the Source Filmmaker thing is also an announcement.  An official machinima tool used to make these.

[Vizzys]

PYRO IS ON BATH SALTS

[CajoleJuice]

It'd be nice if Valve actually starting doing shit that matters to games. Making fun little videos is not one of those things.

you know this comes with a free update you moron

[CajoleJuice]

yeah I'm cool with free updates to a game I go back to more than any other

[Vizzys]

I also like to bitch about free things

Updates to a five year old game ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. The game has become too old. You can't infinitely update a game and pretend that's good or even better than a whole new game with new mechanics.

You're basically saying "it's old therefore it is bad".  TF2 has excellent gameplay that holds up after half a decade and I'd much rather play it over any Cowadoody or Battlefield game that has "new mechanics".

And if the update is nice, good for you. But what they should have done is the update alone, not the update+this video. The video contributes nothing.

The video is promotional material for their new update.  I guess companies should just ship games without any form of advertising whatsoever.

WHAT IS THIS COUNTER STRIKE GAME AND WHY ARE PEOPLE PLAYING IT IN 2012

[Robo]

I'm not sure what to make of this video.  Being entertained ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

[brob]

when did videos start just being videos!?

[Great Rumbler]

It's a Pryo video for a Pyro update.

[Joe Molotov]

I HOPE NO ONE USES IT EVER BECAUSE VALVE SHOULD BE MAKING CALL OF PORTAL 3 INSTEAD OMG! 

[Trent Dole]

Bitching, counter-bitching, and satirization of bitching. Yeah that's a thread about vidya in 2012 alright.

it's only because the actual update isn't out yet  :'(

[CajoleJuice]

you must want to see blizzard nuked off the face of the earth

[Himu]

Blizz is making a new mmo.

[CajoleJuice]

Blizz is making a new mmo.

that will be out in 2015

[Himu]

So 10 years after WoW. Not bad.

[pilonv1]

This video is so great

[Himu]

what do you mean, should have been out by now? blizz just finished diablo 3, they're working wow expansion and a sc2 expansion. it'll have priority after those, most likely.

[fistfulofmetal]

I imagine the majority of Valve is busy making Episode 3 or Half Life 3 and has been busy with this for a very long time.

The rest of Valve was put on L4D and Portal.

With Portal 2 done last year they could either be:

-Working on a follow up to Team Fortress 2
-Working on a follow up to L4D 2
-Working on a follow up to Portal 2

You have to think about what is worth more to Valve.

I bet you want a new Team Fortress but it makes no sense to make one. Right now TF2 is very profitable to Valve and likely takes very little to maintain.

So I know you want a new TF game but there aren't enough of you out there to warrant it right now.

holy shit the last part of the update has pyroglasses that allow you to see the game world like in the video

GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT SOON SINCE THE PATCH IS LIVE.

WHO WANTS TO PLAY GUYS.

[Himu]

I'll play after I finish Louie

ps i suck

[fistfulofmetal]

update is crawling.

[cool breeze]

I imagine the majority of Valve is busy making Episode 3 or Half Life 3 and has been busy with this for a very long time.

I'm really interested in seeing what Half Life 3 will be.  Considering how much bank Valve makes off these community supported games, I wonder if they'll let that business seep into the half-life series.  I think it'd be cool if Episode 3 is traditional half life, and then Half Life 3 is something really different.  Maybe the debut of a new engine.

I'd be stoked for a Valve made Borderlands/Dead Island style game.  Not saying that's what HL3 should be.  Maybe Alien Swarm 2!

[CajoleJuice]

update is crawling.

i can't even get mine to start

[fistfulofmetal]

It totally changes the textures of the entire map:

[pilonv1]

That looks so hot. 6hrs+ till I will be home to play it

[Joe Molotov]

If you try to put the goggles on the Pyro, it glitches the rest of your inventory and you can't equip anything else to all classes.

Pyro Goggles: The last item you ever need to equip.

Can't wait to grind for hats tonight
