TF2 is getting random drops.

So is this part of every game's quest to become more like World of Warcraft?

**Loot** · 04-21-2009, 11:39 AM

It's obvious TF2 is ripping off Pong more with hit detection, AI, etc.

Random drops in a competitive MMOFPS? Even I can't see how the hell it'd work. What are they gonna drop random achievements like sandviches or weapons?

Micropayments ahoy...

My level 70 Night Medic just killed another Goblin with the ubersaw...But I should go to the shop in Gravelpit and stock up on some potions before I go to Well.

Hm... interesting. My first reaction is, I don't like it, but I'll reserve judgment until I've seen it. Also, what's your source? I don't see anything about this on the TF2 site, although I didn't look very hard.

Kargath · 05-06-2009, 03:34 AM

Internal code in the TF2 GCF lists drop categories etc.

**Loot** · 05-06-2009, 08:37 AM

They're saying this is just one big joke, as part of one of the patches included a "quest" system.

Cause Valve loves screwing with people.

Metal Man · 05-06-2009, 01:03 PM

Heh, yeah, I doubted it was real considering how silly it'd be.

Kargath · 05-06-2009, 04:02 PM

^^No, that was after the Steam forums had a bunch of "World of TF2" threads in response to the random drop code, the next update included some more code as a joke this time.
