didnt look, it was on a 24 player well, i dont think this is implicative of anything other than them testing the coordinator to make sure people can connect to the server from the lobby. It only lets 1 person connect at a time.

the win condition was 2 rounds, but that was all I could tell, it also looked like they were using some version/type of sourcemod cause the fonts were a little off.

I wouldn't put any stock in any of this meaning its close yet. I think this is just them forgetting to take down a testing server

EncreSo im guessing mm will be out in a few weeks? Suppose valve wouldn't waste money for servers unless they were going to use them

Want to remind everybody that any timeline guess at this point is 100% speculation - let's not toss around this "few weeks"

SideshowI wonder if now is the best time if they're gonna be directly competing with OW hype though.

Ya but basically nobody is in Overwatch Beta. Could be good for Valve to ride off the OW hype as people play TF2 MM because they can't play overwatch (unless Blizz sends out a ton of invites after Blizzcon).

Let's hope valve think this way! Otherwise this could be just a regular server-test on the valve end.

If it comes out in time it could steal tons of hype from over watch and potentially, hopefully kill the game before it even comes out.

MankyWere there item bans?
Did you get any info?

idk why you'd think valve would ever actively ban the things that people buy and get them money for on their brand new money-making concept

how well does cp_well actually play in 6s? I used to see frag videos in it all the time but I've never actually seen a full math on it

can't compare old times anymore due to unlocks. second was a real big stalemate and last was so difficult to hold/push. I liked it.

oh and driller is dave riller, think he has a responsibility concerning maps. Really nice dude

I mean, the overwatch viewer count on Twitch keeps getting lower and lower, would not be surprised if MM came out before the year ended.

Though, this is all speculation. MM could come out 6 months from now for all we know, and we could be looking back at this moment. Or, it could come out within the month. I mean, Valve has already added a ton of shit related to Match-Making, I'm not sure what else they can add into the game to make it seem any more "closer".

GazManSkirtDude101Kinda wondering why they have a 24 player limit instead of 18 or 12.Spectator slots maybe?

Doubt it. Would make more sense to use SourceTV like the other Valve games with matchmaking

maybe matchmaking is going to be in the end of the year update that valve has been talking about

also, matchmaking isn't really competitive
if it was truely competitive then you would only be allowed to play with a real organized team

it's not supposed to be "truely competitive", it's supposed to be a way to bridge the gap between pubs and competitive more officially, which it will likely do

I wouldn't be too worried about seeing maps like Yukon, Fastlane, etc. CS:GO matchmaking supports all kinds of wacky maps, people skip over them. For example people will learn that Badland and Process are far better maps than well and Fastlane and simply not play those maps.

Says this for MvM Mann Up servers too. Nothing new here.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into cp_well being on that server, they have a good idea of our map pool and there was a strong emphasis on having a good variety of maps (I remember snow viaduct being discussed). Don't forget that we'll see a lot of the same maps we already play; Snakewater, Process, Badlands, Gully comes to mind.

I think flame is right in saying this is not the actual server config (24 slots, etc.), it's just a test server for the lobby and connecting part.

Very cool find.

I thought I'd seen "tobor" somewhere before.

https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Tobor

wiki In communication with Steam matchmaking servers, the Mann vs. Machine mode is called "Tobor".

This seems to confirm that they're using the old MvM matchmaking system as a starting point for the new mm system, and rankings could tie into mm like in CSGO.

EDIT: I'll leave speculation to people who know the game's code better than I.
