Haunted Ghosts is just a regular effect, despite the name

[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;50699642]Holy jesus, there's Halloween effects in the new crate?[/QUOTE] Haunted ghosts was a Gen 1 effect. It was mixed in with the same effects as Burning Flames, Sunbeams, Confetti, ect...

Are gen 1 unusuals worth more

Are the Halloween gen 1 effects worth more? I have cauldron bubble flamenco still laying around

So... why [I]did[/I] only one game in a long time get promos? So many other titles could have had tie ins

plus the sword viewmodel looks like ass on 8/9 classes thanks to saxxy stuff

[QUOTE=Problem;50699839]Are the Halloween gen 1 effects worth more? I have cauldron bubble flamenco still laying around[/QUOTE] I'll give you a green confetti black watch, and a flaming lantern Buccaneers bicorn for it

[QUOTE=Zeos;50699898]So... why [I]did[/I] only one game in a long time get promos?

They said that Valve is now (post-2013) only doing promos with community involvement. They did also say that Valve in-general was moving away from TF2 and making it community-only content.

[QUOTE=Cpt. Cakes;50699063]Major Update Speculation V34: "This update sucks" Edition[/QUOTE] This update quite possibly saved the game and im finally having fun on tf2 again. Sure there are some kinks to work out but the overall update is great. Go back to r/tf2

Then Valve gives us the excuse that they don't want to change everything at once, THEN in these next few months [B]watch[/B] as they don't pass balance changes with MINOR patches which would make way more sense.

I can't really blame Valve for not adding those items to the game.

On r/tf2 at least most peoples isssue with the update is the fact that there is any change at all. Seriously look through the posts, they should just rename it r/whiny. nobody brings up any valid points everyone just is like WAHHH Bring back pubs!

I don't know. I think overall this change was for the better, but Valve needs to step up their communication and actually work out the kinks TF2 has as a whole.
