At Jango's suggestion I have created a TF2 thread for all future TF2 matters to be posted in.
Solider won, he got some gun powered boots that greatly reduce damage from rocket jumping, (http://www.teamfortress.com/war/victory/) which makes sense as the Demoman can sticky jump so I can see why it was considered for both classes. They take up the secondary weapon though.
Also some new maps. (http://www.teamfortress.com/war/maps/)
This update also nerfed the fuck out of The Sandman again, now it only stuns if it hits at maximum range, so yeah have fun with that.
Thank God. Sandman is annoying as hell.
Most of the servers I used to play on have fucking died though.
I got the Eyelander and Chargin Targe and they are amazing
better than those shove-it-up-yo-own-ass boots 8)
Well I suppose it would have been useful for flying drunks but besides that...
Oh and new domination quotes:
"It's on like zzzzzz...."
Demoman sounds different :(
They pulled a Pokémon on us. What next, the Administrator having a DEXter voice?
Oh well, while I'm here I might as well document what I'm unofficially calling The Adventures of J/K (Jango and K.O.D.), which will chronicle our TF2 adventures where we annoy the fuck out of unsuspecting TF2 players.
Day One: Wednesday (12/16/09)
Arena: CP_Egypt
Me and my team fucking sucked while KOD's team kept killing us. I publically bashed my own teammates and KOD said that we lack teamwork. I said he was gay. This was resolved later on when the teams were autobalanced and he and I were on the RED Team together defending the points. We both turned into Engineers, camped on the last checkpoint, and both built Lv.3 Sentries right next to Lv.3 Dispensers. We were pretty much invincible and naturally pissed off the BLU team. This was also the time that I shot a Scout in the crotch.
Day Two: Thursday (12/17/09)
Arena: Sniperfield
KOD and I showed up on a map that was entirely dedicated to Snipers having Sniper fights. There were two per team, with me and KOD on one side, and two other douchebags on the other. At first we played fair and both played Snipers with them. Then I turned into a Spy and backstabbed a really easy to get Sniper. After a while he caught on and when he tried to fight me, he walked right into KOD's line of fire. Naturally he bitched about me using a Spy in a Sniper server, to which others (who later joined our team) responded by turning into Demomen, Pyros and Engineers. The last straw came when KOD switched to the other team and became a Heavy. The poor Sniper ended up ragequitting because he wanted "real Sniper fights.
Bilbo Babbins
Tell them to play MGS3 and just keep replaying The End fight.
More TM members joining. It's like Trinity Fortress 2! :o
Day Three (December 19)
KOD and I joined a server devoted to getting achievements for the Scout, played as Pyros, and set fire to everyone as soon as they respawned. Actually got a lot of Pyro Achievements!
I want that server.
anjel, the_none, vans
buy it, you know you want to
kitchen chair
I'm going to buy it, just... wait for it.
Just so you know there's an E-Tank Bonk mod. (http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2009/12/meet-e-tank.html)
You know since there are Resident Evil and Mario themed energy drinks shouldn't there be Bonk ones also
I actually have one of those Mario drinks, starting tomorrow I'll actually have had it for a year as it was a Festivus gift and I hate energy drinks.
That aside I think the guy was referencing the games more than the Energy Drink, that and from I understand the actual E-Tank energy drink tastes awful.
I'd totally try Bonk if Valve managed to make a deal.
I actually like the taste of energy drinks.
will it make me run fast and be invincible for a short period of time??
i'd be un-freakin-touchable
No it'll just give you gas.
So the only class left to update is the Engineer
somehow I have a feeling we'll be seeing walking sentries
If I recall on a secret page for one of the earlier updates there was a blueprint for a blimp or something, maybe blimp sentries.
metool sentries
We were all wrong, clearly the Engineer will get toast sentries.
That video was awesome.
It was awesome indeed.
Fell for the oldest trick in the book :(
(http://jango.piiym-net.com/ihaveturretsyndrome.png)
These things happen.
YEAH TOAST
fucking awesome
Last night I was playing on 2fort (lol) and I set up a sentry in the intel room right on top of the intelligence. I killed like 5 people before the enemy finally caught on and tried different stuff. They organized a triple Spy maneuver which was pretty creative I'll admit (one spy sapped my sentry while the others were cloaked, one which backstabbed me when I killed the sapping spy, and the other which took the intelligence). The sentry went down but the backstabbing spy stayed behind disguised as moi, so I shotgunned him when I walked in the room. The plan finally fell apart when they sent a demoman and blew everything up. :(
Also EVERYONE ONE OF YOU DESERVES A TACK
In what might be old news, it appears that Source Filmmaker (the software used to make the "Meet the..." videos) was leaked (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wt3nCYVQIA).

If you can get that reaction from him I'm gonna half to pass Jango.
That wasn't as bad as I previously pegged it, but it was still pretty weird.
i guess god works for valve because i went to church today and when i got home i played tf2 and unlocked bonk and jarate
Just don't mix the two up.
jango is christian
plot twist
YAY got the Chargin' Targe following a death stealing the intel three times (pretty much untouchable as a Scout with Bonk+Force-A-Nature)
Gentlemen.
A moment of silence please.

