MvM Day One: They Are Legion

[Idolon]

Watching the video again, I realized the Heavy wasn't using his signature weapon. I guess he can't afford those custom tooled cartridges anymore having lost his job? Nice touch.

They've also mentioned that:
A) The robots are filled with money
B) There is an upgrading system
I'm guessing that most classes will not start with their primaries.

I'm assuming that players can upgrade to genuine (not stock) weapons, so can players upgrade to weapons they don't actually own (aren't in their inventories)? I'm interested to see how this pans out.

Killing Floor + TF2 is what I'm getting at. Or Survival Mode L4D2 + TF2. Nazi Zombies + TF2.

Either way, I can't wait to see how this works.

Oh my god this means so many things for the mapping community. :O

I was listening to the beginning of this song when I saw that

mvm vs mode make it happen valve

Extine blogs on how he playtested this @ Valve HQ, some small facts about the mode explained. http://youtu.be/Ffn8h6DUOaw

My head is already going to ideas how to map for this. From the video that theharribokid just linked, it sounds like the map that will be released for the game mode is a rather standard hold-your-turf survival map.

I think it would be interesting if it could be rigged up like a multi-CP KOTH where players have to hold out at an area for a specific amount of time before mobilizing to the next hold out location. That sense of urgency and required movement is what made games like Killing Floor or FEAR 3's 'F*cking Run' mode exciting to me.

i dunno i think the way the objective is set up seems pretty baller. maybe this is where sd came from heh.

Oh, not denying it. I'm just thinking ahead. And it looks as if we only got a glimpse of the first map (according to the "Map 01" on the update page) - look forward to seeing what else is in store.

EDIT: By the way, down about halfway http://www.teamfortress.com/mvm/machines/

Did they take Rexy's atomic bomb payload cart model? Hah. The tail is much larger, but it has quite a few similarities (aside from the fact it's modeled off an actual bomb).

I was thinking about that too.

I'll still use Rexy's though, it's so sexy.

I don't know if said yet, but I found the model of that giant vehicle from the video in the TF2 game files. Same goes for a lunar rover and some other lunar stuff. And I never downloaded a map with that, so it must be official stuff. Lunar map is going to be added? I don't know, but I hope so.

 

[Wilson]

That lunar stuff been there rather long time now.

 

[tyler]

The carrier is in a few official maps. The wiki knows where.

 

[Pocket]

What lunar stuff? The grockets?

 

[EArkham]

The props_lunary stuff? I thought that came from Bulletcrops or something. There's no props_lunary inside the TF gcf anyway.
