... It's a Sherman-style tank from WWII. They didn't use it for reference, they just built a new Sherman model. You whippersnappers.
Congrats my dude! How does it look in game?
So it's pretty safe to assume the taunts are more like warmed-up leftovers, and not indicative of a bigger update coming.
Well shit!
Did Valve change the green Halloween flames in any way?
I've been using the "Improved Flamethrower Fire" mod with DX8 for a while because DX8 doesn't have the Halloween flames (or Pyrovision ones) and after the Scream Fortress update, the green flames stopped showing up. The tiny sparks and flames from the nozzle still show up but the flames themselves don't.
I didn't replace the addon in any way and it couldn't have been the game itself, since it just vomits out errors about missing particles about green fire without said addon in dx8, so what gives?
TBH warmed-up leftovers of a good meal are still decent. I'm not complaining. Valve didn't have to flip the Halloween switch, especially ten years on.
I'm glad for any TF2 update to be honest.
That is the Scout Voice Actor that was also present in the Jungle Inferno short, it isnt news that valve gobbles him up whenever they need him while the other classes are left rarely.
The fact that we have new Soldier Voicelines STILL indicate, imo, that they are doing something given the Soldier - or well, any class - hasn't had a session with valve for quite a while and I once again seriously doubt that either:
A. this taunt was a leftover of over 4 years ago
B: they specifically got him JUST for the fucking taunt
So this shouldn't despair you.
now THIS is the kind of spookiness i expect from halloween

My brother bought the taunt too. (That's him with the unusual brain bucket)
Shows how much potential the game has. Nearing almost 100k from a lil' update, more 11 years after release?
imagine how many unique lines valve got stored somewhere and they'll never be heard
Same for pretty much every part of content in this game: maps, models, weapons, update ideas.
If you'd look at this Scream Fortress with the bots from back then, we'd have roughly 120k players. Which would be our all-time high.
I somehow doubt that a tank is able to boost the numbers this badly, and fear the worst.
Is your brother "Mr. G" perhaps? There's a regular on one of my servers with that exact loadout.
Heads up if you unbox something cool from Halloween:

I know this isn't the right thread to talk about this in, as well as it being Halloween, but I had a thought. What if we could fix the Hot Hand by making it so each successful hit makes it slap faster and faster?
interesting buff? Bug? Bugfix...?
When you now charge over ammopacks with the persian persuader and it refills your charge, the extra charge now properly get used, aka it doesnt just end at normal charge length
this means that theoretically, endless charges are now possible if you line the metal up properly
Can't wait to make an autorunner map where you have to run from a boulder Indiana Jones style and the only way to go fast enough is to hit all of the ammo pickups.

According to teamwork.tf the amount of players on the servers peaked at 35k. So, most of this peak was from players not actually playing the game.
Also, TIL: disabling focus assistant in Windows 10 makes tf2 restore from alt+tab way faster and fixes invisible players problem.
"Okay Google take me to McDonalds"
Also I remembered something about one of the Halloween maps. The gimmick for when you win a round is that you have to race to the end to completely win. We can make F-Zero work in TF lads.
Wow, this update's been great so far. I didn't receive a soul gargoyle, owing to the fact that I don't think valve factored in that people might ever need a new one because they deleted their existing one (I did that a couple years ago in protest because I was so mad about how development was going), and the second contract I completed glitched out and didn't give me my reward.
Well this is actually a pretty big buff in a lot of maps.
TF2 is literally the 4th most played game on Steam right now and only because of an update that isn't even that big. And yet some people claim TF2 isn't dying mostly because of the lack of updates. Smh tbh.
If we got more frequent updates we'd reach 120K easy
Like, I'm not saying the TF Team should just, crap them out on the daily or something, but the updates we're having right now just aren't cutting it. If they seriously can't give us more updates, at least they should consider improving the game engine and maybe do something about the hitboxes. The fact that the Team is pushing the game to be as competitive as possible, and yet have a bad engine compared to CS:GO, with terrible hitboxes, bad default settings, bad optimization and so on, isn't really doing them any favors.
I must say, this update one day in, and I must say it's been a damn good one update in at least one aspect: Meme-ability. (and also amazing new maps)
Just a little overview of the stuff I picked up on:
-Tank Soldier in all the different flavors, from tank-ception to full eagle tanks
-Big Smoke Demo, the number nine large we didn't order but got anyway
-Killer Queen War Paint, The jo-joking heavy-mains got their time and now everyone and there goddamn mother can join in on the fun. luck has sided with yoshikage kira Drew
-"Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good" -engi 19/10/2018
-A duck managing to be the most uncanny thing in a Halloween update (Partially my duck btw)
Anyway while it's not the content update we all hoped for, It's been a good one
so as is tradition, I decide to unbox somewhere around 15 crates for this event out of the immediate overwhelming feeling in my stomach that I usually get before I decide to unbox
