Spy is still useful. He could still cloak and backstab big bots.

Seems like I'll be playing the new mode alone. I hope to god there are medkits and ammo.

If the spy had to employ the sapper instead of the backstab for robots, and they could only be sapped from behind, that'd make sense/maintain balance. Also, everyone knows all robots have an "off"-button/soft-spot/access-hatch/I'm-sure-there's-a-trope-page-for-this between their shoulderblades where they can't reach it.

   No your thinking of the Evil/Good switch, either that or the toggle which decides if they rebel against humans and kill them all.

Oh hey, slightly offtopic, but as fans of Valve, I thought you might like to know there's another awesome release in the near future.

My brain is unsure over how it is supposed to react to this revelation. It is battling between collapsing is muscle spasms and transforming into a brainless zombie.

Wait a second: if the machines are robots, shouldn't the spy be able to use sappers on them? Or would they only be calibrated for engineers' buildings?

I'd like to see what the downgrade sapper would do to them.  An animation sequence for that would probably look pretty cool if they decided to go that route.

The Half life 3 things is claimed to be a mistake( a joke probably) and Valve has stated that they are not going to reveal any new games this year, I believe.

Also, Valve would never reveal HL3 that way.

Says the 15th on the website, but you need to be suspicious over companies in the US regarding dates in Europe.
Basically 2 days from now.

About the same document comes a huge grain of salt:

This is simply marketing and guessing.

And yeah, in Europe MvM will probably come at like 3 am on the 16th.

 The sapper question bores me, the only thing that can pique my interest is the implications of robots counting as structures and the Homewrecker bonus damage.

TF2 storywriting. Because a game that needs no story should have the best one.  ???

The new mode sounds more like Killing Floor than L4D. I'm looking forward to it.
Indeed. Valve can't count to three, but they can tell a fucking story.
The world's greatest war-themed hat simulator will face its' greatest threat this far.
Valve, you MAGNIFICENT bastards. Only you can somehow connect everything in every way possible. In a game. That doesn't really need a story in the first place. G-man? G-mann.
