[QUOTE=Rankzerox;17141895]I find it amuzing with the FAG tag over them.[/QUOTE] Oh im sorry, i dont play pc tf2, i do like the fag tag though.
Using idler was not cheating. No one gets hurt, no one gets advantage.
There is an advantage: You can leave it on and forget, and not get booted for AFK. Allowing you to leave it on for quite a long time, so you can sleep, watch a movie, play a console game or go beat some meat.

I got plenty of resources to keep tf2 open anyway
[QUOTE=Max of S2D;17134241]They should be replaced by the so-called random hat ASAP[/QUOTE] this would be a much better choice
[QUOTE=edja007;17142147]Fine then, I will fire up tf2 and idle on idle server, same shit. I got plenty of resources to keep tf2 open anyway[/QUOTE] and if those are full we could always idle in [b]REAL[/b] servers. That's all VALVe has accomplished by this.
[QUOTE=ghosevil;17142278]and if those are full we could always idle in [b]REAL[/b] servers. That's all VALVe has accomplished by this.[/QUOTE] I don't think they care about the idling. I think it's more that they care people used a third party program. If they wanted to they could easily detect who idles on an idle server and do the same punishment to them too.
I have no problems with people having halos and all, but they do look a tad silly.
I'm actually surprised by all the halo hate. It's funny. It's just a fad anyway, once people grow tired of tired of their halos and you idlers get your items back, no one will care. Just soldier through it and move on.
"Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage" Where's the advantage in having a hat again? It's not cheating, and just because you have a halo doesn't mean you're instantly better than anyone. There, now can I stop getting banned from every single server for not having a halo?
Maybe if the halo actually looked cool, i would care that i didnt get one
[QUOTE=Deadsnipe;17136529]Yet without us you wouldn't have your little gay halo.[/QUOTE] We would also have a fair playing field, free of cheaters. Thanks Valve!
Halos are as common as not having a hat is now.
I love the Poor and Irish halo heads who gloat, and then I tell them I have a Batter's Helmet. They usually tell me that I "cheated" for it, and then I show them that I have it and that it didn't go away after the update. They proceed to shut the fuck up.
Quick question, if a new steam user buys TF2 after valve starts to detect the idler program, do you still get the Halo?
Whatever happened to TEAM Fortress?
I like the Halos. I idled, and I don't have one, but I'm not getting banned from any servers for not having one. They make nice targets if you're a sniper, and if you see a spy wearing them, it's a free kill. I just really hate seeing soldiers wearing them. He looks so wrong without a helmet coming down over his eyes to give him that "crazed war machine" look. Instead he just looks like a generic video game character.
[QUOTE=Keychain;17152092]Halos are as common as not having a hat is now.[/QUOTE] Not really, it is just really, really close. Halo's [i]should[/i]* be removed, but kept in-game as an findable item, with a name change of course. *Should does not, and should* never mean will. Also a question, Am I the only guy who wears a halo because I like the look?
No, it shouldn't. We should be more mature and, instead, ban the elitist fags who think halo/no-halo is better than the opposing side.
Halos were not needed. They should have done everything except identifying who idled or not. We wouldn't CRY SOME MORE if butthurt server admins couldn't tell if you idled or not. Then this shit would have went away.
It's weird, everyone says the TF community is split because of this halo, Yet every server I've played everyone is fine with it.
[QUOTE=Razzie;17152351]It's weird, everyone says the TF community is split because of this halo, Yet every server I've played everyone is fine with it.[/QUOTE] Well that is because the TF community exists only on forums apparently.
If you join decent servers, then you will not see any of this happening. Join crappy servers, and you'll see tons of it. The problem is that crappy servers account for about 3/4 of the tf2 server community.
I like the Halos. Makes me know who I need to aim for...DOWN WITH THE HALO WEARERS THEY TUK MAH CAMERA BEARD!
I remember using the idler because I couldn't get any fucking sniper or spy weapons.
[QUOTE=Deadsnipe;17136529]Yet without us you wouldn't have your little gay halo.[/QUOTE] we still got a free hat plus you guys cheated to get an item while we play the game to get the hats and weapons