Now I have a new motivation to continue my quest in unlocking the Eyelander.
EDIT: So yeah right now with the mods, I have Scout as Megaman and Demoman as Link (although I'm debating whether I should replace the scrumpy with the Lon Lon Milk skin).
EDIT2: OF COURSE SOMEONE HAD TO MAKE A FAGGOT MOD FOR IT THAT WOULD MAKE ME PUKE (http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3531/80416b.jpg) (although the Goofy Shield would be badass)
i just want my alucard sword and shield already
You can't replace the scrumpy the Demoman needs to be drunk at all times.
The milk is extra "spicy".
I don't get the giant key thing though.

Ok that just made me laugh so hard I got soda up my nose.
I hope you're happy.
vote for Spy (http://www.gamefaqs.com/)
But he was never really on your side.
I just realized it would be totally awesome if they flipped the votes around and Master Chief turned out to be the Spy and the Spy was just one of his fake dead bodies.
YES I UNLOCKED THE EYELANDER LAST NIGHT. So many good memories.
1) I destroyed like 13 engineer buildings undisguised simply by uncloaking for a split second, going into my knife taunt, then recloaking. Because I kept destroying their sentries this way, almost half the team went Engie and camped in the intel room.
2) This led to me and half of our team going Spy and continuously sapping their sentries.
3) This led to this one guy who got so pissed off he challenged me to an IRL fight and told me to come to New Jersey so we could finish it once and for all. He eventually rage-quitted.
4) A pyro dominated me at one point while I was playing Spy, and then I switched to Demoman and got revenge by beheading him with the Eyelander.
Eww don't got to Jersey.
Did you go Byakko and actually take the challenge?
I took him up on his challenge, but he refused to give me his address.
I was lying about buying those TF2 shirts, I have some bad news for you. (http://jango.piiym-net.com/IMG_0748.jpg)
Yes I was doing laundry.
Well you should always wash your new clothes before you wear them anyways.

You do realize you have to make a Scout sound pack now right?
Prior to his second major update, he had a Scout soundpack planned for release (as well as a Manny Calavera one), but then after the Scout soundpack for Haruhi got released, I canceled it.
Maybe I'll pick it up again.
Manny Calavera still would've been interesting to see...
also, the hitsound for that should at least be Scout's BONK, along with the baseball bat hit.
Right now it does the can open sound when thrown, and does the baseball bat hit sound when it hits. Debating about putting in the Scout saying "BONK" since it would be out of place without Ren doing Scout voices.

That's why you have to buy in bulk and get the free shipping. It takes longer, but it's better in the long run.
Go for Sniper and Soldier if you go that route. A lot of people who don't like TF2 like the Sniper shirt.

the unlocks are tied to your account, not installation.

k good. At least the only thing I have to worry about is reinstalling the E-Tank mod for the Scout (and possibly the Daft Punk helmet replacement for Ghastly Gibus)
Actually you MIGHT have to redownload those
The official weapons are tied to your account, not custom made shit like maps, skins, etc

That was the most beautiful thing I've seen :clpeng:
I knew a guy in college that griefed once had the entire team go Spy and cloak at the start to confuse the other team at their being nobody, then all try to simultaneously backstab everyone on the other team.
They lost and missed a few guys but it was still funny.
www.tf2items.com <--- This site is awesome. Going to test out the item trading feature when I get home.
Me testing out the Great Class Dash mod. Watch it on Youtube, it's in HD and shit.
Huh, a Scout platformer? Is there more than that?
I think there were three levels all together with some of them requiring you to change class for certain parts.
Yeah I'm on level two right now (Egypt, lol), and you have to switch between Scout, Heavy, and Sniper on the fly. Because only the Scout can double jump, only the Heavy can knock down brick walls, and only the Sniper can... scare rattlesnakes... yeah I dunno about that last one.
Eh snipings a good job mate cause long as there's a person and a rattlesnake left somebody's gonna want that rattlesnake dead.

EDIT: The pistol is for the scout, and it's a modified SMG. The police gun is for the Spy and... well I haven't tried it yet.
OMG SAM & MAX ITEMS

holy shit, that's tempting me to wait til I make another Reclaimed metal before I craft for a hat.
this (http://www.tf2items.com/crafting/blueprints.php) might come in handy if you want to make a class-specific hat
See that's the hard part. Just getting a hat would be cool (and I could get one as soon as I get home), but there are several (http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/Pyro%27s_beanie) hats (http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/Engineer%27s_cap) I (http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/Magistrate%27s_mullet) don't (http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/Respectless_rubber_glove) want (http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/Texas_ten_gallon).
So roughly a 14% chance I get a shitty hat. Or I can spend another week or so trying to get items so I can make another reclaimed metal for a class that I know has the hats I want (ie: Demoman or Sniper).
hey shut up Texas Ten Gallon rules
Even if you're correct, that's still a 9% chance of getting a shit hat
On a related note they've changed the way drops work. (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3727&p=1)
So I got impatient and went with the random hat craft.

Got the viking helmet for the soldier. Debating whether I should keep it, or combine it with Pyro's firehat to make something actually worthwhile.
There are better hats for both so I'd suggest trying for something better.
Wait, once you combine items, that's it? They're gone for good?
Not gone for good. You can still reacquire an item through a random drop.
If they didn't Jesus there would be nothing stopping you from using the same items over and over silly.

This is the second best birthday present ever.
I find that a bit strange myself... Though I just woke up, read the comic, don't really get why they made it. But it's interesting nonetheless. guns.

