Internal system changes in preparation for a future update

Let's fuckin' do this

 

[RodionJenga]

Teeheeheee, oh TF2, you're such a tease!

 

[Nighttime71]

Two mo' updates an TF2 becomes the devil!

You don't mess about with internal file structure changes when all you do is add even more worthless weapon skins and slap a contract on it, alongside the metric buttload of weapon changes.

So something is coming when it comes to performance. Just what it is, we have to wait. Probably a week-and-a-half or something, judging by the fact that Gun Mettle came out a year earlier on July 1st. Hopefully it doesn't completely and utterly destroy the game like Gun Mettle did. which valve will manage to do anyway because valve/TF2

I'm willing to wager that this is going to happen tomorrow, because that's when the Steam Summer Sale is going to start.

Ill keep TF2 closed just in case... cant risk the purple textured items like when Invasion got pushed.

But I loved the gig-error counter!

Some of the stuff found in this update:

Text explaining comp matchmaking.

Changes to the first blood achievement

Text saying competitive coin bronze/silver/gold

Asteroid is no longer in the beta quick play (but the servers are still up) so we might see the final version of it in this update.

 

[Snowbat]

It's gonna be another bunch of shitty contracts to earn some shitty skins and zero fixes.
I guarantee it.

Text explaining comp matchmaking.

In this picture, you can see a cool mouse cursor. Wondering if thats gonna be new in the update, or if the screenshotter just has a custom cursor.

I also see: "best-of-three format 6v6 match." The fact that they say "6v6 match" in the description of competitive play makes me worried that Highlander won't be available. Might just be a little nit-pick though.

It's Hammer you should worry about. TF2 won't update while the game is running, but Steam doesn't realize that Hammer counts as part of the game. Which reminds me, I should probably close Hammer now, ha ha.

 

[CommodoreKong]

There are around 10,000 comp game servers now, in the beta there were between 2000-3000. They're ramping up the server count for this update.

Place yer bets, fellas, place your bets!

What am I bid on Scout nerfs? I've got 1:2 odds on Phlog changes, safe bet, yes? Any takers for there not being a new comic in the next month? Update breaking the hud? Place yer bets!

If they will release MM, I'm going to play it 24/7 just to never meet new players again in there

Looks like all those servers aren't actually matchmaking servers, they're all Valve servers:

According to Jill:

Well, hypothetically, we accidentally opt every quickplay server into hosting MM games, and even the mannpower servers decide it'd be neat to help out.

Hypothetically.

The next update is gonna be neato.

I really doubt that the update full of weapon reskins & contracts is a thing of "neato".

Guys, just stop. Don't be so pessimistic! I am pretty sure that it's going to BE a-okay!

we just have to wait

Well EOTL was also supposed to be neato and that didn't turn out to well did it...

If neato in Valve terms means "more fugly worthless weapon skins and no update testing so that game craps the bed and it takes more than a year to fix it" then yes, it's neato.
