honestly CP_Badhands is probably funnier than whatever it will actually be

Also, about the new mysterious promo, didn't the Valve Store say they would be putting in MvM related items in the store in September?

2012 Halloween won't have zombies. Or a new boss. Or any new gamemodes. As the ghastly hands on the tf2 blog and "meet the" videos indicate, the Blu team is dead, and it's now haunting the Red team. So the halloween event will be essentially mvm with regular class models only slightly transparent on the enemy team. Just my prediction.

If Valve manages to make a [b]good[/b] Halloween update (on the level that is as good as the 2nd Halloween Update, or even better), I'm going to make [b]everyone[/b] eat socks... [SUB][SUP]Including me, of course.[/SUP][/SUB]

yea, that second halloween man. My favorite event in TF2 history.

Was the second one with the horseless headless horseman? Because that one was pretty rad

[QUOTE=Simski;37788535]Was the second one with the horseless headless horseman? Because that one was pretty rad[/QUOTE] He was; though he was just a demo reskin, he had a lot of personality, a great map for which he can move around, and he gave me a goddamn axe.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37788480]yea, that second halloween man. My favorite event in TF2 history.[/QUOTE] I wish the other Major Updates (that are not on par) can match up to that update. It's my favorite Halloween Update~. Next being the first Halloween Update (and also where I first started actually playing Team Fortress 2). Third Halloween Update sucked (would be better if they made the costumes [b]not restricted[/b]). This Halloween Update better not suck worse than the Third Halloween Update.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37788480]yea, that second halloween man. My favorite event in TF2 history.[/QUOTE] Same here. I still love playing on the map, even if the boss doesn't spawn.

For all the kvetching I did last Halloween, I don't think that there has been a bad Halloween so far. With MvM and Valve encouraging more community items (Meaning nothing good will be restricted like last year) I think this Halloween will be the best one yet.

i still loved all of the halloween events equally, although i won't lie in admitting i had the most fun with the 2010 one

My computer broke during the Monocolous event, so I've never played the event, the map, the boss, and never got any halloween pieces rip ;_;

[SUB][SUP]Including me, of course.[/SUP][/SUB][/QUOTE] I'm incredibly optimistic, actually! 2012 shaped up in a way that makes me think they'll be breaking from tradition a bit. 3 reasons: 1. New costumes don't seem like a guarantee. Consider: that's 27 holiday-restricted items to collect and clog backpack space. Maybe the sets were meant to just be a more generic "Halloween Getup" deal, rather than "2011's Very Scary Halloween Special Costumes." If it were a yearly tradition, then we'd be up to 81 items by next year. Who knows, maybe they'll update the item sets that currently don't affect the user. Maybe the scout's voice could be muffled like the pyro? 2. MvM lends itself to the gift system much more. A 6-man team is small, and everyone working together would suggest a system where one person grabbing a gift would result in everybody reaping the rewards. Not to mention the gameplay is much more chaotic, which would make a drop feel more spontaneous and less like you're just sitting around, pretending to care about capping points while waiting for the next gift/monster spawn. The gift dropping would probably be more rare, which is a plus in terms of spontaneity. Maybe hourly "Dead Ol' Nick has dropped a spooky present" gamewide notifications? It'd eliminate the need for farming instead of playing. 3. 2012 dumped a lot of story on our laps. It's going to be really fun to see what happens. We've got two new dead Mann family members, but the fact that they strayed from the family last year hopefully means they're going to keep being inventive. (LIKE SPOOKY JOE, FOR INSTANCE)

I'm just curious to see if MvM is the guaranteed "future" of the teams, or if they'll do a sort of continuation of the post Redmond/Bluetarch story. I seriously doubt it considering what valve said about the actual update being the culmination of what happens in the comics (or however that email went) , but one can remain tirelessly optimistic as to what possibilities there might be.

I still think this year's halloween update will include the ghosts of Redmond and Blutarch as the bosses.

The halloween map will probably have something to do with mvm, on an mvm map, and this year's boss is Gray in some mecha-robot suit that spawns once every 5 rounds or something. And it's a survival map type, a la Call of Duty Zombies

Still, I doubt something of that caliber would just be introduced for Halloween; more of a mode down the line, maybe even the Reverse MvM we've been talking about.
