Update Speculation thread

one interesting thing with this update i feel like hasnt been brushed on too much is the connections this update brings

a map thats named and made after an actual real world place (unlike WC/ECUSA or italy where the maps are rough iterations)
and a bus that's really similar to an actual real world vehicle (unlike a mixture of cars like how most dev cars are)

 

I am much hyped for le update. Can’t wait to play it. I almost guarantee it’s tomorrow.

 

vs code is not bad. But we java developers have sold our soul to JetBrains. IntelliJ IDEA one love =)

 

I don't like Java but I very much do like PyCharm, heh

 

Just. Sleep. Now.

 

But I haven't had dinner yet

 

That’s fair. In Germany we have 23:48. I was in pub and I’m pissed as promised. So at least 8 hours to go for the update. Where’s my pillow? Good night.

 

It's December 13th already.

wait, didn't i say something like "im calling it it's on tuesday" a while back?
can i have a cookie

 

qa_latest updated again 2 mins ago (doesnt mean much i know)

 

Maybe tomorrow? A tuesday maybe?

 

It's midnight in Germany, jeez, let the devs sleep

 

The update happens in the next 24 hours, probably less. 24 hours is just an easier benchmark

 

Jesus, do you guys ever stop?

 

I know, I'm in the same time zone.

Spoiler

That was kinda the point of this meme.

And to be honest I'm fine with whenever it comes out as long as the devs are content with it. Even if that means late January.
I feel like the chaos here is quite fun on it's own, albeit a little annoying.

 

Called it. You all thought "oMg gUyS uPdAte tOdAy 1o0 pErCenT" With zero evidance. I knew it wasn't coming

 

Yes, having a map be almost 1:1 with a real-world location is very surprising, but a nice surprise.

We've already had quite a few vehicles that are very similar mechanically and stylistically to their IRL counterparts (200BX -> S13, Hopper -> TJ Wrangler, Wigeon -> Bond Bug, just to name a few). However, even those tend to have some differences that make them more "Beam-worthy" (the 200BX's a fastback, not a notchback or a hatchback like the S13; the Hopper's quite a bit smaller than the TJ; and the Wigeon's quite a bit wider, has a longer wheelbase, and uses a smaller engine than the Bond Bug).

That could also be the case with the Bello Bus - it might be mechanically a Pinzgauer, and it's got quite a few design influences from that German Austrian off-roader, but it's likely going to be different dimensionally or use some different engines from the Pinz, like how the Wigeon uses an L3 in place of the Bond Bug's L4.

 

I mean to be fair I think they meant to release it today. They more than likely came across a bug last second that was big enough to set it back a day.

 

Pretty sure it was meant to come today, but wasn’t until today they realised it wasn’t quite ready?

 

Tbh I’m wondering if it could be possible that the autobello bus wouldn’t have a Soviet rebadging since it made me think of Kamaz/ UAZ utilitary vehicles when i first saw it. Also, it would make sense since fiat which is kinda the brand from which autobello takes its roots from gave the Fiat 124 to USSR for production with improved suspension and the rest was history. So, maybe there is a soviet rebadge of that bus that could’ve been produced well into the 2000’s
