[QUOTE=Jetamo;49338409]That's what we call "a present", riff.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but the present has the 'Tough Break' pattern on it.

[Punchy]

[QUOTE=Hell-met;49338416]I don't like the "do this action and get a random reward" changes. Those seem to be everywhere.[/QUOTE]

I can only assume it's a risk for reward factor. Time will tell whether it works or not

[Makzutheamazing]

Welp

Merry Christmas everyone

[ADSKILLER]

[QUOTE=Darth_Toast;49338414]Let's not forget new and better contracts, those were what brought a lot of people back into the game![/QUOTE]

Calling it, there will be a contract for getting a market garden.

[Sweater]

Gun Mettle Engi wasn't good?
Honestly, i can't wait to try all these weapons changes.

[Steel]

9 Miniguns
8 Knives
8 Scatterguns
8 Sniper Rifles
8 Grenade Launchers
7 Stickies
7 Knives
7 Medi Guns
7 Revolvers
7 Pistols
5 Shotguns
4 SMGs
Also should mention that each collection or case has at least one weapon per class, if not more. I am pleased with this, so people don't feel excluded.

[QUOTE=Mifil;49338221]As a medic main, I am so happy to see that now Crossbow can give us some percents of ubercharge on successful heal.
Also that tripled build time...amazing.[/QUOTE]

build time increased only for setup time, like on the pl maps.

you gotta be a real tool to not understand extinguishing somebody with airblast or a jar saves their health. Nah, we need selfish incentives

Nine more ladies to play with,eh heavy?

[TectonicImprov]

Amputator and Crusader's giving Uber are amazing.

Also YESS DEGREASER IS DEAD

[EmilyVasquez]

How do you guys feel about the new Eviction Notice?

[Inferno564]

All these weapon changes, and the Sun-on-a-Stick, Sharpened Volcano Fragment, Brass Beast, Overdose, Vita-Saw or Darwin's Danger Shield isn't one of them

[Zeos]

I hope we get more Pauling lines

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;49338344]Has anybody played the new community-made maps before? I've honestly never seen them before in my 6 year-long career as a TF2 player.
[/QUOTE]

Highpass is a popular competitive map (both 6v6 and Highlander), so it's been playtested to death. Good map. Haven't seen any of the others, a bit surprised to even see a CTF map in this day and age.

[Oast]

[QUOTE=and5728;49338444]build time increased only for setup time, like on the pl maps.[/QUOTE]

I guess to encourage people to switch to medic after a few seconds, rather than thinking "Oh, I can't build an uber in time for the round to start, I just won't go medic."

I don't think that this crate will contain the Winter-themed cosmetics.

[mphayes97]

engineers and their sentries were hard to counter for new players, these changes were intended to help the new player learn what to do to beat engineers.

[Jetamo]

Interestingly, no mention of matchmaking. Perhaps we'll see a more competitive-oriented update next year.

It wouldn't be good if they balanced too many weapons in one patch IMO. If they did add more changes then they currently do, I would feel a bit overwhelmed.

[Saikyo]

I dislike how everyone is moaning about the sapper change. I'd agree with the fact that it's unfair if the engineer was the only person to ever get rid of sappers; but Pyro himself is Spy's counter. On top of killing Spy pretty much instantly, Pyro has the ability to instantly dumptruck sappers. This gives Spy extra utility against engineer, which is the class Spy is supposed to counter, and a bit of extra defense against Pybros, which make sappers intrinsically useless.

[QUOTE=quake84;49338360]I bet Engineer mains are jumping out of their windows right now,[B] including me.[/B]

[I]Killing the sigafoo save wasn't enough, let's kill the rescue ranger , also let's allow spies to disable sentries for additional 0,5s as if sapper-spamming wasn't already a thing, additionally the Jag is too good so let's fuck it up as well.[/I]

Thanks Valve...[/QUOTE]

I honestly have no idea why they don't give the sapper some sort of cool down after being used. Sapper spammers are what drive me away from playing Engineer.

[riffchopper]

[QUOTE=Jetamo;49338409]That's what we call "a present", riff.[/QUOTE]

...You're right. :v:

[sp]I'm still hoping it's something Festive, though.[/sp]

This is the kind of case that should be released in another six months.

It'll contain Australian Christmas items. i.e. Summer. Also Ukuleles

[LuxZ]

There is no way there won't be festives. Scout is holding a festive crate for a reason.

[TomatoFlakes]

I'm just hoping for naughty and nice crates without the tiered rarity bullshit that's plaguing campaigned cases