This is probably old but I've been out all day, the Golden Wrench. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5578560/team-fortress-2s-engineer-goes-golden-may-build-not+dyin-machine)
Cool, I didn't see that video. Why didn't he build anything though?
Jesus, that has to be the most powerful melee weapon unless I've missed something.
The Golden Wrench, aside from turning killed enemies into gold statues, is merely a wrench reskin.
The engineer update. (http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4026&p=1) It'll go live Thursday.
The golden wrench is got through crafting but there will only be 100 given total, period. (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/wrenchlog/) You best haul ass if you want it 28 are already gone!
A new Shotgun replacement called "Frontier Justice" (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/) 50% clip compared to the regular and it doesn't get normal crits... instead it gets crits whenever his sentry kills someone or gets destroyed (including self destructs).
Great, even more encouragement for Engineers to tank their sentries.
Second item revealed: The Wrangler, which lets you remote-control your sentry, lets it take more damage, AND increases firing rate at the cost of your pistol, and the fact that it's useless for three seconds if you swap weapons.
Yeah, no.
Yeah I expect that to get some heavy nerfs later on like the Sandman did.
They also announced a new payload map called Upward.
In order to encourage people to try and go for the Golden Wrenches more, this week and this week only the item drop rates have been increased.
Engineer achievements, multiple ones featuring guitars, (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/achievements/) so people have been speculating that's the melee replacement.
How Engineers are supposed to repair buildings though...
here's how the wrangler will go
1. everyone complains about it
2. valve nerfs it
3. it becomes useless
4. everyone still complains about it
Death Metal. :mrox:

Actually his Steam page says he got hacked and Valve gave him back the Wrench.
The Owner of Wrench 58 had his taken away and was VAC banned for cheating somehow.
Hightower a new Payload map... and that's about it. (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/)
At the bottom of the page... is that a sneak peek at yet another wrench replacement?!
Oh hey probably is given the golden one is just a skin and all. Didn't see that. The update page states that isn't the only melee replacement he's getting too, hmm. Well that one on the bottom looks like a community made one so it's probably just a few simple stat changes.
On another note (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/engineer_photos/) on a hidden page Valve hints and something that could be truly disturbing. The ability to move sentries.
oh god.
Engineers dad loves the power glove it's so bad? (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/images/100_radigan.jpg)
Yet another new payload map Thunder Mountain (http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/) which at the present I doubt anyone cares about it because of the much bigger news!
New pistol Wrench (previous pistol claim a typo on Valve's part) replacement the Gunslinger* which is the aforementioned mechanized hand thing, it gives Engineer +25 health, a three hit punch combo for melee (which always crits on the third hit) but can not use Normal Sentries while using it. Don't know whether you can upgrade other things though, it'd be kind of weird punching a dispenser you know.
Instead can place mini-Sentries (think Level 0.5) which build at quadruple speed, have full health and are cheap to build. Deals half normal damage and cannot be upgraded.
Overall good for more offensive Engineers I guess but I don't see it catching on.
Watchmaker's Wrench, the Southern Hospitality, inflicts the same bleeding condition as the Snipers shiv. But cannot crit.
As with any updates some nerfs,
Sandvich works on a cooldown timer now (although that's probably better).
Sniper's Shiv's damage and bleed out time reduced.
Gunboats reduce damage by rocket jumping by less.
Oh one last thing, Engineers CAN move buildings now regardless what they are using.
*On an incredibly tangentially related note. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYnbi6vs0mw)
Obligatory new domination lines video.
Wait what happened to his voice?
Same thing happened to Spy's, and Sniper's. Might've been a change in recording equipment.

