[QUOTE=Trixxter;48251112]Thought I'd update and fire up TF2 for the first time in 2 years. Have there been any crazy weapon additions besides that air strike and parachute backpack thing? Also are unusuals still retardedly overpriced/expensive?[/QUOTE] Yes there are new weapons. And no, unusuals are dropping in price now. They aren't as expensive as they were 2 years ago. Oh and buds are about 4 keys now. It's crazy I know.
Is there a console command to spawn bots with certain weapons? I want to just mess around and spawn a bunch of boston basher scouts in melee only mode or give all the scouts the wrap assassin or sandman to see what will happen.
It's good that it's extremely humid and hot in California right now. It's just on the edge, where if you lay down, turn the fan on, cease moving, refrain from getting any particular emotion, and turn off the computer, you can maintain an acceptable temperature. Anything more will have you sweating buckets. This makes playing TF2 is a physically exhaustive activity in the sense that it's not the kind of thing you want to do after taking a shower. Yay, I finally have "time" to study! [editline]20th July 2015[/editline] being hot while not in direct view of the sun is just such an odd concept [editline]20th July 2015[/editline] why did i just make tea????
[QUOTE=usaokay;48249378]It was a film that focused more on the pretty action and less on the story. Live and Let Spy has a narrative that makes you question what the BLUs are planning as the REDs are sneaking behind enemy lines. That plot device keeps you engaged until the climatic reveal. When the good guys were losing in the obligatory "root for the poor guy" sad action scene, it takes the outnumbered guy to somehow come out on top and save the day. For EOTL, you know the bad guys' plan at the get go, so you were there for the RED team's ride to disable the train. The plot was simple and straightforward, but it was too simple. The plot is just about a train is coming to hit the base and the RED team need to stop it. That's it. That's all you need to know. It could hit the base or it could not, but you already know the RED team is going to somehow stop it and save the day. Also, there was a nice little character development with the Heavy and Medic, but they're not supposed to be the focus of the story; the entire RED team was. There wasn't a whole lot to do with the Heavy and Medic's relationship (not in that kind of way lol) because of the larger threat at hand. McVee's previous TF2 work, Practical Problems, is hugely rewatchable because you want to see what dumb funny thing will happen next - even though you already know what's going to happen. The plot makes you keep guessing what inane idea the Engineer has, which was a nice brilliance of egotism ruining the ideals of an otherwise stoic man.[/QUOTE] This is an example of the importance of subscription tbh, it really matters where the content is coming from - people who like tf2 will sub to the generic team fortress youtube channel if you're new to youtube or to the whole thing about finding videos about what you like in general, it is a lot more difficult to find yourself subbed to someone like McVee, no matter how amazing and talented artist he is
[QUOTE=Spectre1406;48251090]plr_dogbread's in the map workshop, am I missing something here?[/QUOTE] What would you be missing
Memory is a fascinating phenomenon: the ability of our minds to encode, store, and recall information. What makes it even more fascinating is that memory is not simply the biological equivalent of a camera: memories are not simply recorded, but rather constructed by our minds. This is why memory is so incredibly complex, why people are able to remember 'false' things or even change their own memories through sheer willpower. A phenomenon of such complexity that its division in smaller, more specific parts is needed: many thus refer to sensory memory, short term memory, and long term memory. Apparently I'm unprovided of any of those three because 5 days ago, after announcing my birthday raffle, I [I]completely[/I] forgot about it, proving in the meantime that I'm also unfit for adulthood. But today some of my neurons must have felt like it so here are the results: [quote] There were 74 items in your list. Here they are in random order: riki2cool Blackavar Jarokwa [...] BattleMedic [/quote] riki2cool wins my festive ambassador, Blackavar wins my strange diamondback and Jarokwa is not the proud owner of a scout shako. BattleMedic gets the Genuine Short Circuit.
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;48252307]What would you be missing[/QUOTE] How it says 'viral' or something? I think I saw this map somewhere before.
is there a place i can go where i can versus players that are the same skill lvl as me or better? i find the most reward in taking down people who are competent and not bad, not to sound pompous
Well the unusual thread is dead so might as well post my question here. My hearts Pampered Pyro for his Haunted Ghosts Black Watch. Yay or nay?
[QUOTE=Anderan;48250958]Shit, I didn't even think of putting one on the Gunboats. I should do it just to have Collector's Killstreak Gunboats.[/QUOTE] Please post results if they have sheen or not.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;48254570]Well the unusual thread is dead so might as well post my question here. My hearts Pampered Pyro for his Haunted Ghosts Black Watch. Yay or nay?[/QUOTE] Are ghosts still wanted with all the other halloween effects kinda overshadowing them?
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;48254570]Well the unusual thread is dead so might as well post my question here. My hearts Pampered Pyro for his Haunted Ghosts Black Watch. Yay or nay?[/QUOTE] Not super knowledgeable on unusual trading, but I'd keep the Pampered Pyro just because hearts fits it well. I think ghosts is worth a lot though, so I dunno.
Are names in item descriptions (aka "crafted by X", "gift from X") completely broken for anyone else? It just shows up as [unknown] for me.
[QUOTE=riki2cool;48254778]Are names in item descriptions (aka "crafted by X", "gift from X") completely broken for anyone else? It just shows up as [unknown] for me.[/QUOTE] Didn't they make the names only appear if you have the gifter in your friends list? That's what it seems like to me, since items I've gotten from friends show the name (to me), while giftapault/secret saxton/"signed" items show [unknown].

