Wait a minute...
Demoman has a missing eye.
Engineer has a missing [B]human[/B] hand.
Guys, [b]we totally ARE going to fight a giant hand![/b]
(+500% vulnerability vs. Gunslingers and Short Circuits)
[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;37635718]Well to me the hands look like they were photographed and Photoshopped into glowing, so that must mean that
a). They haven't modeled the hands yet,
or (more likely)
b). The boss will be the Spy's missing face.[/QUOTE]
Not really, most of the time they made the models and draw over them.

That was controlled by a giant hand, all along?
[sp]Who was also controlled by Tabuu?[/sp]

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37635254]Wait...
What if we get a Halloween-themed MvM map?

Notice that the team is RED, and the hands are BLU?
[b]What if we fight ghosts?![/b][/QUOTE]
Chances that those are the arms of the TF2 staff ?
I like to think those hands are from the Engineer, because it wants revenge after it was replaced by the Gunslinger and Short Circuit; it has been wanting to have its revenge since 2010, and what better way to do that than to reincarnate as a ghost on halloween.

Valve, you better fucking have some of your own weapons to release this Halloween update if you're only looking for spooky hats on the Workshop. I don't want another event that's just full of godamn hats.
[QUOTE=psyke;37635931]Chances that those are the arms of the TF2 staff ?[/QUOTE]
Too many hands for the current team.
Needs more like, 2 and a half.

At least now we know that they wanted to use community cosmetics but had little time to get those cosmetics into the game last year.

We need another Hatless update.
The only weapon that isn't a reskin we've ever gotten out of the three Halloween updates was the Sticky Jumper. I love weapons as much as the next guy, but if the trend for Halloween is to add a new Boss Monster, add 'fun' new mechanics for Halloween, and release some decked out halloween gear, why get mad when they don't release Weapons? Weapons is more so a Christmas and Summer thing.
I don't care if they don't add new weapons. I just want some weapons to be buffed/nerfed as deemed necessary like in Pyromania...
Next best thing: Weapons only usable on a full moon
And since players wanted weapons with new stats, those Full-Moon restricted weapons have new stats

Don't give them ideas, please
maybe they'll finally unrestrict the costumes everyone wants unrestricted.
I mean seriously...

The Spy and Pyro stuff is perfectly fine for not being restricted. I mean come on, the pyro has those awesome wings and the Spy set has some of his best miscs.

Confirmed.[/QUOTE]
If Valve made a Halloween short, and it had that as the introduction of the Halloween's boss, it will be as epic as the Mann vs. Machine trailer.
(And if they add in a pause, with captions introducing the boss during the pause, they get bonus points.)
Speaking of that costume, prepare for super-high-pitched Engineers.

I cant be the only person that does not want tf2 to have regular year long new halloween themed weapons.

Of our holiday themed weapons, I think the Headtaker, Wanga Prick and Spycicle fit fine all year.
That just leaves the Unarmed Combat, Wrap Assassin, Mittens and the Candy Cane and I think only the latter is jarring to see all year.
The thing that irks me about the wiki's demo videos is that unless you have SLIed 690s (which is almost certainly overkill) and a i7, you won't ever see reasonable FPS with that quality in real gameplay.
I run TF2 at the absolute highest settings the game allows with config commands and it runs at a steady frame rate. I only have an i5
