TF2 MvM update (now with co-op mode)

The only benefit to paying is new items... that are tradeable. It's just like any other time they've added new weapons. Those who pay will get them first. The rest of us wait until they become tradeable or craftable. The gameplay of MvM is exactly the same. In the free mode you just don't get the special item drops. You still get regular item drops ofc.

edit: it's not even weapons. Mann Up mode just gives cosmetic items only. So when you pay, you just get access to rare cosmetic items, that's it.

How did hats ruin the game? They are purely cosmetic, they can all be crafted for free and all have a random drop chance,

They don't change the way the game is played at all

yea i never understand why people say that :rolleyes:
 
Well I gave it a go but it took 40 minutes to connect and then had trouble with the GUI being all over the place, however I think my second problem occurred from an ad supported splash screen.
 
Paid close to full price this game years back. Would be happy to pay the same again for all the content they've added for free over the years.
 
All sounds good... I don't mind paying 59p per mission providing the ticket isn't lost until you've completed it. My only question would be, once you've completed one for 59p and got the "rare item" what's the incentive to pay for another ticket and do the same mission again, does the loot rotate or something?
 
If all you want is one ticket, do you still have to pay £4 min. to add to your wallet or is there another way?
 
They really need to find a way to make the system work when people leave the party.

Not many people want to join games in progress and the waves don't adjust themselves to the number of players left either, so you're pretty much screwed if someone leaves.

Other than that it's damn fun, albeit rather challenging!

There's multiple items. You get a random one.

God damn this mode is hard, I'm loving it but I don't think many pub groups are going to get it done, In the first game I played 3 people all picked pyro and wouldn't change, If you have a coordinated team of 6 I imagine it will be great fun

Nope. The mode is free.

You pay £0.59 for cosmetic item drops when you complete the missions.

Reading comprehension. It's hard.

Hardly reading comprehension issues, the post mentioning money didn't explicitly state there are two modes. Even still, paying 60p for a pot-shot at getting a cosmetic item is a swindle of the highest order. It's the video-game equivalent of those hook-plunger machines at arcades. I'm insulted that Valve treat their playerbase like this, regarding them as nothing more than bovine cash-cows for gimmick items. They're getting rich off the presumption that 90% of casual gamers are idiots (and it seems they are).
