Interview 25th March 2012

Save the best till last maybe ???

something else!! oh they spoil us

I'm going to guess... 10th class.

Something else could likely relate to both Spy PDA and Engi PDA's now having a slot in the character load-out screen since the last patch, perhaps?

theyre getting ipads?

Any new trailer/video from Valve is a cause for excitement, & given their increasing ambition with each passing "Meet The" video, I'm hoping for something special for the class with the best hats that I almost never play :)

I'm pretty sure those Spy & Engineer loadout slots were added for forthcoming Strange Sapper/PDA variants that people appear to get all excited about - Some of the recently added Strange Parts variables could support this.

Anything more adventurous (more items that blur the class roles, for example) can't be ruled out, but isn't something I particularly want to think about.

The "something else" referenced could be one, or both, of a couple of things: The continually teased Raid Mode, and an overhaul/extension of the Replay System.

Raid Mode is so divergent (in assumed concept - the legion of mindless BLU Soldiers parading to their inevitable doom during Meet the Medic always bugged me) from the core game that I doubt I'll play it longer than to attain whatever Achievement Hats they attach to it (which reminds me. I've played Foundry regularly since it was added & somehow still haven't achieved that awful hat with the pipes on it). Whereas I'd warmly welcome a working Replay System i.e. One that doesn't crash my game to desktop upon attempting to edit 9 out 10 replays - It's almost been a year since the Replay Update, so the timing seems to fit.

I've even heard talk of the Source Filmmaker making a non-Beta appearance, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves :)

TF2 for ipad

So thats April 14th 2032 for a release date ?

I just hope its
1. epic and better than 'meet the medic'
2. contains lots of fire
3. does'nt reveal the identity/nationality of the pyro
4. more fire
5. 4 cans of napalm
6. 66 flaming deaths
7. And a solly hanging from a pear tree

Boris

Oh and
8. Lots more fire

<<runs off giggling

You bet they won't, they will just make highly ambiguous hints about the pyro's real gender, but they won't reveal anything. They like to tease us, at Valve
