Heads Up men!

[The Soldier]

We've received word from General Walker that the request you men put in has been received and a newfangled piece of equipment will soon be arriving in the field for use!
This fancy techno-mumbo Heads Up Device will allow you to keep one eye on the location of the enemy's intelligence papers and the other on your own control points.
This is the problem today's youth have: brainy cowards that like to know everything so they don't need to get their hands dirty with real work! Men should be winning the war in respectable ways. Like killing the enemy, or maiming the enemy, and screaming in the face of death!

Below you can see the declassified parts of the brief we received.

NovaSilisko: ...
NovaSilisko: YOUR failpaper?
A Boojum Snark: I'm the only moderator around, so obviously it was my doing
StoneFrog: sigh
NovaSilisko: so is it fake or not :|
A Boojum Snark: I didn't think it was worth it to spend more time in photoshop than needed.
StoneFrog: I don't know anymore
A Boojum Snark: WHY WOULD I JOKE ABOUT IT
NovaSilisko: ok ok

/me rolls eyes

Can't even have a little bit o' clever fun without the conspiracy machine going into overdrive.

 

[TMP]

You soldiers are so gullible, firing rockets at me and having me fire them right back at you.

Hehehhee..

Anyways, THIS IS AWESOME.

 

[The Political Gamer]

I talked to drpepper and he says it is ok if we post this on other sties. Oh and I just put up a 2f2f thread up for this and The Escapist for the hell of it.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Great, now the whole world is going to see my horrible 10 minute photoshopping

edit: and you know, that image is just zpq's example, it's probably not a good idea to toss it around by itself since valve's will likely be different.

You think that is bad, I just emailed this to kotaku...

Good grief man, you realize pretty much no one but the mappers around here care about it?

On an unrelated note, I think everybody should start addressing me with proper military titles. Acceptable names when speaking with the commander in chief; 4-star General Foods, Major Fail, Captain Obvious, Private Parts, or Lieutenant Colonel Major Major Major (bonus points to anybody who understands the incredibly obscure reference of the last one).

Gotta bum Valve for their continued community support.

*bums*

Other people will care about the update itself and push-ctf being the new mode of play.
