[QUOTE=Rajikaru;48181375]Did it take you this long to find out the Huntsman had a taunt or that said taunt is a kill taunt?[/QUOTE] not talking about that talking about the fact a huntsman sniper went to the effort of sneaking past enemy lines, without shooting anyone or blowing his cover, to do the spy's job on one random sniper how and why edit: like, he was slowly crawling around, peaking about corners, all that good stuff he was a spy, but he was a sniper

In the last 3 months, has anyone ever received a regular hat drop?
[QUOTE=protox;48182857]In the last 3 months, has anyone ever received a regular hat drop?[/QUOTE] In playing the game since just after the first Heavy update, I've received 2. A Camera Beard, back when they were dropping as commonly as weapons, and a Surgeon's Stethoscope about a year ago. That's it. I've never received any kind of paint or taunt drop either.
I've gotten a decent number of hat drops over the past couple years, but I haven't seen one for a [I]long[/I] time.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;48180988]Does it bother anyone else as much as it bothers me when more than 3 soldiers show up on the enemy team? Like, 3 top-ish players. It's just, 3 or 4 people clicking. Entire areas are just 2 second death zones for no reason other than "they chose this class". Like, there's nothing they can do [I]wrong[/I], and the pyro is technically a counter to the soldier, but that takes a fairly huge amount of skill, good pyros like that are rare, and there isn't a [I]hard[/I] counter like there is with every other class. I don't have an issue with soldiers alone, but when there's more than 2 or 3 it just becomes anti-fun. Like the only thing you can do is play heavy and hope a medic glues himself to your neck or demoman and participate in the "fun".[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Punchy;48181002]the counter is team co-operation, which in my experience the enemy team will always have and my team never will[/QUOTE] As punchy also said just get some teamwork. Honestly the only reason why those tactics 'work' is because everyone still picks Scout and runs at at them death after death after death. Grab a vaccinator/quickfix heavy/demo (quickfix is normally v good against rockets because the regen rate pretty much outheals the dps, especially if a soldier misses so much as one rocket) and just kill them. It still takes two\three rockets to kill one person as a Soldier which is half or three quarters of his killing potential. Abuse it with a class that has got a larger killing potential ammo reserve and soldiers ain't no mo prob
Only drop I remember this year was a stogie on new years. I think they purposely lowered drop rates to encourage players to use metal instead but so far that method haven't proven to be very effective
It's me or the hit reg feels more wonky than usual? I'm sure that meatshot (or at least a pellet) managed to hit x player. And melee, now for me, feels really broken. And to install a hitsound is: hitsound(.mp3) and goes into tf/sounds (rate dumb) or tf/customs (disagree).
Turns out the Reanimator wasn't the issue. Tried to open the game and edit my medic loadout, without the reanimator equipped, only to be greeted by more shenanigans.

I'd delete/redownload them to be sure.

So close to winning a raffle ;_; One of these days.
These contracts more or less got me back into TF2. I forgot how silly fun little game this can be. I really hope they will produce more stuff like this.
What's the deal with these contracts anyway? The update page says you get 2 a week but I've had 5 or 6 over the past few days.

It's enjoyable to feel like I'm working toward something- even if it is weapons I'll never use.
Alright, someone bought the Sand Cannon on the Market. I feel like I should have demanded more for it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mkAibwh.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;48180079]I don't think the service itself is fucked, it's just that it's super easy to do a chargeback and when you're dealing with virtual items Paypal isn't responsible for what you lose.[/QUOTE] It's not really any safer than those middleman things. What I do when dealing with paypal is I force them to add a "I will not charge back" or sometimes I truly don't trust them I make them add "Any charge backs are fraudulent" and it works. Better way to do it all is to buy in small amounts rather than a lump sum
[QUOTE=MendozaMan;48184093]Goddamn I always forget how much these virtual pixels are worth[/QUOTE] "worth"
If people are willing to pay that much then sure

So for some reason I get a black screen every time I connect to a Valve server. Good bye contracts!
lmao i got kicked by the game during mann up because of vac not connecting and it was during last wave too [editline]12th July 2015[/editline] ok for some reason i managed to get a loadful of parts
Bought a civic duty shotgun for like 20 cents, got a killstreak kit for like 4 ref, slapped it on, and the shotgun jumped up into 4 bucks. This update is so profitable, that I didn't even buy a contract and I'm already about halfway done the price of the ticket. :v:
I find it hard to use some of the skins even though I really like how they look because I already have non-skin stranges with thousands of kills, some of them with killstreak kits. I would just sell all of my old stuff, but they're not worth a lot either. I know its just a number that doesn't affect anything, but some niggling part of me tells me that if I didn't get a kill with a strange it was a waste.
Son of a bitch. I keep crashing when I'm connecting to certain Valve servers. Or, I'm not sure if crashing is the right word. The game closes down when "Sending client info" finishes. Can't play with my friend like this. I reinstalled TF2 and it [B][I]seems[/I][/B] to have been fixed. Too early to tell though.
Has anyone had an Engie contract where ''heal teammates for 500 health with Dispensers' was the Advanced challenge? Does it have to be 500 health with the same Dispenser? 500 heals in 1 life? 500 health in 1 round? 500 heals accumulated over several rounds? As if Engie Contracts aren't already an absolute pain on Valve servers with zero team support and me always ending up on a shit team that gets rolled and can't establish a defensive hold, I then get an Advanced challenge that sounds super awkward. People rarely use Dispensers for healing, and I sure hope it ain't 500 in one go, cause that sounds awful to have to pull off 3 times to get the advanced points.
It's 500 HP whilst the round lasts - if the round changes whilst you've reached... let's say - 250 HP, it'll reset back to 0 HP for the next round. Although indeed your quest is fucked up - I had a "5 Kills with a single sentry" advanced contract.
I got a Medic contract with "Get an assist with an Ubercharged Heavy" as an advanced goal It was worth it though because I got a Concealed Killer case
