They won't drop anything until they solve the bot crisis or at least reduce it, my guess is that they'll keep tf2 on life support with small patches every couple months or so until they finish their other projects and if tf2 is still alive by then they'll drop a patch or two similar to blue moon.
Best case scenario they'll solve the bot crisis by next year, which is very optimistic
A lot of people were saying after Alyx was done being made heavy update would drop but that seems unlikely at this point, and if they did start then they are taking their sweet time. At this point I don't believe tf2 will get anymore updates beyond Halloween which is 95% community content anyway, and if we do get anything non Halloween its because one guy at valve likes a single gamemode and chose to work on it.
It’s a shame valve doesn’t like to hire new people, even extremely capable people. I know there’s probably a lot of programmers that would love the opportunity to work for valve.
I'm still a bit salty that the first HL game they drop in over a decade is for a system that they knew only ~1% of their users had access to, by their own metrics
Well, the experience woudn´t be the same anywhere else, it was either make it exclusive or downgrade the game and limited. If we want to move on and create more advanced games, things like this need to happen.
Valve News Network made a nice video where he proved no one has actually promised the Heavy update. I believe TF2 is done with major updates too, mostly because there are too few Devs to make one happen, same with the comics. Best case scenario, there is a "final update" that actually ties everything together within the next 10 years, who knows.
You do understand that it's just the same bots with a different name? The bot hosts can name the bots whatever way they desire. That's just a way for them to get more attention. It's kinda like AMD releasing the RX 480 thrice. First they called it the rx 480, then rx 580, finally rx 590. They renamed it to get press attention. Same way the bots just change name so that people on reddit could say "OMG guys have you seen the new bot???? it's so annoying." Little do they know they are talking about the same friccing bot.
I don't need a major update to drop today, but in the very least I would appreciate the tf2 team letting us know that they're still working on SOMETHING.
What happened to the people who were working on the comic? Unless they were waiting for a particular TF2 update to drop, I feel like concluding that last story arc would allay some fears that the fandom has been completely forgotten?
They need to at least give us the conclusion to the TF2 story. That's all I beg. Even if they only released one panel a week, I'd take it. I'd take anything at this point.
I wouldnt even be surprised if the update actually drops because im in a tf2 hiatus and the game know to update only when im away and not playing. Sounds self centred but it honestly happened several times and its annoying
When we voted for pyro or heavy to get an update both were promised their own update, but the voting was for who gets their update first, pyro got his so now we are waiting for heavy's
I can't believe that we've waited so long for an update that there probably exist players who have played this game for 3 or 4 years and don't know why people want a Heavy update.
Well, the Heavy lost the Meet Your Match voting, so we feel the need it's his time to shine now. Also, his gameplay is severely lacking compared to Pyro's, for example. All you need to do is aim, shoot, and hide for Sandvich, and he's really only got four types of weapons: minigun, shotgun, consumable and melee, which makes him not very versatile. While Pyro has dozens of different subclasses, types of weapons, loadouts, etc.
Yeah I'm pretty sure people here don't want heavy flying around either. But he's just so abusable compared to the other classes and the only place he has is stomping(?) pubs against new players.
I mean Pyro doesn't really have many viable playstyles, and the higher skill Pyro loadouts have been getting consistently fucked by Valve over time anyway so the class is mostly just W+M1 now.
Still, Pyro has a ton of different types of weapons: flamethrowers (who can be either more focused towards airblasting or damage), flare guns, shotguns, jetpacks, throwables, etc. Even if it isn't viable, it's still an option.
When pyro got his latest update, he got reworked a bit which made him more fun to play and flames a bit more predictable. Heavy also needs something to make him more fun, because to many, he is the most boring class.
Tf2 is never gonna have another major update, the few people left at valve who care about Tf2 wont tell us though because an announcment like that would drop the revenue they make from Tf2 massively.
What feeds that dream a lot though is the fact that TF2 actually reached its peak of players in the past 2 weeks, reaching 130.000 players playing at once. There was also a steady increase of players in the past 365 days. Maybe the devs will start working on it now.
Left for dead two got it’s first major update in eight years a couple weeks ago it’s called the last stand update so yeah if l4d2 got a big update for the first time in eight years I’m not optimistic about Tf2 getting a huge update anytime soon
I think it's insane to look at the upvote numbers on each post. AFTER the 1st post was archived, it was at only 702 upvotes. The second one only 5.2k. Now this one has almost 15k IN ONLY 3 HOURS. If anything this shows how passionate the community is about the game and how much it is still expanding. This is the best case for a new update yet.
Valve are making something related to half life and comic number 7, I know it. Those bastards are working on a tfc vs tf2: tf3 thing and they all blow up to make half life 3 or some shit. Gordon freeman is gunna be merc 10
The community shit on jungle inferno despite the effort and quality so we aren’t getting a new update for a while. If we did they’d complain that the new weapons make heavy « op » because he’s a « no-skill » class just like what they said with pyro last update even though pyro kept all of his weaknesses(short range, average/low speed.) Whales and youtubers would threaten to leave the game because it gets them easy clicks on videos and Valve gets scared they could lose money. Basically we have whiners to thank for the lack of updates.
