Is it just me, or does this recent Christmas update not feel.... christmasy.. - Games

well this update just feels like a second polycount update to me. dosent feel very christmasy at all, i was expecting some snowy maps, and shit like that. i am dissapoint, very dissapoint. rate agree or disagree if you want, or you can vote in the poll, or do both, i couldn't give 2 shits. [b]agree[/b]= its not christmasy [b]disagree[/b] = is christmasy, if you disagree then please post why.

No snowy maps, fuck.

Well, it's "Australian Christmas". I did feel a bit of it when giving away items and a hat tho. From Valve's side, no. By the way, stuff like the Scout's Candy Cane is not holiday-restricted, is it? Boy that will look weird... I mean look through all the "Meet The" videos once and ask yourselves if the thing would fit in. As a normal alternative weapon, not some Christmas gimmick. In short, no.

Give it a while i dont think its over yet

There's a few christmas hats, but no christmas achievements? I mean come on, valve you gave us a halloween event and halloween achievements, but for christmas, you give us hats, boxes and keys with wraps.

I feel used. Valve is just using Christmas as a way to milk more money out of the community.

I only wanted a free santa hat.

I mean look at how rushed the things we already have are. They didn't even try making killicons.

or new taunts,sounds,animations.... the fucking medics crossbow fires a god damn arrow, and it makes the same sound as the huntsman.....

Except for the two first class updates (pyro scout etc.) Tbh, VALVe has gotten quite lazy.

[QUOTE=beasty;26803434]or new taunts,sounds,animations...[/QUOTE] ...I just realized it's kinda sad my initial thought to this was "wowowow, calm down, you're expecting a lot of things at once". Yeah, I think it all comes down to a Polish Update in the future. And by that I of course mean updating the Polish language files. [editline]19th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ChaosWolffy;26803450]It's always been like that.[/QUOTE] I remember something else from the Engie update. They even did a few for Polycount. I joined during the end of WAR so I don't remember the patching that was done there.

When the first class update came out, new weapons didn't have kill icons. They were added a few days later.

Nope,it's just another unpolyshed uptade with cool weapons with horrible stats and where is the boss battle, I really wanted to fight something like an evil frosty or jack frost (mann frost?)

[QUOTE=leonthefox;26803733] and where is the boss battle, [/QUOTE] this shit wasn't confirmed... and would have been cool tho

Not at all. Only winter stuff I see is crates and keys which I don't care for. Oh and also hats which I'm never going to get anyway.

In Australia there's no snow. [editline]19th December 2010[/editline] Are you racist? Are you going to discriminate Australians because of your North American or European mindset?

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;26803965]In Australia there's no snow. [editline]19th December 2010[/editline] Are you racist? Are you going to discriminate Australians because of your North American or European mindset?[/QUOTE] fuck off...

They have a few Christmas themed hats and those crates, but most of it is about the medieval mode.

[QUOTE=JustGman;26803348]I feel used. Valve is just using Christmas as a way to milk more money out of the community.[/QUOTE] By allowing more mapmakers and modelers to make a profit from their work?

God damn it i meant to say No

The only thing Christmasy is a few of the new weps and some of the hats. And cp_degrootkeep isn't even in Australia.

Medieval is the worst gamemode ever.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;26804724]Medieval is the worst gamemode ever.[/QUOTE] no it isn't i have a blast with it

i can tell it will get boring pretty fast tho...

There is absolutely no say or trace of Santa Claus anywhere in the Christmas update. Need I say more?

[QUOTE=beasty;26805228]i can tell it will get boring pretty fast tho...[/QUOTE] community made castle maps will fix this. and hopefully more gimmicky medieval weapons for classses that are NOT demoman

Conspiracy time. Does anyone else think there may be another Christmas Update coming next week? Let's look at the clues... 1) [B]There will be an update on December 24th.[/B] More specifically, the [URL="http://www.cubeupload.com/files/b71c77proof.png"]Mann Co Store will be receiving an update[/URL] featuring some of the newly implemented weapons such as the Jag. Why would they ship an update on Christmas Eve when most people are at home with their families? 2) [B]The lack of Christmas hats in the update.[/B] For the people who closely follow the modding scene on places like Polycount and Facepunch, you know that there was a plethora of Christmas hats contributed to Valve. From [URL="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18965506&postcount=20"]santa hats to elf hats to mistletoe hats[/URL] and so on. Only three holiday-related hats were added yesterday: a tree, Max's Severed Horn and the Christmas lights. There wasn't much Christmas content for an update called "Australian Christmas". Either they are saving some hats for next year's update or maybe there's more to come. 3) [B]The "Old Nick" model.[/B] Take a look at the [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas/"]update page[/URL]. That's a pretty good drawing, right? You might think so. However, that's not how Valve does their art. They first create a 3D model, pose it and then draw over it in an image-editing program to make it look hand-painted. Notice how similar the style of the new art is compared to the [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/"]Horseless Headless Horsemann[/URL] or this [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/public/images/soldier.jpg"]Soldier art from 2009[/URL]. Both were made using the method I described. Now why would Valve waste such an amazingly detailed model on a single update page? Maybe.. just maybe.. Old Nick will be introduced as a new boss next week on Christmas Eve.

yeah, demo is now getting too many fucking melee weapons, and no god damn primarys. i mean just about every (decent) demo weapon is a fucking melee weapon..
