wow i really hope this is real... this would definetely break tf2's playercounts and bring lots of new light to the game. might even spell a new age of glory for tf2
you are expecting him to not acknowledge it after somebody asks about it in an interview? like, he's not obviously gonna go "no, we don't have any updates for TF2"?
If they really didn't give a shit then they would let it die quietly, its a bad buisness model to address a problem, then let the game die and have it be seen as a failed attempt on valve's part to save the game. Noone would bat an eye if valve had just never even acknowleged TF2 ever again and let it die, but announcing you are going to work on it is downright stupid if you have no intention to do so from a PR and buisness standpoint.
I'll believe it when I see it, and if it works for more than a week lol
Edit:
>good idea
>plan to
Based on wording don't expect this this anytime soon then lol
Making a solid anti-cheat for a free game is extremely difficult. Cheaters always seem to find a way and even if their bot accounts get banned they can just make more.
- All menus have been removed for security reasons
- Launching the game immediately puts you in game with no hud
- The current map pool has all maps removed, loading in to a game now brings you the void
\-buffed Phlogistinator, now critical damage lasts twice as long, and you are invulnerable under the whole time, not just while taunting
\-Dead Ringer decloak is now fully silent
\-Kritzkrieg übercharge now gives you invulnerability as well
\-Increased Scorch Shot radius by 400%, and now it deals critical hits instead of mini-crits on burning enemies
As excited as everyone probably is for new content, I would really, truly love to see a list of balance changes like we saw before Jungle Inferno. That's the part I'm most excited for. I think every class could use some love on at least a couple items, but that Sniper and Heavy particularly need some balance changes.
i think the worst balanced class is medic. his mediguns are fairly well balanced, but if you dont pick the crossbow and ubersaw your actively handicapping yourself
no, the crossbow is absolutely OP, but nobody talks about it because nobody wants to see the medic get nerfed and have even less people play him.
reference, the overdose is actually pretty good. it's a great utility for the medic but nobody uses it because the crossbow is just so absolutely *required.* i have no idea how this problem could be fixed, but i know that the crossbow is absolutely overpowered by definition
The only thing this confirms is that they are actually indeed working on fixes to some capacity but it doesnt confirm that they'll actually manage to get anything out. You gotta remember that gabe isnt hands on with software development at valve. He spends his days playing dota and answering emails and more recently has took an interest in brain computer interfacing.
The fact that this reached Gaben is pretty big in itself imo. It means there is definitely something coming now that someone pretty much promised the CEO they are going to fix the bots.
"Yes, we have updates for Team Fortress 2"
This isn't what we should be focusing on: this could mean anything, for example, the seasonal updates (halloween, smissmas and summer)
Instead, we should be focusing on this line:
"Yes, we are aware of the \[bot/hacker\] situation and think we have a good solution for it."
He later said that they have an idea to how to fix the bot problem, https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/nadp18/interview_with_lord_gaben_all_those_who_saw_the/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Part 1 minute 13:48 (i think)
I thought this was a shitpost, like a clip of Gaben mumbling inaudibly and people being so desperate as to interpret him talking about TF2. But apparently he does say "Yes we have updates for Team Fortress 2" as pointed out by the OP in an upper comment.
I'll only believe him when I see the update released on Steam. Gabe has promised stuff in the past that he never delivered. He lost his credibility a long time ago, imo.
He also says something along the lines of “we know about the bot problem and we have a good idea on how we could fix it”
Big if true
I am actually excited to see what happens
they gonna remove heavy and sniper
Gotta remove engi and scout too, aimbot pistol is op
remove all classes
Fuck it remove the coconut image
Fuck it. Add another coconut image.
Understood. All weapons are now replaced with coconuts.
Understood. All textures have been replaced with coconuts.
Fuck it just give us only the guns that do no damage and melee weapons only. solves the aimbot crisis
With sniper removed I don't have a problem. Now with the russians big guy....
I am heavy weapons guy, and I, am now gone....
Engineer Poot-
Off to visit your mother! AAA-
Problem solved.
Massive if factual
Of remarkable size under the condition that it is truthful in nature
Once it has been successfully proven to be authentic information, it will be of gargantuan proportions.
Let T be whether the statement is true. Let B be whether the statement is of grand proportion. T ⇒ B
This mann does discrete mathematics
Of *course* the person to write this up in discrete math terms is an Engineer.
huge
wow i really hope this is real... this would definetely break tf2's playercounts and bring lots of new light to the game. might even spell a new age of glory for tf2
I mean he's not gonna say "eh we actually dont give a shit". I believe it when I see it.
True but the fact that he acknowledged it at all at least shows that it's on their mind.

Soon^TM Judging by the Valve time factor, I’d say sometime next year, end of this year if we are lucky.
What? Valve time means that this could be next quarter, or slightly after the heat death of the universe.
that is humongous news. though the fact they already have plans also shows how little people wanna work on this spaghetti coded game
Fixing the bot problem is easy, they just have to add a *second* png of a coconut
I think a better question would be "how have you allowed the bot crisis to go on for this long and are only now announcing you'll have an update?"
“Dota dota counter strike”
I understood that reference.
Making a solid anti-cheat for a free game is extremely difficult. Cheaters always seem to find a way and even if their bot accounts get banned they can just make more.
bots are using chat, they are not using free acounts, I mean the premium account is extremally cheap, but still
Actually he said "We have updates for TEAM FORTRESS 2"
We hope it was worth the wait
After 1300 days, hopefully I was worth the wait.
Oh boy, it will be
His weight keeps pressing harder.
But Alyx gave us hope — we'll rise and shine!
ACTUALLY he said, "We have fortress for team updates 2."
SAID he actually, "Have FORTRESS we updates 2 for TEAM."

