I'm kind of glad that this thread is back up and running. A bit slow currently, but the speculation and chatter in here are entertaining. You guys are pretty OK.
Well I sent an e-mail to Robin concerning improvements for this years Australian Christmas. Hopefully he atleast reads it.

You guys are pretty OK.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and at least wit the very few things left from the leak, I am pretty sure Ned will dig up some nice stuff in a week or two. Well, there's already this cancer kid thing to consider and of course the dumpster pack. Now that the pocket soldier weapons have been taken out of beta, we have absolutely no idea what to expect on the rocket launcher and shotgun and buff banner since this pack has it all. Though I am suspicious that this new shovel will be part of the equalizer splitting process.
unless of course the pocket soldier stuff have been taken out because they're going to be added in.

[QUOTE=Inspecter;33289597]I think people hated the Australian Christmas update because it lacked a Christmas themed map like the Halloween themed ones (Gifts make more sense on a Christmas map).[/QUOTE] one thing I didn't like about it was that it felt thrown together. I know it wasn't thrown together, but the weapons from that update had a lot of bugs, smoothing errors, and of course the Loch-n-Load. We got one whole new sound effect (the Brass Beast, borroed from Day of Defeat), and everything else seemed so rushed. Consider that the Crossbow fires an arrow... now come on, that was something that could have taken like 20 minutes for Valve to make, but they just didn't. It took until last month to fix the bizarre phong on the brass beast, and the Warrior's Spirit still remains weirdly placed. The items themselves were fantastic looking. Their stats were alright, but the whole way the update came together felt like it was an "Oh crap, they want Christmas stuff!"

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33293542](the Brass Beast, borroed from Day of Defeat)[/QUOTE] well the spy knife impact sound comes from dods after all
[QUOTE=Stoffy;33293749]Don't forget the Candy Cane texture which I belive, correct me if I'm wrong, still acts all strange on Low to Medium texture quality settings.[/QUOTE] Yep, it's still borked. Along with the Loch N Load. Hat has a broken texture? Shit bro better fix it those things make us money. We can sell taunts in the store? Get to fucking animating. Weapons need new textures and animations? Snoresville son what's on the TV?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33294604]well now we know Christmas items are coming soonish. ...they just have to be made first[/QUOTE] The contributers have a chance to make some dosh, I'm sure they'll take part in the project. [QUOTE=Ern;33294582]More Snow![/QUOTE] I'd have to agree. As Ned said; With this new contributer "contest", if you will, may spice up the enthusiasm for making lots of new content. Reskins or not, I just hope they'll put me more of a "christmasy" mood when december comes around.
Maybe some of the Christman Items will be similar to this year's Halloween items? Heavy = 3 Peice Santa Suit Scout = 3 Peice Elf costume Medic = 3 Peice Mrs. Claus outfit Soldier = 3 Peice Grinch outfit Pyro = 3 Peice Rudolf outfit Can't think of anymore.

[QUOTE=Erfly;33302496]Uber update?[/QUOTE] And when that rolled around people just started complaining about how long it was taking.
[QUOTE=AlfieSR;33302521]And when that rolled around people just started complaining about how long it was taking.[/QUOTE] I liked it because I'd never really been part of a day to day before. It was fun guessing what would come.
