ValveAwooo, folks! It’s almost that time of year again: Halloween. Normally that’d mean we’d be putting the final touches on our annual Halloween event, but this year we’re working on something even better: an all-new Pyro Pack, improvements to Comp Mode, and a big new update and campaign.
But that doesn’t mean Halloween’s cancelled. Next week, as always, every past Scream Fortress event will rise from the dead to terrorize your computers for a limited, horrifying time, including last year’s Merasmissions. We’ll also be shipping some community Halloween maps, all-new custom contracts for those maps, a new Halloween taunt, a new item that gives unusual effects to taunts, and a new cosmetics case!
And it wouldn’t be a Halloween pre-announcement blog post if we didn’t scare most of you TO DEATH. For instance: What if just now you heard the rattling moon-lit sound of a SKELETON? No, nothing? Everybody still alive? Okay, but what if that sound was coming from INSIDE YOUR OWN BODY? Because there’s a SKELETON in there RIGHT NOW? Oh, you already knew that, did you? Well, what if we were to tell you it’s STEVE BUSCEMI’S SKELETON? How did it get INSIDE you? What did he do with YOUR skeleton? Why don’t you ask him, because he’s RIGHT BEHIND YOU! No, look down! Farther! Because he’s just a puddle of flesh with two BULGING EYEBALLS staring up at you! And a SNAGGLE-TOOTH! That’s right, you just BODY-SHAMED STEVE BUSCEMI! Because it was YOU writing this blog post the WHOLE TIME! AWOOOOO!
Happy pre-Halloween, everyone who’s still alive after reading that! (Probably not many of you.)

but at least they're giving us some bare-bones communications.

For those who don't check reddit, there was this thread posted a day ago.
It sucks that once again reddit's the only place getting a proper response from valve, but it's a lot better than no communication so I'm not complaining.

Valve always rolls out a blogpost right before Halloween.
It's been tradition since 2013.
It isn't because of this thread I'm pretty sure

I mean, the issue is that unusuals being in crates doesn't make a lot of sense, and the unusual taunt market is awful right now, due to their insane rarity.
This will probably make unusual taunts far more common and available, thus crashing their price. Which can be good!

Considering I don't own any unusual taunts, I am in favor of their price falling.

I'm really looking forward to the pyro changes. These could turn out to be really good.

To be honest, this sounds pretty good to me, as unspecific as it is.
Maybe I am just desperate for anything, but fair play.

Wooooo Valve's giving us some info.
Also I'd like an unusual Director's Cut!

i think pubs already have enough problem with serial taunt spammers without giving people more of a reason to farm uses.

I must say I'm glad they prioritized Pyro update and comp mode over making a new silly halloween mode, bumper cart style.

I guess halloween updates will be primarily community content from now on, but if that means the dev team fix core game stuff instead of two weeks worth of content... gr8

I agree. They don't mention at all any ideas or thoughts they have on these upcoming changes they're making- just "yeah [in some completely unspecified time frame] we will add a class pack for pyro" is useless, we already knew that.

"we're working on improving comp MM". That's hardly a progress update. It has zero news value, actually, since we already knew this.
