Something tells me that valve cares about mvm now

Prediction - Jungle Update is MvM centric.

idk they did not specify anything...
Maybe they already made some jungle mvm maps by themselves?

I said MvM centric, not MvM only.

Prediction - Jungle Update is MvM centric.

Could even be based on Gray's island-jungle-base in the comics.

That was the thing that pushed me over the prediction, yea.

Expert melee mission

 

[fubarFX]

not sure how you maintain mvm fps with lots of foliage tho, could be tricky to execute

[Crowbar]

Make bots covered in foliage so they actually being a decent part of it to the map. jk

 

[Asd417]

Is it possible to spawn bots with custom model?

 

[BenCo]

Expert melee mission

Expert Submackeen Mission* Award for completing a tour: Australium Submackeen

 

[Hyperion]

Expert melee mission

That actually "refers" to custom mvm mode I have been planning

 

[Tumby]

I don't see from the update alone how Valve is supposed to suddenly care about MvM. One bug is just the coordinator and the other has been fixed (or at least reported) by, just like many mvm bugs before, sigsegv.

 

[Diva Dan]

Yes, without sigsev we would not be having these MVM updates. I wouldn't be hopeful for any new valve made MVM content. However, they did add support for parachute soldiers and stuff a good while back. Still doesn't mean they have something planned

 

[Izotope]

I still wonder what they have planned with that Saxton Hale model of which a picture was leaked.
Prediction: The Australium in space is going to crash down to earth in a jungle, something Saxton Hale something, new SD map.

You heard it here first.

Updated Mann vs. Machine mode

• Fixed a case where late-joining a Mann Up match during the final wave could result in erroneously receiving a ten minute cooldown

Oh they fixed my bug c:

 

[obodobear]

That cleaners carbine taunt bug had actually been bothering me for a while

Yeah, whatever happened to that? It looks super cool, I'd like to see it in an SFM short! For the uninitiated:

People had some slightly reasonable guesses as to what it was for, like a model that comic creators could use to base their line art off of, but that doesn't make much sense- way too detailed.
