Only if they reach reward level 2 they will give the items.

[QUOTE=kimr120;39679001]Only if they reach reward level 2 they will give the items.[/QUOTE] there's no doubt they will, it's one of the most anticipated games of this year

[QUOTE=kimr120;39679001]Only if they reach reward level 2 they will give the items.[/QUOTE] They're already almost at the first tier, I'd say they'll make the second at least.

Those look like... nothing.

[QUOTE=Demon!;39679005]there's no doubt they will, it's one of the most anticipated games of this year[/QUOTE] They're under level one but you're probably right.

I can't even see clockwork hootsalot in the picture but I assure you it is an inferior product to the grace of the real Sir Hootsalot

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;39679015]Ew.[/QUOTE]

The promos are ok, but i am getting tired of pyro head replacement

I'm pretty sure that thing perched on the snipers shoulder is the birdlike enemy featured in game and also on the [URL="http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/2kgames/irrationalgames/bioshock-infinite/coverart/bioshockaltart_610a.jpg"]alternate cover of the game[/URL]. Otherwise, promos are fairly bland save for that bizzare facemask pyros got. [editline]22nd February 2013[/editline] Still a nice addition if you already plan on buying the game, I guess. Free copy of Xcom ain't bad if that happens either.

The sniper boater looks nice. I hope it's all-class (I love boaters)

We can't deny the fact that those are 7 nice cosmetics (in my opinion) and I already was going to get this as a huge Bioshock fan, not to mention 2 free games, I'm sold on this.

Also, I wonder if that demo eyepatch was originally intended as an all class badge. If so, then it's arguably the cleverest shoehorned in item in recent memory.

[QUOTE=Danzflor;39679118]We can't deny the [I]fact[/I] that those are 7 nice cosmetics[/QUOTE] I can.

Also, can't they just implement items without making them promo or event things? tf2 is being converted into a giant ad wall my opinion, of course

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39679050]I can't even see clockwork hootsalot in the picture but I assure you it is an inferior product to the grace of the real Sir Hootsalot[/QUOTE] I can see it in the picture... Kind of.... It looks like a grey hawk.

Well, that was weird. For a moment Halloween Mix and Halloween 2012 appeared on Quickplay for me, now they're gone

[QUOTE=Cosa8888;39679152]Also, can't they just implement items without making them promo or event things? tf2 is being converted into a giant ad wall my opinion, of course[/QUOTE] well it works, I bet the amount of people that purchased quantum conundrum and brutal legend would be a lot less if they didnt have those promo items

[QUOTE=Cosa8888;39679152]Also, can't they just implement items without making them promo or event things? tf2 is being converted into a giant ad wall my opinion, of course[/QUOTE] I can't be the only one who sees it more positively. Like TF2 is PC Gaming's Smash Bros?

I'm liking demo's eye-patch..

[QUOTE=psyke;39679219]I'm liking demo's eye-patch..[/QUOTE] the pair of mustache seems really out of place though.

It's my fact, Ok? Baka Facepunch. (My bad, I just woke up, I'm redacting like shit, brb going to the bathroom)

[QUOTE=psyke;39679219]I'm liking demo's eye-patch..[/QUOTE] It looks like it'll clip with the brim of every one of his hats.

no sexy taunt no medic items didnt play first game 2/10 probably wont buy

When people complain that TF2 has become one big bill board, they're failing to see the other side to it. Those games are actually advertising TF2. Each game has it's own audience, from indie game fans, to big mainstream titles, there's a lot of people out there with different tastes, and a lot of them don't know what tf2 is. Each time a new game has an item or two in tf2, a little link appears on each of their strore pages, with some colourful graphic about the items you get free in TF2. This is how TF2 advertises itself to new audiences. Tf2's core audience are going to buy the game for the items, but people who have no idea what tf2 is are going to download it and play, because it was advertised by their game that they love. Promos are one of the things that keep tf2 alive, by bringing in a new audience with each game release. [B]EDIT:[/B] It's just a shame some of them look so terrible.

reposting from the emporium: the soldier's hat looks like a PoF with the Conquistador's textures, the demo's eye patch is ok but the pair of mustache are really out of place, at least they could have tried to cover part of his face like the Bearded Bombardier. the pyro's head is lazy, the heavy's hair are meh i truly like only the sniper's hat just my two cents on these promos

I don't like how they are marketing this game, but I like the series overall. And now hats. Halp.

I know he wasn't contracted and they were never going to get in, but Rain*'s Bioshock items are way better than those.