I want to just mess around and spawn a bunch of boston basher scouts in melee only mode or give all the scouts the wrap assassin or sandman to see what will happen.[/QUOTE] Not possible without SourceMod plugins. Unless you use bot_mirror command, it allows to you to give certain bot your loadout (including hats) but they lose it if they die.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;48254661]Please post results if they have sheen or not.[/QUOTE] I have specialized killstreak collectors gunboats and they have a working sheen, it works on most weps i believe also a spec ks sf buff banner with a glowy backpack

That one engineer seemed so lost.
makes me wonder when exactly did they add that bot_mirror thing cause it's certainly not from day 1
[QUOTE=Hell-met;48257274]makes me wonder when exactly did they add that bot_mirror thing cause it's certainly not from day 1[/QUOTE] Spy watch. Creates a clone distraction of you. Or 3.
the buffed airstrike is indeed kinda fun 8 rocket clip isn't something you can really ignore
[QUOTE=comet1337;48258939]the buffed airstrike is indeed kinda fun 8 rocket clip isn't something you can really ignore[/QUOTE] Or 20 rocket clip beggar's on less open maps..
The buffed Black Market set is nuts, it's very fun to use for each weapon.
[QUOTE=comet1337;48258939]the buffed airstrike is indeed kinda fun 8 rocket clip isn't something you can really ignore[/QUOTE] It is by far the best soldier MvM weapon now You can solo the big robots when it gets near the later waves, just make sure you upgrade reload speed and buy lots of ammo refills [editline]21st July 2015[/editline] Does somebody want to explain why i'm wrong I'm about to go play MvM with some friends and if there is a better strategy I'd like to know (We already have another soldier covering the buff banner) :v:
So I bought a professional beggar's bazooka fabricator kit, completed it, and now it's totally untradeable nor marketable, even though I didn't use any untradable weapons in the recipe and it seems like it will be permanent. What do I do now? Should I contact steam support? Cause I don't want to lose that much money just for another stupid bug.

My brother made a strange professional killstreak reserve shooter out of a kit he made which also ended up untradeable, and while it doesn't say it's untradeable on the weapon, he can't put it on the market for some reason. He hasn't tried trading it. So I suggest you keep this kit and talk to steam about it.
Yeah, untradeable does not mean non-marketable, but my kit have clearly the 2 mentions and no "Untradeable until the *insert date here*" thing. And the only way to get soemthing like this is to use untradeable weapons in the recipe, which I sure as hell didn't.
Started playing TF2 a lot more since Gun Mettle, just need this comp matchmaking update and I'll be right back home. Also, finished a contract and got one of the cases, opened it, got a Strange Carpet Bomber sticky in FN, sold for £20 on Steam Market. Thanks TF2

What are the best TF2 improvement mods? I'm thinking improved textures and other such fixes.
