Okay so the AWPer Hand still doesn't seem to be tradeable.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37380470]I'm hoping they fixed the Scout's Boombox sound in MvM.[/QUOTE] What was the glitch?

EDIT: -snip- Also, this means my Hipster style will be back on my brown bomber <3

[QUOTE=ABW;37380458]The community requests are the 2 below it[/QUOTE] Yeah, BBCode on Facepunch doesn't allow for sub-bullets.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37380545]No Boombox sound when taunting.[/QUOTE] It worked fine when we made a Pyro, Scout and Engy band some days ago.

[QUOTE=lol user;37380554]:suicide:[/QUOTE] With the recent trend of taking 1-2 months to make promos tradable, similar to Ghost Recon, i hope you dont plan on waiting.

Still needs to be a nerf when "all bots carrying the bomb cant be ubered"

Have one unconfirmed report of Valve secretly enabling party mode. Take with grains of salt.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37380418]- Added Taskbar Window Flash and Drum Roll sound on successful match making for Windows users - Sound will play even if the game is minimized[/QUOTE] Ooh these two are handy. I've been hoping for the minimized one.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37380604]Have one unconfirmed report of Valve secretly enabling [B]party mode[/B]. Take with grains of salt.[/QUOTE] What does it means? Better lobby system?

[QUOTE=Hammer7;37380643]What does it means? Better lobby system?[/QUOTE] Party mode because tomorrow is TF's birthday?

[QUOTE=Hammer7;37380643]What does it means? Better lobby system?[/QUOTE] No, that's the mode that gets activated on the TF series' birthday.

MvM main menu isn't on anymore, just the background picture

Next time you start TF2 you'll recieve the party hat and the birthday noisemaker

Yep, Valve secretly enabled party mode.

Secretly? Uhhh, it's meant to be on now.

[QUOTE=iRunner;37380700]Next time you start TF2 you'll recieve the party hat and the birthday noisemaker[/QUOTE] Guys.. guys... do you hear that? That's the sound of a thousand new players getting a party hat.... That's the sound of a million Fast Learner Scouts donning the party hat.... Heavies will give up their Gibuses... WOO!

Community requests means new crates right?....right?

I saw 2 people get party hats and noise makers a few minutes ago.

[QUOTE=Devozade;37380734]Secretly? Uhhh, it's meant to be on now.[/QUOTE] Secretly as in didn't document it.

I can't use my noisemaker :(
