TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V12 - Miniguns are SCARY - look it up - Games

Good to know that the TF2 servers shat the bed for the update. At least I got myself one of the War Paint cases ;)

No new weapon effects is warmed over ass. I am so sick of Hot/Cool/Isotope I could puke up a battle scarred Blutsauger. Energy Orb remains MIA. Also, no return of spells at all. Spelled cosmetics now sell fore more than unusual taunts in many cases.

Jill said spells won't be back because of how performance intensive they are. But they did release a ton of new effects so.

if he doesnt have https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/477768284597713786/F2B8D3431958421730E8F765728363DEC995780E/?interpolation=lanczos-none on his profile, dont trust him

I snagged a case too. I accidentally queued for the normal maps and did a game of thunder mountain. I wonder if I should sell it now, or if I should open it up. I love using these holidays to save up money for the next sale.

The cosmetic crate is alright imo. Some stuff isn't that interesting as well as the highest tier. Why is the highest tier a beanie of all things?

I had a server crash on the new player destruction map. Anybody else? Happens at the end of the game when one team wins.

First map I'm on is koth_slasher and hooooooooboy is mid laggy, not a good start

Fun fact: it would be a full year without a major update tomorrow if not for this.

i have mixed feelings about this update.

there is nothing unexpected about this update

I'm not sold on adding 17 unusual effects and more graded cosmetics. The blog post is kinda small. I was hoping for maybe a small blurb about a little of what's going on behind the scenes. On a side note, I really love the halloween maps and wish they were around for more than just three weeks. Having them around for full moon would make them more enjoyable. Oh well. i also really hoped they would add the tintin cosmetics for scout and heavy but honestly im just nitpicking at this point

I called it. Game is dead. Zero valve effort and no development. time to pack it up.

I got basically exactly what I expected a week earlier than I'd expected to get it, so I'm perfectly satisfied. Some more bug fixes and rebalances would be nice, but we got more new maps than I thought we'd get, so that's nice too. More importantly, there's actual Valve-made content in this update, which bodes well for the future.

Halloween hasn't been a big game update since like '15, it's always just a courtesy update to mark the season. Grow up.

my frames start getting drained from something until an eventual crash from memory leak I wouldn't venture a guess except it's probably that tank taunt thing

Well, so much for TF2 supposedly concluding development like at least one or two people here claimed a few pages ago. What, did people actually think Valve inviting a whole bunch of community members to meet the current team and play LAN together was just some giant hoax? Even motherfucking EA wouldn't stoop to the level of inviting fans of one of their dead franchises over to see a completely fake team pretend to actually be developing a new game, because that would be the single scummiest thing a Triple A gaming developer has ever done, bar none.

Woah, they brought back Spells! Excellent update so far!

King of bad takes

Yeah, me and my friend got it as well enjoying the maps though!

No complementary candy-pail for cosmetics or whatever it's called this year? Awh.

https://i.imgur.com/bBDoWA4.png I checked the unusual list and I can only associate this thumbnail with the fake "Free unusuals" workshop submissions, god damnit

I'm remembering why I love and hate halloween on TF2. I love the maps, the theme, the silly cosmetics, the bosses. Almost everything. But for god-sake, the pumpkin crits...Seriously, if there's one thing I can't stand every halloween is those fucking pumpkin crits.

Is anyone else experiencing client crashes or is it just me?

Because Scout and Spy are two of the most popular classes (if not the two most popular classes, it's a 3-way tie between them and Sniper) and Heavy is the least popular class tied with Engineer

this is fucking awesome these maps are fucking awesome these cosmetics are fucking awesome these unusual effects are fucking awesome im so fuckin happy right now

I wish my PD2 items would sell so I could buy a key for the event. Guess I'll just wait a week and buy what I want.

I'm still holding out for the Evil Dead Engie set: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/241798/f73bc87e-b282-454b-bc13-36d21f0c72c4/image.png They added Dell in the Shell, and that's been in the Workshop for years, I can still have hope.

Are you really counting something entirely outsourced to the community as a major update? There are no weapons, new mechanics, or balance changes in this update. This does not compare whatsoever to Jungle Inferno.
