[QUOTE=Jetamo;33505147]Which is the one I linked.[/QUOTE] You already linked the gun? The peace one or whatever? I'm late to stuff recently :v:
Actually, what do you think about this whole "Make items for update" story? Do you think, that they have stats for weapons ready, but just wait for some nice models or is it going to be even more reskins? I would love the first variant, because that was, how Valve made weapons in the beginning (the ones, that were innovative). The other way round, I would rage if Valve added more reskins, because those didn't really have a good community reputation. Also, maps. Another event map or maybe FINALLY another medieval map?

One hat ATLEAST for each class, not counting all-class. Several reskins because they're showing that as a theme lately. New christmas crates that can contain all the items in the update, like last year. A new medieval mode map. Or maybe Raid Mode...please?
I think it's going to be like the Fancy Vs Nasty update again. A bunch of items from a certain fan made update, and a few others from others(oh boy medieval and halloween update weapons pls. Arbalist's Bolter for Medieval? :D)

Hopefully they include that Hammer and Saw in the blog image, looks like they'd make decent Engineer and Medic melee weapons.
[QUOTE=Sharc;33505346]Hopefully they include that Hammer and Saw in the blog image, looks like they'd make decent Engineer and Medic melee weapons.[/QUOTE] If they are added, i'll be too scared to check the stats on it though. Because they'll probably just make them Wrench and Bonesaw reskins.
I think the soldier and pyro sets which were left out awhile ago will come at christmas too. Maybe before.
Not sure whether this will happen but I saw in the latest PC Gamer Mag (UK) that it said 11th December, time to log back onto TF2 and see what festive hats Valve have made or something along those lines, I'll try and get a pic of it up... Sorry if this info's late. EDIT: Just checked and the 11th of December is a sunday, can't be true surely...
[QUOTE=Joppari;33505463]I think the soldier and pyro sets which were left out awhile ago will come at christmas too. Maybe before.[/QUOTE] I would love the dumpster pack and grief blower, not so much on the scythe melee for pyro
[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;33503571] I feel like TF2 is slipping away, I hope christmas pulls it back[/QUOTE] And I feel like you're given to histrionics.
-snip wrong thread-
To be honest I was really hoping for something similar to the australian christmas update. Cover me in rainbows, but maybe we will get 3 weapon packs, a new map AND holiday reskins, since implementing reskins does not need any effort.
To be honest I think we'll indeed get 3 sets, Dumpster Pack, Garderner Pyro, and that one Medic pack. And I'm pretty sure they'll release a map as well, probably just a reskin or some fanmade map turned official, but who knows ?
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;33509126]Like I already said, I belive we will get the raid mode. Last Christmas we got medieval which was a "new gamemode". If we won't get it, I'm sure the idea has been scrapped.[/QUOTE] Well that cancer-patient who got an unusual played a new gamemode, and that was earlier this month. Doubt it's been scrapped.

[QUOTE=royaldanney;33509526]Huh, why have I never heard of this? Source?[/QUOTE] eh, it's back a bit in this thread. I posted the link if it helps whoever wants to search for it. Basically he went to Valve for a make a wish thing and got to play a new game mode and also got a Community Unusual (ghosts) Spine Chilling Skull 2011. He's fine now, but it tops my list of the weirdest places we've ever gotten TF2 update info from

Seeing how long Valve already develops this mysterious game mode everybody calls raid mode, we could actually really get it with the christmas update - as a present.

So, since the Über update, TF2 has had a "DLC" section. You know what this calls for, right? [sp]Sentry armor pack[/sp] v:v:v Also, valve has recently been taking advice from the kids at SPUF, and this is a very bad thing I hope they will stop doing. This is why we got all the reskins. Watch out for beta updates, these guys are asking for a wrangler nerf.
SUF hates reskins, they have since the days of the Three Rune Blade and Fishcake

I'm personally going to email Robin if they pull off reskins again. They literally have no reason to exist. Crafting recipes solve the "pay-to-win" problem, and they already did this method with the RIFT melees. I don't care if the stats are garbage, all games have bad items. But it's still alot more interesting to choose your loadout from a handful of unique items.
it's also dumb most reskins don't even drop and whose crafting recipe is entirely based on luck. Using 2 weeks worth of items to gamble to get a weapon, only to get an Eviction Notice 3 times in a row is kind of bad, and really discourages people from even bothering.
they really should make the fists for purchase now
[QUOTE=Uzbekistan;33510685]It was added due to premium upgrades I believe[/QUOTE] I can confirm this, the Premium Upgrade is even listed as a different steamapp (a DLC).

Laro is due for another one of those.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;33511100]Laro is due for another one of those.[/QUOTE] It never stops.
[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;33503571]Guys, am I the only one sick of seeing weird things in-game that are just ripped out of other games as promos and stuff like, the sun on a stick, I vaguely remember what game that came from but other than that it just looks like a badly fitting weapon with almost useless stats same with the cow mangler , volcano fragment ect the widowmaker is a useful gun, but in no way does its model fit into the game, they could of designed a TF2 fitting model and released it and it would of been awesome I feel like TF2 is slipping away, I hope christmas pulls it back[/QUOTE] Cow-Mangler actually fits the era. Ever watch any 60's sci-fi?