Yes, you can. It's pretty bad-ass.
Yeah I unlocked Frontier Justice, Gunslinger, and Southern Hospitality, just need to get the cheapo radar gun. Also building moving isn't as cheap as it looks. Especially with sentries because they have to reupgrade themselves, so if you have a level 3 sentry, it's vulnerable for a good 5 seconds.
Not to mention you're pretty damn slow while moving them
I LOVE THE NEW MINISENTRIES (Gunslinger)
Awesome hit and run tactics and traps with engie now possible, and annoys the shit out of the opponent.
Frontier Justice is too situational, rather not use it.
Still haven't unlocked the Wrangler yet.
Mini-Sentry + Wrangler = Fun times.
Wrangler works by pointing at what you want to shoot by the way, no Sentry Cam or anything.
I only got the final frontier so far. It's meh.
Haven't gotten the Wrangler yet. One achievement away...
EDIT: Just got it. More useful than I thought it'd be.
Last night I was trolling some servers since everyone was trying to go engineer. I went Sniper and headshot the Engineers with the Wranglers, then shot their buildings while they waited to respawn. Also Thunder Mountain is awesome for Sniper traps, and one particular corner in the second map could possibly lead to the Heavy being unstoppable since the ammo/medpacks regenerate quite frequently. I racked up 8 kills by myself there before they took me out with an Ubered Demoman.
spamming mini sentries is awesome
haven't gotten the wrangler yet, but I WILL
Well it's always sort of a good time for certain classes after class updates.
Holy shit, that is fucking awesome.
The spy one should have been Smooth Criminal though.
If I recall, a professional animator made those.
some more new shit coming your way (http://www.polycount.com/2010/07/15/the-team-fortress-2-polycount-pack-winners)
also Pope over at YouChew forums is raging over
[spoiler]the Scout getting a fish melee weapon instead of a scattergun made of bicycle parts
[/spoiler]
Seems good, poor Medic needs some more attention though in the future.
Finally got the Wrangler, it's awesome :D
Can't wait for polycount pack.
Mini Sentry + Wrangler = Ultimate annoyance weapon,
Too awesome, annoyed opposing team by constantly using it. 8)
Can't go back to using normal sentries now, they feel so slow and cumbersome.
Valve's official winners announcement. (http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4076&p=1) They've seem to accept that whatever they'll do will be bitched about for being game breaking and they'll have to fix it later.
While not on that post Valve apparently is considering some of the non-winning entrants for future updates, at least the Polycount site said so.
By the way, a map contest. (http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4083&p=1)
That looks delicious.
Speaking of delicious, I just found out that "Saxton Hale" is an anagaram for "Hot Anal Sex"
Still no Polycount update, but they added a new hat for Alien Swarm.
UPDATE: Alien Swarm hat + Solider Shovel taunt = hilarity
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3720/samanddispenser.png)
Given TF2 is set in the 60s the Dispenser should consider joining the C.O.P.S..
LOL
Needs a mask of some sort. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5594177/dont-we-all)
Or he needs to redo the outfit starting with THE FUCKING COLORS.
Still pretty neat tho, and makes me wish I went to Comic Con this year.
http://www.toptiertactics.com/golden-charity/
A charity drive devoted to the destruction of the Golden Wrenches. I'm seriously going to donate since Child's Play roxors, and also because I want some revenge for sacrificing my Camera Beard in an attempt to get one.
Man I wish I was recording tonight. I was playing Thunder Mountain and I was going Spy. I accidentally bumped into an enemy medic so I was thinking "shit I'm screwed." It turned out he was a griefer and he was healing me while I ran around backstabbing all of his teammates.
LOL
Posting a day late but Valve gave some props to the golden wrench charity. (http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4151&p=1)
They managed to make as few jokes as possible in that post! :o
Those Polycount items that were supposed to come out last month will come out next month. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5610447/team-fortress-2-updates-soldier-on-with-new-modes-new-weapons-next-month) Valve Time etc etc. Also will be launching with a new unspecified game mode and item trading.

This made me realize how WTF some the tracks in that map are. Sad thing is, it's one of my current favorite maps.
The Demoman laid the tracks out obviously.
... I need to play that map.

Civilian what
It's a remnant of an unused class. (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Civilian) Back in the older Team Fortress there was a mode where one team had to protect a character using a Civilian class, with like 50 hp. At one point Valve planned it for it TF2 but abandoned it. That said there was still some base data of it left that can be accessed through glitches using other classes models.
tl;dr: It's like Missingno.
Double posting for more videos of that guy but from a different perspective:
http://www.teamfortr...php?id=4245&p=1
Hat defining contest, Worms items, and some Highlander stuff
not much I care about but ok
Damn it TR you suck at linking things! Try this. (http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4245&p=1)
The Holy Hand Grenade makes it all worth it.
Doublepost because it's unfortunately bundled up with the Worms hat. Would've looked awesome with the viking helmet.
Needs concrete donkey.
Yay, it got updated so that it plays the "Hallelujah" clip when you kamikaze
hey guys i just got an idea for this game
if there was an actual civilian class, and a proper hunted gamemode, the civilian should have the voice and personality of MR. DIRECTOR (specifically his "jerry lewis" form)
just imagine the possibilities:
"START WITH THE HEALING YES"
"DON'T WITH THE SHOOTING"
"NICE ENGINEER MAKE WITH A DISPENSER YES"
I couldn't believe they actually had a reskin for it.
(http://jango.piiym-net.com/fuckingchristmas.png)
holy shit a gmod video that actually made me laugh
Heavytrio would have Sasha and Natasha for his other heads.
That was awesome, but I clicked on the vid it was advertising and I was disappointed that
1) They didn't use Scout's Mother for the woman
2) We didn't get to watch a lovemaking scene while the Pyro was spy-checking around them.
I didn't care about that, was just posting the video advertising it.
yeah I know
Valve needs to tweak that and make it an official gameplay mode.
Indeed.
Quote from: UHMEEEEBA on September 23, 2010, 09:54:31 AM
Valve needs to tweak that and make it an official gameplay mode.
My sentiments exactly.
So I got the Prussian whatever hat for the Medic and hated it, so I merged it with my Soldier's Pot hat (which I also disliked and have no need for since I have the worms hat) and got... Texas Slim's Dome Shine...
Then it was like Valve was apologizing for that hat because like right after I died I got the Troublemaker's Tossle Cap! Now I just need to learn how to play the Scout better.
I still don't understand how crafting two hats leads to the absence of a hat.
Me neither. Granted I understand granting the Bonk Helmet since you have to craft a batter's helmet and two bonks for it, but that's the only hat-related craft I get.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to smelt my ninja throwing knives my friend gave me so I can make a sombrero out of it.
Well I have less problems with it from having played old Adventure Games where you did nonsensical stuff like that... but you didn't do it for nothing.
Item trading can't come soon enough.
Whatever happened to those sets of items with the fish and what not?
Valve time. Always Valve time.
That's why we're probably not gonna hear a thing about Episode 3 until 2012, either. Just... "Valve Time".
But they didn't even have to create any models this time, hell that was kind of the point.
Never trust anything a Valve dev says when it comes to scheduling. They can and mostly will find some reason to delay.
Well for the Spy, they have to figure out how to balance the melee weapon since YOU REALLY CAN'T IMPROVE ON AN INSTANT KILL VIA BACKSTAB.
Ditto for Darwin's Danger Shield, which is a reskin of a one-use item with a very limited purpose.
So this happened. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5650597/dance-fortress-2-everybody-dance-now)
:')
That was beautiful

