OMG! :O

EDIT: Also, knowing VALVe, they should change it to 'Friendship ends in 1 week'.

[source-maps]

new game mode 'mercenaries' and demo / soldier update for sure

[ad_hominem]

We already know it's not a new game mode.

[Chopium]

Maybe match perks for Demo and Soldier so there's a game-mode in a game-mode?

Oh come on. It's going to be a perk for killing people in game who are in your Steam friends list.

Though I do hope it will include something juicy ofc.

[vcool]

If it's just a new achievement for killing a friend, it's pretty lame.

Robin confirmed it has nothing to do with Steam friends.

Ooh, I'm happy to be wrong then!

I really enjoyed the comics I'm glad valve is trying out different forms of storytelling, even if it it just for the lulz of it.

I wonder who did the art for this comic, it's epic looking. Got a good style to it imo.

Yeah, I think so too, and the third page with the pictures of the friendship is just fucking funny.

Perhaps it's the converse of the domination/nemesis effect. You get extra points when you kill some enemy who you haven't interacted with.

Of course, that wouldn't really merit the voice clips, so... Maybe enemies you've been in a lot of games with but haven't killed? That doesn't seem too practical from the standpoint of storing and trackng all the possible matchups.

[Armageddon]

It's gonna be a new class 'mercenaries'.
