So this year, we'll get the Ghastliest Gibus, right?
I doubt Ghastliest will be the name, but probably, yes. Maybe Even Ghastlier, or Ghastlierer.

What I think the raid mode should be like.
One team raids the enemy base, filled with AI (or player, see L4D versus) controlled henchmen/minions of the boss. The team has to bring a bomb/artifact to the objective to blow it up so they can proceed to the next objective, only Heavy and Soldier can carry it. Rest of the team should focus on defending the carrier since he is unable to attack with the bomb. When the carrier is killed the bomb drops on the ground and, if no one picks it up, explodes killing all minions and players near it and respawns near the spawn.
A mix of hunted and zombie fortress.[/QUOTE]
As long as there's only one bomb at a time, but you can pass it around or pick it up if it gets dropped as Heavy or Soldier, then this is an amazing idea.
I hope the upcoming update has something special planned.
Last thing i think anyone wants is a rehash of last year. Okay new map new boss gifts are the same except we're making it so you gotta be registered to have them drop in entirely random places which everyone will play Scout to rush at, enjoy.
I'd like to see it redone, like previously said, with some kind of system. Even in a goofy fashion. It's a silly halloween event!
yea, I don't think we're just going to get a new boss.
Especially since that HLDS implied, to me at least, that matchmaking was going to get some kind of new entry for Holiday specific maps.

But valve stated that they've started on the next Halloween event boss right after the headless horsemann received a lot of positive feedback.

he was saying we'll be getting a boss + something else, valve wants to expand on the idea
I'm guessing that we'll get hats, maybe a few reskin weapons, a new map or two, Raid Mode, and a new boss.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;32905526]I am 100% sure the person on the blog post will not be the boss. Why? Because it's just the pyro with a new halloween themed hat, pyro is not a boss.[/QUOTE]im 90% sure pyro is getting hoves to go with the demon get up

Oops, rated you [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/IMG], sorry.
Anyway, while I do not think he will be a boss, I have this feeling the pyro is going to be the protagonist/antagonist of this update.
Do you guys think the drops will reset early if the update comes out before the drops reset?
I hope that if there are new items that require ridiculous amounts of metal (see: Unusal Haunted Scrap) they are at least curtious enough to give us a double drop week or something.

Double drop weeks.
Crates for the crate god.
Fuck those scouts, I can go ten times faster with my sticky jumper.

I really hope the items look better than the image suggests. The wings look flat and out of place, and they seem poorly designed. Hopefully it's just a quick shoop.
Am I the only one who genuinely likes the wings?

It looks more like artwork to me than a final render.
For the guys who haven't understand yet: It's just the pyro with the new items on the main menu, the pose is the same.

If they are doing class poses with random items attached, then I'd hope that they would have enough sense to pair the Flamenco and Calavera (if it gets in on Halloween) together on the menu. Maybe with the Cremator's Conscience added.

Okay well personally, it doesn't really remove the hunch from the Pyro (which is the main aspect of the Pyro's silhouette), plus the whole devilish/demon aspect seems to fit the Pyro's personality really well.
That's why I like it.

No, he's at least looking further up. If they had just added on the horns and wings onto the pre-existing pose, it'd look like he sees with the horns, because they're coming out of the gasmask's eyes.

Playable bosses would be so boss, kinda like the Tank in L4D Versus.
But I hope we get to fight hordes of NPC enemies one day, NPCs that aren't bot versions of the regular classes and instead are more like classic enemies.
Robot enemies would likely be immune to crits and fire, since the buildings are.
I really hope that this time inside the gifts we'll find halloween weapons!
They could be reskins, or totally new weapons, but they still would be better than some paper masks.Or maybe some haunted scrap metal,you mix it with a weapon, ex scrap metal + sandivch = mistery meat.
To remove the scout hording valve could add a filter: if you always pick the gift, you can't pick it anymore for 20 minutes.
^Gifts should be rotation based, and without being random, to ensure everyone gets it after a while.
Here's a thought; have an NPC enemy that gives the gift to whoever kills it first, with a "consolation prize" given to whoever assisted?
Then again Snipers would have an upper-hand like Scouts did.

I think we should save the robots for some multiplayer campaign mode though.
I don't know if Insaneicide finished his skeleton player pack, but if he did, it would be amazing if it temporarily got ingame.

You didn't miss anything. There wasn't even an update to start the event. The event is time-based.