UPDATES OUT GOGOGO
dont bother trying to play for the next 24 hours, the steam servers are getting bombed because of the updates
That Sniper rifle is gross if you stop and thing about it, it inflicts Jarate effect but with tranq darts, therefore the Sniper is injecting people full of Jarate. Gross.
Does the Scout's fish even do anything?
Also the store thing seems iffy to me, sure now it's just an alternative to getting drops really quickly but I could see Valve going to the dark side quickly.
no the scout's fish doesn't do anything special
They said though everything game changing is craftable/dropable so the only thing I can imagine being bought from their is certain hats people like and don't want to wait a unknown amount of time getting the ingredients to craft it or drop on it's own.
all these updates would be nice if i actually played enough to get any other damn items
TF2 has way too much shit now.
holy shit. hats are nearly 20 bucks. thats much steeper then I initially thought...
they also have large packs so you can buy them in lumps, but they stay untradeable/craftable.
Holy shit that's too much for such a cosmetic change.
Indeed, no hat-buying for me, especially since most of the hats really don't do it for me. Although I have to admit it's a nice way of Valve supporting the people that designed the new items.
On a side note... I got a Cheater's Lament out of the blue ???
Lucky you. I was actually using my old account when they gave out the Cheaters Lament and never got it. Is it tradeable?
Nope, it has the "Not Tradeable" tag, although it's an event item so I guess that's to be expected.
Also upon further inspection, the older hats run cheaper with $2.49 being the minimum (which nets you Camera Beard, the bald heads, some of the smaller designs), more ballpark is $7.49. If I knew my Soldier's Stainless Steel Pot was worth as much as it is, I wouldn't have crafted it!
EDIT: Everything in your backpack prior to this update that isn't a promo now has "Vintage" before its name. "Vintage Homewrecker" in particularly seems very hilarious to me.
EDIT2: So apparently they're experiencing so much purchasing that I have to WAIT.
EDIT3: Was able to sneak in and get the Spy's new gun, but that's about it.
Well fuck. Maybe I'll get lucky and have one magically appear for me as well. :sho:
I'm on the fence for a couple of hats, but it's just the characters I have nothing for. Just to fuck with me I'm sure whatever I buy will drop in the first game I jump into.
EDIT: I WANT A MANN-CO HAT SO BUYING SOMETHING ANYWAYS LOL
Posting to say L'etranger + C&D = awesome
EDIT: IMO Eternal Reward is practically useless with the Dead Ringer since you cannot disguise AT ALL outside of taking the appearance of someone you just killed.
It sadly also seems to have a bug where the knife won't even swing half the time.
Wait a second... Mann-co.... Manko.
Did Valve just make a dirty joke that most people will miss?
Nope, you're just reading too much into it.
And don't educate me with what you mean, I don't care.
... This already happened.
Really? Well I can't remember everything you know.
No it's just that I was in IRC, I said "SHUT UP," quit, and you said that in a post. This exact same thing happened before, but I digress...
Apparently stuff like Cheater's Lament and Bill's hat are dropping like normal stuff. I really hope I get Bill's hat before its fixed. :(
I suspect they'll be taken away after it's fixed though...
Crafted Shortstop, Mad Milk, The Eternal Reward and the Sydney Sleeper.
Best weapon in the update is the Scout's Shortstop. It's fucking AWESOME and goes well along with the Mad Milk, making Scout one of my main classes now.
Although I suspect they'll nerf it soon, it has no disadvantages and there's no reason to use the other shotguns :P
Spy's new knife is pretty cool for chainstabbing, no disguising is a disadvantage against sentries though.
Sydney Sleeper is great, jarate's opponent and you can now use your SMG when the opponent is jarate'd for a good amount of damage.
Haven't got the other unlocks yet, although from what I've seen the Pyro's new shit makes him really powerful and the Black Box is a cool addition to the Soldier.
Trading is great, did a few trades with a bunch of guys when I needed shit.
TF2 is now even more fun than before. :D
Black Box is alright, and the rockets travel pretty fast too.
Quote from: K.O.D on October 01, 2010, 04:17:52 AMSpy's new knife is pretty cool for chainstabbing, no disguising is a disadvantage against sentries though.
WELL what you can do is kill someone, then run to the sentry nest and backstab the Engineer before you sap his shit, because the sentries won't pick up on you during the time delay.
Also just read the new description for the Troublemaker's Tossle Cap:
TEENAGE MUTANT Straight Outta Control Point
TURTLES
fucking valve is trolling me i swear
they gave me a mann-co supply crate to which i have to buy the key for, and fucking hell i'm not paying any more for tf2 than i already have i'm broke enough as it is
black box is a straight downgrade as a pocket soldier, has a little potential for roaming soldiers
the shortstop's spread and quick reload make it really fucking good, although the slowdown effect is barely noticable at all (and afaik it uses pistol bullets [citation needed])
sydney sleeper... eh, haven't used it enough to know how everything works and how good it is
your eternal reward is trash and only good for fucking around
degreaser is amazing with axtinguisher
powerjack... eh, i love the axtinguisher too much to use it seriously
mad milk is okay, haven't really used it much yet
bushwacka is a straight upgrade from both of the snipers other melee weapons imo
I thought keys can drop too?
apparently they cant
my backpack (http://"http://www.tf2items.com/")
i'm willing to trade anything sans the soldier and sniper hats, and the equipped items
i know it isn't much but i thought i would post it anyway so ok

