Mann vs Machine Update!

[Mythor]

Essentially a co-op wave survival mode, Mann vs Machine is coming in two days. (Or thereabouts.)
Trailer and info starts here: http://www.teamfortress.com/mvm/

No more speculation, it's coming!

yay Co-op!

We should form teams and hoard all the loot. Bountiful treasure for all!

Confirming that I support hoarding loot.

will be cool mowing down a bunch of robots with crits.

Sounds really fun!

I don't envy Hydra and co who'll have to set up all the servers!

Bring it, robots!

Day 2 is up. Upgrades, canteens sound fun.

However the scout upgrades have me slightly worried. I can see a large number of kiddies going scout simply to scoop up the credits. Hopefully there's credits for kills etc, not just dropped loot.

Credit is distributed evenly amongst teammates.

That would be my hope, too. The scouts will have a tough job against the mannbots due to their lower health, so they need some boosts to be viable.

Extra clip size could be fun for the Force-a-nature.

Most excited for the piercing arrows for the Huntsman though. That's going to be FUN!

Thanks for that. Was hoping for something like this.

I drop in and out of TF2 but this update seems like it's going to be heaps of fun. I played a little bit of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, and it was surprisingly great. Combined with first person and TF2, it could be something quite special. (MvM, ME3, Gear of War horde mode, and others are all very similar in design, no?)
