He's not Blank <:o)

Your assessment is correct for each individual position, but I think in order for the HL meta to advance a more efficient method of main calling is required. As it stands now a full team is pretty slow at pushing, and the lesson from 6s is that faster is usually better. The quicker you can take and hold ground in between control points the better, ideally with as few enemy picks as possible.

The team that figures out how to do all that and somehow keep comms efficient will probably dominate for a couple of seasons until everybody else catches up.

If you want an honest assessment:

At the moment, Highlander is organized chaos. If my understanding of TF2 competitive history is correct, 9v9 was tested as a potential comp mode during the Beta. But it was scrapped in favor of refining the game's pacing, ultimately producing the modern 6v6 meta.

This I think stunted meta development in HL, combined with prize money going into 6s and the ever expanding armory of unlocks there is no real refinement.

Additionally, most leaders can only track up to about three separate things at once. This is no problem in 6v6 because you can track yourself, the combo and the flank with ease. But in HL there can be anywhere from four to seven different elements to keep track of at once, it's impossible for one person to do.

Some people take the internet waaay too seriously...

Why John... why?

That... Is ugly...

This is actually a pretty good step by YouTube, even if commenters will poke fun at using one of these tracks in a video it pretty much assures that the video won't get nailed later for using a song that gets moved into copyright-infringement territory.

Saves on paperwork for video uploads too.

EDIT: Damnit r4pture is a ninja..

Couldn't that fit into the announcement? Each console made could have it's own controller made for it.

So basically:

Aaand, it's a box.

Place your bets ladies, gentlemen and offclassers. What will it be? A box? A Sequel?

EarthBound on the SNES, if you either haven't played it on the Wii or want to see it before all the fun nerfs.

Some Super Mario World romhacks are good for some hilarious platforming hijinks.

They wouldn't be that big of a jerk, this is basically how they announced most major TF2 updates. So leaving Day 3 hanging would be rather rude.

Enterprise finale was a train wreck. >_>

You probably have a controller plugged in that's giving input to the game.

I dunno, maybe people are trying to psyche out him and his team. If they're as good as they say there's no reason they can't 16-0 the regular season and go undefeated in the playoffs. That'll probably be the only way Killing and Kalkin can get the "Except in Rare Circumstances" rule in their toolbox.
