also did anyone notice you can hover over that parrot's head and decapitate it?

arg incoming...

But that's what the first 2 days are meant to be, they don't release the good stuff until the last 2 days.

Yeah I get that. I think there are other ways to handle the casual side content though and I'm not personally a fan of doing it through just excess weapon skins and community maps. I do like the revised contract system.

do you all think there's going to be some major change to the game UI? it seems as if the contracker or whatever would be out of place in the current setup, but knowing valve they can certainly hack it in

the only reason i'm holding out any hope is because fixing pyro is a dangerous game that, if done wrong, can and will piss off every single person playing the game for different reasons, so even the people who thought that the reserve shooter could use a buff are going to understand that they need to do a lot more than surface-level changes. it's probably why this took so long to update tbh, pyro is the end result of programmers dicking around without being willing to fix stuff for a full decade

it's reasonable to be cautious, though, valve hasn't exactly earned much trust from comp play from the years of goofy shit they've said and done

banana skin on my original, do it for the culture

I really think you might be onto something here, i'd be surprised if that's an unlock.

if im understanding war paint correctly, war paint could lead to being the equivalent of stickers in cs
i will put all my money on an ascent print

so can we put war paint on the strange items we already have.

did you even read the post

that's like, the entire reason it exists

source 2 incoming

Except, uuuuuhhhhhh, heavy is holding a banana?

I wonder what more is there except balance changes and weapons

Changes about Casual and (Valve) Competitive, I presume.

With the new skins coming out, will original get a skin?

I bet original isn't getting a skin because it is a promo item.

I really do hope the banana heavy is eating at the bottom of the page is a sandvich reskin

did you even read the post

it says that you're not going to use the items you already have, so if you want a strange war painted item you need to unbox/get strange war paint itself.

If I cannot paint my Original with Freedom Wrapped, I'll be very, very sad.

strange how there weren't any stock weapons in that war paint pile of weapons (that i could see)

Surely they would allow us to put them on stock weapons...ri-right?

nigga did you just stutter in a forum post

It appears I did

Sorry if I'm late but FFA is mentioned in the Contracker?

^^ could just mean "get kills, fulfill contract" but an official DM mode would be cool

expectations for the next two days based on previous information:

- heckin lots of weapon rebalances. this is what I'm most excited for. just un-garbage everything, please.
- competitive matchmaking rework (real elo system and placement matches based on some interview from ValveNN)
- i'm not hopeful that they'll re-enable joining friends in casual mm games through steam based on the contracts-stuff.
- pyro weirdness fixes & unlocks.
- rd_asteroid and pl_cactuscanyon hello ??

i don't even know what i want them to do with pyro. i would be okay with them removing mini-crits from deflected projectiles, and make airblasts not completely cancel any momentum you have.
pyro has been the most unfun class to play against since i started playing in 2011 save for when heavies could instaheal by dropping their sandvich and walk over it.

I'm both hyped and scared about this update.
Because it could be really great or so bad it makes the game unplayable and resulting in many fans being pissed and leave the game. And is that happens the TF team would just give up on the game.

Valve knew that we were going to look at that image, and they knew we would get hard with the phrase free for all, I don't think they'd tease us like that for no reason.

im sad because i will not be able to buy the pass after 1 year of waiting :(

FFA in TF2? god no
and we already have a bunch of tdm maps like landfall, turbine, 2fort, hightower,...

before the pyro fix and balance changes hit, do you think the changes will successfully save the game from death?