So finally had a chance to look at the undocumented changes (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/September_30,_2010_Patch), and the ones of interest, in case you weren't checking:
QuoteRemoved the cooldown timer from the Sandvich and the Dalokohs Bar when eating.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND, VALVE
QuoteFixed taunt glitch involving switching weapons quickly.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
QuoteAdded new currently unused "Hi-five" taunts for Demoman, Heavy, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Sniper, Soldier and Spy.
... what?
QuoteScottish Resistance now fires 25% faster and has a .2 second longer bomb arm time. (Total bomb arm time is now .8 seconds.)
Works.
QuotePyro's Airblast pushes grounded stickies approximately twice the distance now.
Great, just what we need, more pyro buffs.
QuoteThe Frontier Justice now works correctly with critical boosts.
Yay.
Poor Engineer, no high fives for him. Well to be fair though having a mechanical hand sort of lends itself to that.
QuoteAdded new currently unused "Hi-five" taunts for Demoman, Heavy, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Sniper, Soldier and Spy.
This sounds pretty awesome. I wonder how it looks in action.
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2enyn11.jpg)

Awesome. Can't wait to use my skillet and Ellis hat!
My fellow chaps of good breeding and social stature...
anyone got some jarate they can spare
nvm, got some last night
Just posting to say now that I've gotten the hang of it, YER is my new weapon of choice, although Valve needs to fucking fix the bugs already (name announcing aside, the missing anims make me sad).
Doubleposting to say crafting recipes are up for the Polycount hats. Basically, four refined metals + one weapon from the corresponding pack to make the hat for it.
Have fun idling you cheaters.
Why have they stopped making "Meet the" videos?
Remember that the next one has to top Meet The Spy. The Pyro can't talk clearly, and the Medic is fucking boring.
On a sidenote, for MSPA fans, I'm late reporting this, but WRINKLEFUCKER
http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/98646
EDIT: Whether or not you can actually get this to work is another story. Even an sv_pure=0 server that I'm running won't show it.
They've been having problems getting the Medics voice actor to come back as he's always busy with other projects.
Note how the other voice actors' credits involve Star Fox (both Engineer and Soldier), Zobilee Zoo (Heavy and Demoman, lol same guy), and Spy Fox (Sniper).
I guess your career really IS in shambles if you're a furry!
That's even weirder when you consider Engineer and Solider voiced the same character.
If they ever actually do Meet the Pyro they should just subtitle it.
Really though they should make the Saxton Hale mod official and make a meet video of him just wrecking shit up for 10 minutes.

That and unlike the rest of the cast, the Medic is quite a popular actor.

for those who haven't seen it yet
Halloween update. (http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/) Has a boss character so maybe that Saxton Hale mod will come true some day.
Why the fuck would they do this before Saxton Hale?!
Because they probably only got the idea recently and thought they should do something for Halloween first?
Hell yeah Saxton Hale mask.
So I was attempting to get achievements related to the HHH, and this one guy on the server played a random song every time we fought it. Most of the time it went along, but then he played this little number (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBIAkvl8zy4) and a whole bunch of people rage-quitted after it.

Anyone know of other awesome mods?

I'll have to check out the server list for the Hunted then and I liked the old zombie mod from before, I remember being pretty good then. Thanks.

also THEY'RE NERFING NATASCHA
FUCKING FINALLY
Wasn't Natascha already useless to begin with?
Some people claim it can broken in certain circumstances.
QuotePlayers being healed by a medic are immune to movement-impairing effects generated by hit-scan weapons.
I'm guessing they might be talking about the Huntsman and Sandman? I thought they got rid of stunning for the Sandman or are these another set of weapons entirely?
Natascha and Shortstop, Huntsman and Sandman are not hitscan weapons.

Natascha is fucking brutal if you use it to focus on one enemy rather than take out a whole group (although it's entirely possible to do that). Basically as soon as you decide to follow one guy, they're fucked.
Quote from: K.O.D on December 03, 2010, 04:55:34 AM
Natascha and Shortstop, Huntsman and Sandman are not hitscan weapons.
Damn how could I forget Natascha's ability slow down players. Never used the Shortstop before. I really have no clue why I considered Huntsman as a hitscan weapon, might of been due to it sticking opponents to walls/whatevers near after being killed. Thanks for clearing that up nonetheless.
Natascha is ridiculous. I had to play against a Natascha user on several occasions, and not only did he get on the top of the scoreboard just by shooting, but our team got our asses raped.
It's the only TF2 weapon that I truly cannot stand.
As an occasional heavy myself, I agree that the Nastascha is a bit too useful as it is in the public game.
The public game?
Dude, I'm on a private server all the time, and it's just as annoying there.
LOADS OF MONEH (http://www.killingfloorthegame.com/xmas)
I've been putting off buying that game. Is it any good?
Killing Floor is awesome, buy it.
Already got it since ages ago so I'm all set for the new content!
I've played it quite a few times on my friends account and it's incredibly enjoyable. Take the good of L4D and throw in tons of other great aspects such as more weapons, maps, and enemy variety.
Yeah, Killing Floor stomps ass. Shame barely any of my friends play it anymore. We had a server at one point, too. Good times.

lol KOD parried my frying pan with his face
Natascha is pretty broken in arena mode, but yeah.
Attendant set is the shit, not sure if it's a placebo but I've been doing alot better with it vs degreaser + axtinguisher. Not sure why, though.

