I've got a buddy that is a pretty reliable source for some of this information. He's never played TFC or any Fortress mod before, but with what he does for a living I would tend to believe him... Again, this is a log with someone who is a 30+ year old PROFESSIONAL web developer that has no interest in Fortress really... Theres a couple of key phrases in this log that I REALLY like.

[12:44] <iTG`RoME`WTF> have you seen the new TF2 trailer that was leaked?

[12:45] <citizen> oh hehe - i don't know - however if you can in the original then i bet you can

[12:46] <citizen> i can ask tho

[12:47] <citizen> just confirmed
[12:47] <iTG`RoME`WTF> do you happen to know also if you can prime the grenades separately from firing a weapon?

[12:50] <iTG`RoME`WTF> were all shitting our pants
[12:50] <citizen> hehehe

OK so I shared this just because the conversation that I had with Doug really put my mind at ease about alot of the things with regards to TF2. Personally I can't wait to play and broadcast this game because I believe it'll be the one that takes CS down.

If he does get in on the playtest You bet your ass I'll be asking him for more reports. Maybe some others in this community will be able to playtest also.

Sign me up.

why do people not saying you but this source feel the need to say how long he's been friends/family employee of valve or how close he lives etc.. what the hell kind of convo is that ?

seems like it's "legit" but I have more fun hoping and wishing getting my spirits up on this game and when information comes straight from a "valve" news update or source I will know it's 100%.

Thanks anyway for posting I don't mind the read and Maybe just maybe its true!

[RoME]

See, that's the awesome part about Doug though. He has no outside interest in Fortress other than what he happened to see while visiting his friend. He didn't volunteer the information to me, I asked him for it.

To me that makes his statements even MORE realiable in my opinion. Couple that with the fact that Doug is a super cool dude and has no reason to try to impress anyone... I think it's legit and I'm more excited than ever.

[12:46] <citizen> i can ask tho
[12:47] <citizen> in the current build - concussion grenade jumping is in yes
[12:47] <citizen> just confirmed

That makes me a little skeptical. How in the world is he supposed to ask someone to find the information out in less than a minute?

what if he's there at the office or something, and the developers are sittign right next to him. HUH? have you thought about that? bet not

[jin]

anyone can come out and say ''i have a reliable source that are long friends of valve'' though. I'll believe more when valve are the ones that release it

[N4P4LM]

i dont know why everyone's so bent out of shape about conc jumping...it's been around since qwtf and none of you have any reason to believe that it wont be in TF2.

[OhGr]

you are right but it's fun to get funny rumors going and have ppl panic and post crazy messages.!!!

( 17:03 ) <citizen> "That makes me a little skeptical. How in the world is he supposed to ask someone to find the information out in less than a minute?"
( 17:03 ) <citizen> haha
( 17:03 ) <citizen> i messaged my friend at valve
( 22:23 ) <iTG`RoME`WTF> i not worried.
( 22:23 ) <iTG`RoME`WTF> those guys are gonna be skeptics
( 22:24 ) <iTG`RoME`WTF> u really put my mind at ease about that shit
( 22:24 ) <iTG`RoME`WTF> cause i know u got no reason to BS

for those of you who aren't trolls :P

Of course we wait until official word, but this for me is as good as official word because I know this guy well.

[donn]

awesome, great news
thx rome!

[SoulCutter]

I don't see why they would take out conc jumping if they're leaving in rocket jumping. Let's just use our brains people.

[Ignatz]

dude says hehe too much

[jin]

dude i know this guy, hes my friend, known him since we were in 1st grade together. He tells me theres going to be bhopping,conc jumping and everything from TFC. His word is as good as confirmation to me i know this guy well.

[wads]

bump for re-reading and taking a ashot everythine he said heehe, thanks for the fuN!

[Janus]

the question shouldn't be conc jumping, but HHing.

[PHISH]

If there's no HH'ing it won't be a big deal. Having to do drop concs and use the terrain of the map is fun as well. If it's completely changed even better- something new to figure out. Everybody did throw behind/drop concs when connections were poorer.

[post-mortem]

its peter in desguise hehe

o btw i just messaged god about this one

[WonderBoy]

[12:49] <iTG`RoME`WTF> the whole fortress community is like rabid dogs right now

True but HH are less predictable and more handy :D