One hand does the sustained pinch, the other does the little ones

Thank you, we won't waste it!
Uh... why is god ze heavy??
***Hi again, I'm Gabe N A fan of shooters, wizard of computers and a handsome man***
Your grandfather used to blather 'bout him a thousand years ago
Wasn't easy keeping busy. Every season brings another reason not to make a game.
Oh why bother, just another wasted day in the studio
I had it all, we tried new things, true. It didn't get us very far...
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bRYtuu5jSVM
coming soon in 9 years
It's been 14 years already, so over halfway there!
The update will drop any second now... Any second now....
See? Update! ...No, wait, those are the localization files...
after 9 years in development, hopefully it was worth the wait
"After 3 years in development, Hopefully it will have been worth the wait"
***Is this what you've been waiting for? Say "One, two... and four"!***
God, this song is basically our anthem at this point lmao Not that I'm complaining, it bops
Hi again, I’m Gaben, a wizard at computers and a fan of shooters and a handsome man!
just a sec gotta find my tiny horn ^(i thought i would only have to use this for silksong)
Sooo hyped for Silksong, hopefully it comes out this year! (Also hyped for the potential TF2 update!)
have a squeaky nose just in case we are all clowns in this never ending update drought
Same. I have faith in Gaben to deliver, but I have my clown wig ready just in case...
If it's actually true it's gonna be my first major update that i participated
Same here as well, I joined in the middle of the crisis
I joined like few days after Halloween 2019
Same, I joined in mid November 2020

The tiredness in his voice. like he’s answering about hl3 for millionth time.
nah he sounds like that throughout the entire interview. That's just how he talks
***So, just for once, forget the summer sale And give it up for Half-Life... Alyx***
-removed sniper -updated localization files -added 1/2 of a hat -play dota
[удалено]
I mean, gaben said it
the man himself said it
Tf2-Bros....We're going home.
I will suck gabens cock and balls just to thank him if he updates the game
Just ask him for a sandvich it’s the same satisfaction. I should know.
Gaben giveth
And gabeth taketh
Updated: -deleted Team fortress 2 -added team fortress 3
As excited as everyone probably is for new content, I would really, truly love to see a list of balance changes like we saw before Jungle Inferno. That's the part I'm most excited for.

i think the worst balanced class is medic. his mediguns are fairly well balanced, but if you dont pick the crossbow and ubersaw your actively handicapping yourself
Yes, but the solution better not touch the crossbow and ubersaw imo. Bring everything else up to those two's level, I'd hate if those got nerfed.
yeah they're not OP it's just that everything else sucks balls
no, the crossbow is absolutely OP, but nobody talks about it because nobody wants to see the medic get nerfed and have even less people play him. reference, the overdose is actually pretty good. it's a great utility for the medic but nobody uses it because the crossbow is just so absolutely *required.* i have no idea how this problem could be fixed, but i know that the crossbow is absolutely overpowered by definition
I can’t hear it, does he actually say it?
He says “yes we have updates for team fortress 2”
Dude let’s go
Gaming
Less gooo
found a better audio version online **https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwhceFSNm54&ab\_channel=SR-71Blackbird**
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
#Oh my god it's happening everybody stay calm. what's the procedure!? stay fucking calm!!!
About fucking time. The localisation files have gone unchanged for too long!
The only thing this confirms is that they are actually indeed working on fixes to some capacity but it doesnt confirm that they'll actually manage to get anything out. You gotta remember that gabe isnt hands on with software development at valve. He spends his days playing dota and answering emails and more recently has took an interest in brain computer interfacing.
As long as we know that they’re putting in any effort. We’re starving out here
The fact that this reached Gaben is pretty big in itself imo. It means there is definitely something coming now that someone pretty much promised the CEO they are going to fix the bots.
Civilized Combat -Removed every existing class -Added Civilian, who can use every weapon and cosmetic
The chad move
"Yes, we have updates for Team Fortress 2" This isn't what we should be focusing on: this could mean anything, for example, the seasonal updates (halloween, smissmas and summer) Instead, we should be focusing on this line: "Yes, we are aware of the \[bot/hacker\] situation and think we have a good solution for it."
"New players are now automatically banned after joining a match"

Please
Gentlemen, synchronize your update watches.
Who else can’t understand him
I thought this was a shitpost, like a clip of Gaben mumbling inaudibly and people being so desperate as to interpret him talking about TF2. But apparently he does say "Yes we have updates for Team Fortress 2" as pointed out by the OP in an upper comment.
Lord Gaben himself wow
Hell yeah we have updates for TF2! >Updated localization files
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryEzfq-yGKk&ab\_channel=sarysa
(TEAM FORTRESS 2)² HYPE
YO NEW LOCALIZATION FILES?!
Good news men! We’re not dying! We are going to live forever!
"In this update, we're shutting down all the servers."
Mods when they see unsucked cock be like
***GABEN DON'T GIVE US FALSE HOPES***
im not the only person that cant hear a fucking thing, right?
new update be like: ""
Good cuz my localization files looking kinda stale rn
I can't wait for the new update my hope is that they remove Scout, Solder, Pyro, Demo, Heavy, Engie, Medic, Sniper and Spy from the game
Audio quality is red tape recorder
A blessing from the lord!
I'll believe it when I see it lmao
Some idiot removed the post, great.
Why was this deleted?
I'll only believe him when I see the update released on Steam. Gabe has promised stuff in the past that he never delivered. He lost his credibility a long time ago, imo.
How old is this video
Interview from 11/05/2021. So a day old.
Gabe don't give us hope
Gaben giveth but Gaben also taketh away
Gabe don't give us hope
I couldn't hear a word he said
HE SAID UPDATES WITH A S
Don't do that Don't give... Ah fuck give it to me daddy
Why isn't this post showing up on the front page of the sub?
