>It's a fucking update comic
Fuck you, user. I hope you die in a fire, abandoned by all your loved ones.

That was good

Too bad it's not a mainline comic

>They had time to make this but not the story comic

>tf2w they release the next comic after they release HL3

>TF2 adds the Carlton dance

>unbox carlton taunt
>it's not unusual

here

Thank you for the trips

o shit , i wast them

HL3 comes out when the Steam Engine 3 does. They are working on Steam Engine 3, using Left 4 Dead 3 as the test game which we've had leaks of.
All the Orange Box threequels will come out in SE3, including L4D 3, Portal 3, Half Life 3, and likely Team Fortress 3.

So...I'm betting the main story is planned to end with the release of Team Fortress 3. Which they hopefully transfer the items from, I'm not giving up my Strange Festive Wrench. I got it when I started playing, my first hat purchase was a Christmas light hardhat to match, I am not giving it up.

Isn't TF2 dead yet?

Damn, why they got to make me choose between my two favorite classes?

... although fucking honestly Pyro needs more help than Heavy.

Maybe they're different teams? I don't know how Valve works.

>HL3 comes out when the Steam Engine 3 does. They are working on Steam Engine 3, using Left 4 Dead 3 as the test game which we've had leaks of.

>Steam Engine

You mean the fucking Source Engine.

A steam engine is a locomotive.

Also, the writer for Half Life left over a year ago, and G-man is dead. So we're never getting that back unless they did something five years ago, and it's in the can.

Yes, now we have Overwatch.

They really, REALLY want to make sure they don't lose their audience to Overwatch after sitting with their hands under their bums for eight years.

Naw, they kind of forgot about it for a year though. Maps in open beta have been that way for two years nearly.

They're adding ranked competitive mode now to compete with Overwatch.
But TF2 is in a good place where you can play it AND another shooter and still have fun. Its strength is in how casual and amusing it is, so I doubt it'll ever really die.

>tfw its not a story comic

TF2 was probably longer popluar that cs classic.

>MAKE HEAVY (OR PYRO) GREAT AGAIN
oh god, they did it.

It was already on its last legs by the time the game became about hats, and even that has become tired and stale.

And yeah, now there's Waifuwatch. D.Va a cute.

Yes, and good for it for staying that long.

But ultimately they got lazy due to a lack of competition (and it really was a lack of competition- no matter how good other games looked, they ultimately failed themselves because of bad server issues, lack of support, never leaving beta, etc).

Now it's like they've been asleep for so long and Overwatch blasts into the scene as a fully realized game and stole the spotlight and it's to the point where there's really no reason for new players to go to TF2 anymore.

>Team Fortress 2 trying to be relevant.

TF2 is dead. Bury it.

Consider this Mercy.

Dorito Gremlin

Is it just me or does Miss Pauling look like she's drawn a lil fatter than her previous versions?

a cute

>D.Va a cute.

FEED ME DORITOES

CUUUUUUUTE

Nigger they're still pulling 50,000 players a day and getting a competitive mode.

it's insane

How would you like your Mei, pham?

I play both.

Now modern shooters? Dead fucking genre.

Fuck the Battlefields and Call of Duties. Same shit, different gen.

You need character, imagination.

Who the fuck's going to care about competitive mode outside the existing fan base?

nerf this

THICC

the only people still playing TF2 are BRs and 13 year olds

everyone, all the "tf2 famous" guys, all the competitive players, already abandoned it

How many of these people are brazillians, russians, bronies, and furries though?

This thread is about comics set in the tf2 universe, we're not talking about the game.
How do you justify shilling Overwatch here?

okay the bit with the dogs was adorable, and I love that they finally gave names to the rest of Heavy's mini-guns, but man does this update have me conflicted, cause really both classes need new stuff badly, although I'd say Pyro needs it slightly more than Heavy

They're both getting it, the contest is to see who gets it first.

>cosplayer isn't Asian
sore wa yurusenai

This. Hell, they all need new items.
I want an Engie vs Spy update though.

But

>One lucky class is going to get a full-fledged class pack in a future update! New weapons! New balancing! New achievements! It could be Heavy. Or it could be Pyro. But it's not gonna be both!

>But it's not gonna be both!

Like what the fuck. Do nothing for years with a constantly delayed competitive mode and then pretend you can't update two underpowered classes at the same time?

read the news post on the blog

Yes?

The blog's still around?

No, the other dorito gremlin.

>>tf2w
I think i see what you did there. NIce!

This is pretty trueBut in the end tf2 will always be an f2p backed by slavs and other poorfags

How does pyro communicate the idea that he wants new weapons when he

A. Is retarded, and

B. Has that mask on

It's almost like this isn't trying to be realistic

The joke is we don't know

But just like in rl the slavs can't keep a stable society.

