Finally! They added some proper boots for the scout as one of the runner-ups to the contest.

Can I still buy the game and get that? or am I too late?

[Monokarhu]

I'd say you're too late but they're not tradable so I dunno.

[MrCasual]

Jungle Booty is Heavy only for some reason.

Oh well.

[/QUOTE]

not actually the icon for the shorts, ingame it uses the Heavy version. as it is sadly Heavy only :/

[sagahanson25]

I WAS thinking of getting the Shorts when they became tradable, but since it's not for Sniper in-game, I changed my mind.

heavy only jungle booty?

this is an OUTRAGE

[VernoGuy]

[QUOTE=MrCasual;46632657]Jungle Booty is Heavy only for some reason.

Oh well.[/QUOTE]

I wonder why, what was wrong with the sniper version?

[DrDonut]

Eric said in an E-mail that they fixed not being able to wear the sniper version.

[QUOTE=Dr. Doughnut;46633243]Eric said in an E-mail that they fixed not being able to wear the sniper version.[/QUOTE]

i don't think this is true

[Punchy]

[QUOTE=Dr. Doughnut;46633243]Eric said in an E-mail that they fixed not being able to wear the sniper version.[/QUOTE]

There's no existing files of the item for sniper, and they didnt post the sniper pictures in the blog.

Not to mention i've sent two emails myself about it. Gonna call bullshit on this one.

[sky_216]

[QUOTE=Dr. Doughnut;46633243]Eric said in an E-mail that they fixed not being able to wear the sniper version.[/QUOTE]

Then why'd they go to the trouble of making a heavy specific bp icon and shopping sniper out of the promo poster..?

[XNiggerHunter88X]

So are the Brimstone Horns restricted?

Because if they aren't I get the right to bitch about how shitty and inconsistent Halloween restrictions are.

They are not restricted.

[MrCasual]

He does have a point though, Scout Xenomorph cosmetics = Too much, but all class demon horns are fine?

Hell the Scout Xenomorphs even effect gameplay if only a little.

You can complain about the horns all you want, but xeno scout is way more out there than some horns.

[wickedplayer494]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;46632663]not actually the icon for the shorts, ingame it uses the Heavy version. as it is sadly Heavy only :/[/QUOTE]

Yep, the schema now matches this:

[MissingGlitch]

They really wanted to stick with the Heavy in shorts joke.

The second part of your comment makes it seem like you're arguing for the "the horns aren't as bad as the Xenomorph Scout set" side, which I assume you're not on.

Also, they're just horns.

Not to mention

These are MORE than just horns, and are all unrestricted.

That was a REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY BAD example.

Something like this is restricted when it really shouldn't, it's not too outlandish.

*snip x 3*[/QUOTE]

Are we really going to get into the "what should and shouldn't be restricted" argument?

All three of those items were submitted with full knowledge that if they got in they would be restricted.
