[h2]4th annual Scream Fortress update page:[/h2] [B][url]http://www.teamfortress.com/blizzbobarrabas[/url][/B] --------------------------------------------- [url]http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=9211[/url] [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/blizzbobarrabas][img]http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/spectral_merasmus.jpg[/img][/url] [quote=TF2 Team]Welcome to your DOOM... AARON A. AARONSON! Yes, we're talking directly to YOU, Aaron A. Aaronson! This prophecy of your death is coming from INSIDE YOUR OWN COMPUTER! AWOOOOOO! Hello, everyone else! What you just experienced was a brave new frontier in Halloween scaring technology: personalized terror! Rather than generically scaring all of you a little, from this Halloween forward, we’re going to scare one specific person... TO DEATH! Admittedly, much like the Human Genome Project, this is going to take some time. So everybody be patient - you'll all be scared eventually. Also, if any of you know Aaron B. Aaronson and don't want to deprive him of the thrill of dying of terror next year, don’t tell him about this blog post. But just because we’re all now living in the amazing far future of scaring, being frightened in ways that until moments ago seemed impossible, that doesn’t mean we don’t have some more traditional Halloween horror planned for you. First of all, we’re happy and scared to announce the Fourth Annual Scream Fortress Halloween update, dedicated to the loving memory to Aaron A. Aaronson. It doesn’t ship until tomorrow, but you can read all the eerie details here. Secondly, we’re pleased to present the first in our new series of Halloween-themed release notes. It’s a terrifying little tidbit of fearful fact reporting we call “John Carpenter’s Changes to the Functionality of Halloween Gifts”! Last year, gifts spawned publicly and could be claimed by whoever got there first. This year, players will receive private gift spawns that they can grab at their leisure without having to race everyone on the server for them. The end. Directed and programmed by John Carpenter.[/quote]

YES!

neat

Zombies :dance:

[QUOTE=TF2 Team;38187549]Welcome to your DOOM... AARON A. AARONSON![/QUOTE] Oh god they're after me.

Wow, it's been a while since they've announced an update this late in the day. I almost thought they'd forgotten about it.

Just what we need. More zombies. On the other hand, I'm curious about the magic spells and the wheel of fate.

Magic spells sound both interesting and horrifying.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;38171418]i would really like a version of mvm where, instead of robots, you fight raised class zombies. eventually, you come toe to toe with merasmus himself. but, yknow, with more stuff.[/QUOTE] you're welcome

So a new KOTH map [i]and[/i] MvM zombies. Everyone's happy.

neat:dance:

YES. ZOMBIES. This is gonna be a great update :dance:

The AWOOOOOOO at the end reminds me of Nixon.

I wonder what will happen if Spells are used on hats. Be cool if they were Unusual like, would give you a cheap/free unusual.

Someone take screenshots and upload them to dropbox or something pls

Zombie Heavy? Bring it on. [img]http://i.imgur.com/3ZrCL.png[/img]

I wonder if the Engi zombie means that we'll being seeing them in MvM.

Yay, no competing against everyone for one prize!

Jesus those zombies look creepy.

[QUOTE=4444;38187816]I wonder if the Engi zombie means that we'll being seeing them in MvM.[/QUOTE] Wasn't there some stuff found in a beta dll file? Something about robo-engies hijacking sentries

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;38187774]Someone take screenshots and upload them to dropbox or something pls[/QUOTE] Working on it...

I have this [b]huge[/b] suspicion that the new summoning spells are the new Halloween crates.

Chasing down prizes with other people was so much fun. Now it's just a boring as fuck drop system, basically.

I hope that the zombie mvm rounds will have creepy music instead of bouncy action music. I'd rather be chilled to the bone while fighting than pumped up. I can get pumped in regular MvM anytime I'd like.

Heh, they re-used the Meet the Pyro dead Soldier with hole in the middle of his abdomen.