There is till this guy and his viewers tho

>Caring about that when valve is making any comics at all
Retard

And christ on the topic those Overwatch comics are bland

Valve needs more outlets for their comedy writers. They should just make a tf2 and dota 2 singleplayer campaign.

Can't we all get along?

Valve properties are unrivaled in how much untapped potential they have.

An Overwatch/TF2 crossover would be cool.

Never going to happen though.

Valve and Blizzard have DC/Marvel levels of pettiness towards each other.

>still no continuation for the tf2 comic
>still no new dota 2 comic

you blame blizzard for failing to capitalize on dota's success for that

I know Telltale has kind of went to shit. But I still want a TF2 game from them.

Blizzard will never stop being salty that they were too stupid to pick up dota.
I mean how many games have they put Pudge into after losing dota name to Valve? Like 3?

>No Pugna as a little girl comic
VALVE PLS

>Scout and Ms Pauling walking down a hallway talking
>Windranger leans against a tree while Drow solves puzzles

Seriously though, what happened to Telltale? Valve could outsource to another one of their smaller guys though maybe.

That's not Pudge, its Stitches. Stitches himself was in Warcraft 3 before DOTA existed, and he was just a reference to the Butcher from Diablo 1.

I'm saying pudge because i'm talking about the general abilities/playstyle, not so much the design/aesthetic, I know it all came from Diablo 1 butcher

Both are getting updates, whoever wins gets priority in release

For some reason, Pugna's skull always reminds me of a pit bull or whatever Bloodseeker is.

mang
meat hook is a dnd skill nobody invented the thing but dota did start the trend

also
stitches was in wc3?
i remember him being wrath/WoW but not wc3
unless i missed a unique abom in the campaign

I remember when a new TF2 comic filled me with excitement.

Now I hear about it, realize it's just going to be more Pauling wank, shrug and continue on my way. The fact that I didn't even consider reading it gave me pause. How did it come to this point?

Because you're creating imaginary problems to comics you don't read.

Meh, Blizzard would probably just fuck up Dota if they picked it up. The way they balance their heroes in HotS is godawful.

Yeah they would have.
I haven't played HotS but their Stacraft balancing has always been shit. Really I always found Blizzard overrated so I'm alright with Icefrog being hired by Valve.

>The way they balance their heroes in HotS is godawful.

HOTS is fairly well balanced at the moment. A few heroes at the bottom, but other than Kerrigan, most heroes are fine to decent in pub play. In comp play, most warriors/supports see regular. Most assassins see regular play outside of like Butcher, Kerrigan, Jaina, and Nova. Most specialists also see niche play.

DOTA is too stupid for Blizzard. They would try to refine it and remove all of the fun, like HOTS

Dude, she was in, like, the equivalent of two pages, getting outsmarted by Heavy.

That's it. Chill out.

WHERE
IS
THE
FUCKING
UPDATE

>NO NEW WEAPONS

>CS been around since 1997
>TF2 since 2007

Nope

That is not the TF2 comic I wanted.

Remember when the comic was going to be what was it, bimonthly?

Yeah, then they forgot if that means every two weeks or two months?
They spent like 6 months settling that issue.

is CS classic still active?

He's paid to do it.

>trying to create fandom drama so their fandom with ADHD can stop jerking off to overwatch girls and notice them again
>make people compete over which class should get updates even though they were supposed to do it anyway
I am actually glad i dropped this game

The closest TF2 has to a campaign is MvM, but even that's multiplayer.

Valve Time.

I'm not even trying to make a joke here.

I didn't read it, because the last couple comic updates were poor. But I'm right in assuming she gets more face time than the majority of the mercenaries yet again?

There are a grand total of two mercenaries in this comic, and they both get more face time than she does.

Yo where'd you get this picture

Also: read the fucking comic and/or shut up.

the 3rd most played game on steam is dead?

didn't even cause a lasting dent in tf2's numbers.
and they also play nothing alike

You could tell by the art it was a different guy and more likely was just a commission.

>the 3rd most played game on steam is free
fix'd

God forbid we lose such evergreen mechanics like turn rate and last hitting.

Your pleb is showing, turn rate especially being integral to hero balance.

It sucks dude.

...

Autism is what makes DOTA compelling, though.

>Winner of update decides who gets an actual update
>They're both getting an update anyway so this is fairly pointless
Is just fixing them both at the same time to hard or something?

Are we really going to have to wait one year for a Heavy update and 2 maybe 3 for Pyro?

Fuck you with that picture, I'm going to be thinking about this shit all night. Rhydon's prolly the right answer tho.

Fucks sake just read it instead of being an annoying cunt.