SCORE 1 FOR ME AND THERIO.
I TOLD YOU THIS STUPID SHIT RUINED TF2, AND NOW IT'S BROKEN IT.
It's a shame Valve is a company that never goes back and fixes things then.
what's really ruined tf2 is how people say it's been ruined and yet they still keep playing it thus ruining the fun for people who actually have fun with the game
yeah i said it
It'll get fixed soon I'm sure. I don't remember playing that much on cp_steel or any of the other 3 mentioned.

Then you're complaining about something you haven't even tried yet. This is not surprising.
I saw that coming which is why I am prepared to say, "because it became more about collecting a shitload of hats and items which everyone else but me has and they love using them while I still have the stock weapons."
Same problem as a year ago.
You're just mad because if I play you I'll clobber you to death with my Frying Pan

So when do other clothes like shirts, suits, pants and other apparel become interchangeable? You know Valve has to of considered it at one point, especially with how popular they are.
Apparently they fixed the server bug. How, I don't know.
http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4850&p=1

Oh yay more crosspromotional tie-ins boy I can't wait to WAIT A SECOND
QuoteThe Sharpened Volcano Fragment and the Sun-on-a-Stick will be obtainable through crafting after the Rift pre-order period ends.
So then there's really no point to pre-ordering the game then?
It's for people who want it EARLY. So they can have all the best toys before everyone else.
Knowing Valve's track record they're just gonna be reskins so there's really no point. It kinda made sense with the other games they collab'd with, but an MMO?
EDIT: Not to mention one you have to spend $50 to get, followed by subscription fees?! No thanks!
They're seriously doing it to the point where it's not special anymore.

DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS
Apparently the new axe can set people on fire but does less damage, and the new bat does more damage against people on fire but less against people not on fire. LAME.
Also the way they're distinguishing them is by making another fucking subgroup, "Genuine."
Team Fortress 2 has become Hat Advertisingfortress 2.

Not to mention being fairly stupid things compared to what they could actually go out of their way to model. Like the crap from MNC, it could of been 10x times better stuff for each game, rather then what we got.
Magic Murderbag confirmed for Spy
So why hasn't Valve just gon ahead and released a official film maker? Unless they did so already and thats why these just keep getting better.
Probably because of stuff like "trade secrets" and all that jazz.

Why is a doctor with a german accent being played by the Spy and not the Medic?
I was wondering the same thing...
But it's apparently just because he says, "gentlemen." Yeah, that's really the only reason.
Actually it's because he previously did another Venture Bros vid and had the Medic do Dr. Venture's voice
Also another vid from him
So tonight I was on Badwater Basin and I was on BLU. I went Engineer and set up a Lv. 3 in spawn (apparently they STILL haven't fixed that glitch), and used it as cover while I ran past RED team. Apparently their defense was pretty bad so I managed to make it past the second control point with some sneaking around. I finally passed the third control point and was like "FUCK YES I can do the fabled 'Build teleporters behind the enemy so you can flank them' maneuver!" Then their server crashed and my moment of glory was short-lived.
Also can't believe I missed this

Pretty much, although the Samurai sword is fun to use, and if you know what you're doing it's pretty easy to level a group very quickly with it.

okay valve look
i like you guys a lot
i like tf2 a lot
hell, i'll even admit i like hats a lot
but
if you want to help japan, don't do it with fucking LIMITED EDITION BULLSHIT, it will do nothing but tear the community apart further than it already is and it will do more harm than good (for tf2 players at least)
thanks
~reich
it's just cosmetic hats, it can't tear the community apart like other games do with paid map packs and weapons.

