Has Valve ever explained why the item server goes down so much ?

MANN VS MACHINE

 

[MatthewB92]

0_0 YES!

 

[Grimm Fandango]

oh my god

 

[Acerac]

Demos get shotguns in 2 days CONFIRMED.

 

[Baroni9]

I wonder how they will make certain classes work for this mode. I don't see the spy, for example, being super useful fighting off hordes of robots.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I honestly haven't felt excitement like this in years.

Oh YOU would complain about that.... >=[
Learn to do something besides douche ring.

I remember one time I joined a server and went spy for fun. I get out and back stab one of them and ALL the players in unison turn and destroy me. I was thinking I'd never seen that good a team at spy checking before...then I found out it was a bit server.... -_-

Yeah, this should be ridiculously fun if they do it right.

I'm sure there will be crazy new weapons/upgrades for this mode, but I hope you can bring in your normal stuff from the main game.

Maybe the sapper will slow them down.

 

[Iadien]

Yawn.

 

[Rickenslacker]

This is the worst time to be relegated to a netbook. Damn you RMA'd GPU!

 

[Alienups]

Maybe the sapper will slow them down.

Or makes them turn on the other robots for a while before exploding or something.

Red Tape Recorder turns them into baby robots

 

[Cloudius12]

MY GOD

 

[Grimm Fandango]

I assume you only get 1 of each class as shown in the trailer.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

The Mannworks page mentions "six criminals" and only medic, soldier, scout, heavy, demoman, and engineer are in the video, so it looks like spy, sniper, and pyro might not even be playable on the first map released.

It's limited to 6 players. All classes are playable though.

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

Demos get shotguns in 2 days CONFIRMED.

Yeah, I'd like to see that happen.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Yawn.

Hey, look. Just cause there isn't a mode in tf2 where you press a button to call "JASON" out, doesn't mean this isn't a good update.

Besides, all you play is crapsman sniper nowadays anyways.

 

[Proven]

Yessssss.

This will tide me over nicely until GW2 launches.

 

[Alienups]

Join server

 

[dragonlife]

The music, the camera work... I was seriously smiling while watching that Mann vs Machine video. Wow.

I also got some huge L4D vibes. ROBOT TANK AT THE END!?

Spoiler

or an equivalent

OH GOD YES. SPINNING CAMERA ON THE PLAYERS KILLING SHIT.

I'm excited for this. I love co-op. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Forkball]

IT HAPPENED.

Wish it could support more players, but ROBOTS

 

[Wendel Clark]

valve admitting pyro is worthless

 

[feel]

this is crazy awesome, Vale rules

 

[Owensboro]

Alright TF2 GAF, looks like I need to get in a team of 6. My Most played classes in descending order are Medic/Engineer > Soldier/Heavy > Pyro >>>Demoman >>>>>Sniper >>>>>>>....>>>>Spy. I've probably played over 500 hours of this game since release, so I don't suck too much

Anyone need a good support specialist on their team? Also, how the hell have I not joined the GAF Steam group? I'm an idiot. AN IDIOT I TELL YOU.

KSRF VS. GRAY

THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY

 

[Yeef]

Hmm. Apparently the server host I'm using now isn't accepting new orders. If I can find another super-cheap place, I'll probably set up 2 or 3 extra MvM-only GAF servers. We'll see.

 

[dragonlife]

Oh, man.

Not my night at all. Suckage pouring out of my entire being.

 

[fallengorn]

You are da best. You deserve that t.

 

[Clydefrog]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i just watched the video!!!

 

[AcciDante]

The randoms are already here :[

 

[Forkball]

The matchmaking code we've seen earlier was probably related to MVM. Valve might implement a party system like in Dota, seems the easiest way to play with your friends.

 

[Blizzard]

The music in the first half of the video was cool, like Good Bad and the Ugly music.

I wonder how people who didn't buy backpack extenders feel about the upcoming loot? I have like 330/400 items and that's only because someone was awesome and traded me a backpack extender already. :/ How can people keep their stuff otherwise?

On a brighter note, the comics are great, and I still like <3 Miss Pauling <3.

 

[Yeef]

I'm guessing any loot gained in MvM will be specific to that mode and won't appear at all in the normal backpack. It might even be persistent, but we'll see.

Fo sho

This is where that +5% to damage stuff was going to be coming into play.

 

[commissar]

I will play this video game

 

[Blizzard]

Oh man, I just realized that Sitting Pyro is in one of these comics too. That's awesome.

 

[Yeef]

So here's a question for all:

If I were to set up, say 2 MvM servers, would you guys prefer one East Coast and one West Coast or both in the middle of the country?

One west and one east would be great, if you are made of money (thanks!).

da bes

One west and East sounds like, but I feel it will separate the player base on Gaf server.

I just realized how inefficient servers will be (1 server for only 6 people).

 

[dragonlife]

Where's the Jank one located?

 

[Yeef]

Chicago.

I just realized how inefficient servers will be (1 server for only 6 people).

Normal players don't take many resources for servers, but bots use lots (relatively) of CPU cycles.

Also, pretty much every host charges by the number of server slots, so a 6-slot server will be much cheaper than a normal 24~26 slot server.

 

[MatthewB92]

I say in the middle. That way we don't split people.

 

[Alienups]

East coast please

 

[Clydefrog]

west coast and i will actually play with you guys

 

[Professor Beef]

East coast please

You betray your avatar, god dammit.
