I think we all owe Valve an apology

Merry Smissmas, everyone.

Smissmas means hats, festives, and WHAT'S THIS, A NEW GAME MODE? NEW WEAPONS? GRAPPLING HOOKS?"

It seems the stuff that was rumored to be shipped with the EoTL update was shipped less than a month later in the Smissmas update. (Minus snowplow)

Which begs the question, why didn't Valve combine the two?

Now the real question is, did Overwatch rip off TF2's grappling hooks while they were still in development? Did the TF2 team rip off Overwatch's grappling hooks in less than a month? Did they both invent them at the same time, prompting the next Newton/Leibniz debate? The world may never know.

Be Festive, Everyone.
 
Why combine the two when they can release them seperate, weeks apart and give people something to complain about?!
 
I was like "So many chnages to demo! Maybe all classes will be happy!" Nope. Only Demo. I just want a new knife :c
 
Loch-n-load buffed
tide turner nerfed
stuff buffed to negate the tide turner nerf

Whelp...time to rage.
 
Omg they finally nerfed the tide turner finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tide turner

added penalty: Taking damage while shield charging reduces remaining charging time
kills while charging now only add 75% meter on charge kills instead of 100%

I have high, high hopes for that new game mode with the grappling hooks. Really! Fighting people is similar to miniboss fights, and if you defeat said miniboss, you get to BECOME said miniboss! That is unless, of course, if you are already a miniboss. And it completely turns into boss fight fortress once you become the batman! Health buff, insane vampire skills, and EVEN BLOODY DAMAGE RESISTANCE!

Although grapples can be nerfed a bit though; give it a charge similar to baseballs in MVM.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention something....

"Snowplow is too hard for new players to understand."
*Adds grappling hooks, along with OP powerups that make someone impossible to kill if they're smart enough*

Because you need a new knife that instakills everyone, just like all the others? Maybe a new watch that lets you teleport away any time you get shot when cloaked? :P

I think Dee would settle for something that makes him immune to my rocket launcher.
 
No.......................

No more insanely fun chain kills with Tide Turner. Just last week I chained together 3 nasty decapitations and while en route to the 4th I switched to pipes and piped the hell out of someone. 4 kills in like what seemed .5 seconds.

RIP Tide Turner, you were insanely fun and still will be (but not as much)

If you look at the clad buff, the clad/turner combo still does that.

Well, you see, the Snowplow gamemode is something that wasn't in any other game before (and if so, it wasn't very popular), while powerups and grappling hooks are very well known.
Along with that, the new gamemode is still in Beta, just like Snowlplow was at one point. It's more than likely that, if it even is officially realeased, it will take some time.
 
To be fair, I thought Snowplow was too similar to a Payload or Attack/Defense map, so I don't feel too bad for it failing the test marketing.

Robot Destruction is too similar to Capture the Flag... All they did was add a single new "layer" to strategy and gameplay, what with the fact that you have to collect the opponents cores first before the opposing team can steal your reactor core.

This, however, seems different enough, I suppose. Making people tanks seems like an interesting concept, even if it's done over a strikingly similar form of CTF.

As for the new game mode it's great! I love to grapple behind someone stab them then grapple cloak away. I see it being a visible only thing though. They might change it to make spies less awesome :c