ha ha you have no idea man
Never let it be said Valve doesn't have a sense of humor. (http://www.teamfortress.com/hatless/)
I love the hoot of the owl. That just set the atmosphere for that entire video.
ORSON WELLES CONFIRMED FOR TF2
LMFAO
Okay, that's the best GMod video I have seen in a LONG time.
When you watch it on youtube proper it also auto repeats at the end.
so there's this new update that lets you record replays and one of the hats is an m bison refer--WAIT WHAT
GOD DAMMIT VALVE
ARE YOU TEMPTING ME INTO BUYING A FUCKING HAT?
BECAUSE IT'S WORKING
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1uiw_L_-aI
here's a video i made
So there are a shitload of birds shitting all over the tf2 site, and clicking on some of them show images of a hospital and its interior.
Meet the Medic teasers?!
Yep. Which also means Meet the Pyro will come soon after and when that happens, it means the official release of Valve Film Maker.
Yup, Uber Update incoming with Meet the Medic as the main focus.
Also Heavy and Spy get mafia weapons. Figure THAT out
They were probably leftovers from that update with community designed weapons.
If you didn't see it yet, Day Two unveiled Middle Eastern themes for the Sniper (YES!) and Demoman (what). Of note is that the Demoman will get shoes in this pack that will let him turn while charging, so Lei-Lei's days of uniqueness are at an end. Although my guess is that you won't be able to use the Grenade Launcher with it, rendering the Demoman useless at explosions or ranged combat in general.
The new sniper is a sniper that rewards skill. If you headshot multiple times in a row, the charge bar goes way faster.
GENERAL STEAM FORUMS OPINION:
QuoteAny weapon that punishes new players and gives an advantage to good players is just... ugh.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. FUCK TF2'S PLAYERBASE. FUCK IT SO HARD THAT IT'LL GARGLE CUM FOR WEEKS ON END.
The TF2 fanbase is one of the worst fanbases ever
seriously god damn
Soldier gets TWO weapon packs, including shoes that you can actually STOMP ON PEOPLE FROM MID-AIR. Perfect with the M. Bison hat. There's also a retarded shovel replacement that crits during rocket jumps but ONLY during them.
The Scout also got an Easter Egg set which was one I wanted since the Polycount contest: the mail-in order Bonk weapons. The shotgun replacement looks to be the most evil since it allows you to build up a Kritzkrieg-like meter just by running. also lol triple-jump bat, that'll probably break so much shit.
The bat gives you an extra jump, and either the pistol or the scattergun (can't recall) gives you ANOTHER extra jump. Quadruple jumps.
The FaN. Yup, even MORE fun.
As part of today's easter egg. Pyro doesn't get a pack, just the weapon that was in the beta, the Detonator. And Valve is hinting only the Engineer isn't getting an update. Which is sad because that's my favorite class.
okay guys
get ready
to
shit your pants
FREE? FOREVER?!
Again, Valve should just go into the movie business. What they do is amazing.
That was totally worth the wait.

On that note, there's actually a server add-on made to block out F2P users (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=160049)

One of the posts in that thread was saying how useful it'll be for trading servers. Because new people legitimately trying to play the game are worse than people who suck at the game and mostly sit in spawn and trade for hats.
Yes, it'll be invaluable for trade servers.
That is, if you like working completely against the idea of trading.
I bet money that someone's gonna go to the other end of all that and create a server specifically for non-Premium accounts.
We interrupt you from your MvC3 expensive drama to bring you some cheaper (if not free) TF2 drama
Because WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS AWESOME EVEN IF IT BREAKS TF2'S ELEMENTS OF STYLE (http://www.teamfortress.com/grordborts/)
Valve to start action figure line. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5823681/your-official-valve-action-figures-and-replica-portal-guns-are-coming-in-2012)
So does that mean we won't be able to come home safe and soon with the Gordon Freeman toy for Thanksgiving Dinner? :(
[Spoiler]love mom[/spoiler]
Hell yes.
THIS IS AWESOME (http://www.teamfortress.com/deus-ex/)
Too bad I'm getting the game at retail since it's cheaper than Steam.
I might preorder just for those weapons, fuck they're so damn cool.
NEW ENGIE WEAPONS OH MY GOD
just dropping by for this:

Brilliant.
The only way that would be better is if the Spy had a knife shaped like a GMC-log.
+ On backstab, add .01 to your Steam Wallet
- Start with 30 health because that's how much of your soul you give up to he a shameless corporate whore.
Pitch that idea to Valve. That'll be the day...
(http://i.imgur.com/yyOVd.jpg)
Gonna spam this everywhere so I can get that hat. :sho:
I'm too lazy to dig up the old TF2 thread but apparently they're going to be adding a third team of robots, or something (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/5933981/team-fortress-2s-gray-mann-surfaces-as-signs-point-to-all+robot-faction) and have been foreshadowing it for years.
M.V.M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzxpbUeN-eg#ws)
Mann vs. Machine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4cfo0f88Ug#ws)
Yup. (http://www.teamfortress.com/mvm/)
And it was handled about as well as QuakeCon 2012, and by that I mean you have to wait 12 hours before you get in to play a game.
So, until... later today I guess.
Guess they underestimated the amount of users that'd come back just to try it and it bogged everything down.
Supposedly if you search manually instead waiting in a queue you'll have a better shot of finding something but still it's probably better to wait.
So TF2 recently updated and accidentally put a bunch of promo items in the game. These are...
- Bloodhound (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Bloodhound)
- Dapper Disguise (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dapper_Disguise)
- Necronimicrown (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Necronomicrown)
- Long Fall Loafers (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Long_Fall_Loafers)
- Samson Skewer (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Samson_Skewer)
Sam, Brock Samson, and Ash Williams at a poker table?! That alone makes up for the Borderlands and Portal characters that are going to fill the other two slots.
... I might actually get it just for Brock Samson if that's the case, holy crap.
There's always the possibility they'll just be promotions for other things or sales on Steam.
But then Brock wouldn't make sense so you're probably right.
Well they already did have a Venture Bros. promo (Scout gets Monach Henchmen clothes and Heavy gets Brock Samson hair) for no reason outside of "Let's Have 3 costume makeovers for 3 classes that reference Adult Swim shows" (if you missed those, the others were dressing up the Heavy as Carl from ATHF, and the Pyro as Dr. Rockso from Metalocalypse, oh and a Robot Chicken hat for the Pyro but fuck that).
So mmmmmmmmaybe you're right about that.
As much as I love Brock Samson, I can't help but feel a little sad that it isn't Carl from ATHF
Seriously do you have any idea how perfect Carl would be for a Poker Night game
Nah you were totally right after all Jango. (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/01/poker-night-at-the-inventory-2-deals-in-glados-claptrap-ash-wi/)
