The conclusion we can reach is Badlands is the Best Map. I yearn for cp_badlands_event with just the spooky ghosts and maybe curses. And then imagine, cp_badlands_xmas. This is living

Despite it being the best koth map and having a health kit under the point!

Been playing helltower and it's so much more fun. The only reason to keep playing doomsday event is for the cheevos.

QwertySanchez posted:Would the spire then be on a giant christmas tree? This just reminded me of a map I really wanted to make years ago. I wanted it to be 5CP themed around a fantasy swamp/bog with bright blue/yellow lights/fireflies, similar to this:  Though with more trees/huts to block sniper vision. And the center of the map would be a giant stump with the center CP on it (with various bridges/paths to it). TF2 really needs more map variety in terms of theming!

I actually never noticed those were huge trees because the game is so muddy up close (and I haven't played it much) Basically that except no scifi, yeah. Maybe combine it with logging themes (why the huge tree in the middle is gone) to add some more elements to the map.

Doomsday is a good map to run around on and mess with people. I like nailing snipers from across the map with my Scorch Shot and airblasting people into the hole next to the health in that big trench. I also like getting four reflect kills in one group when a bunch of dopes are at the top of the objective and someone shoots a rocket at me. Just be a maniac and go everywhere, never stop moving forward, completely ignore the briefcase. All that being said, I don't think this year's event is as fun as Helltower and I don't think Merasmus has that same kind of goofy feeling to him. He was great in his own event, but it feels like they tried to hard to Out-Merasmus themselves with his chatter and it doesn't sound very sincere.

My favorite part: On traditional sd_doomsday, there's always tons of snipers. On doomsday_event, there's (normally) very few snipers, and the sniper deck that is so lit up in the standard map is veeerry dark and hardly visible from the platform. My Sydney Sleeper (and free untradable Mr. Mundee's Wild Ride) have been seeing a lot of use this Halloween.

CoolCab posted:I was trying to teach a friend Demoman and his reaction to doing well was "well that doesn't count, of course I'm going to do well if they just run on top of my obvious traps!" Seriously, forget airbursting and all that bullshit. I often topscore as Demo just by locking down one major route with a trap. The best way to kill a demo is to hit them when they run out of ammo. Taking a surprise 250 damage around as you go around a corner, then facing down a demo with both weapons fully loaded - it's an uphill battle at best.

When did Valve add the Community Market feature letting people place a standing order to buy keys if they're ever listed below a certain price? It certainly seems to have brought up the price of keys there.

It certainly seems to have brought up the price of keys there. It started with trading cards, and they add it to more items every few months. You can place orders on killstreak recipe parts and most single-use items.

Cool how if I want some cool lookin poo poo its like $300 for the pack. Good poo poo OP Nah I just got a gift drop on a Valve lakeside_event map like 10 minutes ago. So the cool thing about this Halloween event is that I've been logging in every 3 hours or so if it's convenient and collecting a gift from lakeside, maybe playing for 5-20 minutes for the hell of it. Including all the stupid poo poo I've bought so far, I'm up over $4 from selling poo poo, without idling or farming multiple accounts.
