Well they showed off a new halloween themed map in the 2nd most recent blog post. It was one of the winners of the art pass contest:

So I reckon it's pretty likely that they'll do something.

Rocket Jumper nerf makes me facepalm.

I really don't understand Valve...

The only possible explanation I can think of is 0.00001% of TF2 players RJing around the map shotgunning people.

Solly not being "shoot feet get kills"....we can't have that, so it needs a nerf.

Meanwhile, in Natasha land...

Actually it was because the Equalizer taunt wouldn't damage you at all if you had rocket jumper.

So?

Why not make all taunts suicides then?

"Mann Manor is haunted by the Horseless Headless Horsemann."

I'm looking forward to giving this a go later. And wearing my paper bag hat.

Well well well.

Looks like they want you to buy halloween hats as well.

Pricks.

Yeah that's retarded.

Oh well. I'm still looking forward to battling the horseless headless horseman later.

Picked up the metal drop from the headman and crafted the new Axe, it's completely cosmetic and otherwise identical to the demomans sword.

I'm sad that there's now a -100Hp attribute on the Rocket Jumper. I also really really don't understand it. Was it overpowered or something...? How can a weapon that does no damage be overpowered.

The addition of a Sticky Jumper is pretty cool but again it leaves you with 100Hp which means you'll instantly die to anything. I can understand a health penalty on the Sticky Jumper though because otherwise you'd be able to fly across the entire map instantly in one jump and then fight people with the grenade launcher. So there needs to be something holding you back there I suppose but only 100Hp is very very limiting.

I know they're supposedly 'training weapons' but it was fun to use the Rocket Jumper in actual games to quickly get around the map and then melee people. Now you'll just die trying . Most likely from fall damage...

Hey look it's the other half of that picture from last Halloween. I wonder if that means we'll see the middle person next year.

But it seems that you can't buy those 9 new paper bag hats. There's no shop button for them at least.

What do you guys think of the map? I think it's great, it looks really good, plays well. The HHH is hilarious.

I wish they had last years map though, KOTH was great there.

Oh and I have 2 medic hats if anyone wants to trade for another hat

Can't buy the new axe either.

I'm not bothered about the hats, none of them look very appealing to me. So i'll use my unusual metal to get the axe, when I eventually get enough refined metal.

As I said above, it's simply cosmetic.

And you can't trade it when you do craft it.

I expected nothing else since it's a very limited time item.

It's still better than the hats.

We should get a group of 6-9 players going and work together to get gifts for everyone.

Apparently, they spawn every 5m 20s and there have to be at least 6 players on the server (min. 10 players for the Haunted Headless Horsemann, so a maximum of 9 is good).

Getting 18 random hats from 18 randomly spawned gifts is utterly tedious on public servers. I for one haven't even seen a single gift.
Also, when several people stand on the slowly spawning gift, it is randomly decided who gets it, even if you were first.
