Jesus. Lucien hats aren't going to be that un-rare, some cost as much as £11.

Polycount Pack costs $49.99/£29.99. Surely nobody is going to be insane enough to buy that. That's more than the game cost.

Oh well. I'll be crafting a few of them and ignoring the others. Mostly because I can't actually play TF2.

Well the prices are high enough to put most people off buying them all straight away so things aren't really going to change much at all I reckon. Not for a while anyway.

Having high prices is something of a consolation, but I'm still just not happy with this update. TF2 started irking me in certain aspects when the sniper & spy pack came out and it's really only gotten worse since.

Also camm would you get the fuck out already

A sniper gun that doesn't get headshots?

Why can't all sniper guns be like that?

mate look it's this fucking simple

you and your brother think you have some sort of 'gift' or privileged position because of your tech shite

anyone can enrol for the college course you're taking. get off your fucking high-horse, you ridiculous mistake of a human being.

those HE courses at state-funded colleges don't even have entry-requirement past basic basic high-school graduation.

you said yourself your classmates are mostly all social retards and kids that are hardly going to cambridge to work on compsci theory

so shut the fuck up and stop acting like you've got some career advantage. you won't be working as a M$ dev. period.

also get out you literally have nothing to say about tf2, at all. you're just here to have some pansy career talk.

Oh by the way.

That's 1 out of Valve's "3 big surprises" out of the way according to PC Gamer.

Also, 'The Rocket Jumper' sounds like a fun pointless addition. It's not listed on any of the update pages but it's in there somewhere.

"The Rocket Jumper"
A special no-damage rocket launcher for learning rocket jump tricks and patterns
-100% Damage Done
No self inflicted damage
+200% ammo

It sounds like the type of thing i'd like using just for the hell of it. And bouncing enemies about.

i dread to think what the next 2 are.

perhaps the third surprise will be a mercy kill: a complete withdrawal of support for the game and its servers, APB-style.

by then tf2 will probably need it.

Next update will VAC-ban all league players, and anyone in a pub server who hits a KDR of over 2 will get insta-banned.

Heard it here first.

@Uzique: They're not all TF2 related. Just Valve in general. I worry a bit about what they'll be as well because of the way Gabe compared it to the L4D2 'surprise'.

"Gabe Newell: We have three surprises. I’m talking about surprises, not the surprises themselves. But we’re going to do three things that have the potential to… that will be novel. And if we don’t make sure that people understand what we’re doing, they could easily respond in a Left 4 Dead 2 kind of way. Like, “What the hell?” right? And we just need to be good about that."

So one down. It's certainly an interesting one too. 2 more to go.

'interesting'?

name me one good thing, in an objective sense, about this 'update'.

one thing it adds of a benefit.

interesting? shitting on the mona lisa would be an interesting statement. i aint gonna applaud.

Some of those guns look kinda fun to use.

Balanced? Fuck no, could be fun for a couple of rounds though.

Uzique: dasein.; +2,865|6469

what's interesting about a gimmick? one trick, superficial, '... oh' features.

'interesting' is something that has an appeal - an intrigue - a bit of content to get stuck into; something new to explore and experience.

all of this new content has the shelf-life of one in-game encounter.

'oh, so that's the new weapon'. 'oh, so that's what that hat looks like'.

you find that interesting? do you collect stamps?

I'm sorry. Did I just see FIFTY FUCKING DOLLARS to buy tf2 items?

Fuck me, I have to give it to that fat fuck mr newell. He has spawned this down-syndrome community, and now he's going to explot the fuck out of him.

You see, the main problem is that the pubs would all be dead by now without these item updates.

And the comp scene could just make up it's own rules about item usage, so it doesn't effect them.

I miss tf2 before the medic update. I kind of find this shit hard to believe paying for shit items. Maybe if you could get it from in game credits or something. I was happy with tf2 before the stupid jarate and razor back bollocks. Everything had a perfect counter.

76 new weapons and it gives me another axtinguisher

snipers fervently defending the new bodyshot rifle as being better because "it encourages teamwork" (totally has nothing to do with headshots)

5 euros for a weapon

TF2's in-game chat looks like a runescape market

more spies and snipers

no natascha fix

I am not impressed so far

Spidery_Yoda: Member; +399|6268

Well my main problem with this update is going to be fixed. The fact that the 'set hats' were needed for the set bonus and the fact that the only way to get them within the next 5 years was to buy them.

Thanks for the feedback, Max. We recognize this is an issue, so we're going to add a new crafting blueprint that specifically crafts item set hats.

Robin.

I reckon it's going to be a hell of an expensive craft though. Seeing as how each of the weapons costs 1 Weapon + 1 Reclaimed Metal. And that a class specific hat is 4 refined. So a specific specific brand new £15.99 hat must cost a looooooot of metal.
