Nah add a third chamber for added sillyness

Does anyone have a link to the new festive/community items? I want to look at them and pictures are not showing in the thread for some reason

Jesus, Baby Face's Blaster + Strength rune can really wreck faces, especially if you can monopolize the Quad Crit powerup.

Strength by itself is enough for that, you do insane damage even with poo poo weapons like the SMG.

I think strength also removes damage drop off, or at least it seems to because I was getting 90+ damage shots from really far off.

So the new shotgun takes a while to load up four shells and then fires them....consecutively.

:negative:

I should have assumed that.

it needs a shitload of balance, but i suppose that's what beta status is for

otherwise: pretty cool, and should be cooler if they work out ways to keep the crazy poo poo crazy while not enabling any single class to be practically unparalleled

It's crazy imbalanced but it's also the first time in the history of the game that CTF has been fun, so at least there's that. The Heavy should probably move slower while grappling or something to that effect. Less health for vampirism/warlock would be nice, too.

Played for a bit tonight as demo. Loch is still dangerous; it's not owning scouts in one shot but with 124 damage even shooting them once is enough to get most low health classes to run off. The iron bomber is a lot of fun to use too; the grenade balls make a satisfying thunk as they are shot out and they basically stay where they land. Great for making choke points.

I usually run loch targe and caber; switched the loch for the bomber for a bit. 500 ducks to go til level 20.

I keep getting a really annoying error. Something about not being VAC Secure. I've done all the stuff it says on their website but I keep getting it. I can play fine for like 30 minutes and then I'm not allowed on any server anywhere.

I decided to reward Valve for releasing content than is gameplay related and actually really fun, and bought some keys for the winter crates. Guess what I got? Absolutely jack poo poo. I don't know what I expected.

Well this update seems fun, hopefully I'll be able to get on tonight. Without having played it at all the demo nerf looks far more reasonable and well thought out than the previous one and the new weapons look interesting.

How big is the beta update to get the new modes?

You're controlling powerups instead of... powerups and weapons, but I think the parallel still applies.

Any game that draws inspiration from the grappling hook and powerup shenanigans of Agent Under Fire is a good game, now all TF2 needs is remote-controlled tanks and helicopters from Nightfire and it's basically perfect

What's the chance of getting a Festive weapon in a naughty crate?

Festive, 100%. Strange Festive, something like 5%? Idk, used to be around 20%.

Aaah, the grappling hook, I haven't seen that since Quake 1. Actually that list of powerups looks familiar. Goddamit where did I put my cosmetics I used to make the soldier look like quake guy??

Also that new shotgun can by used by Heavy, Soldier, Pyro and Engie! It is basically the beggars bazooka shotgun, you load up 4 shells, as soon as the 4th is in it fires, so the moment your third shell is in you better be aiming at your target. The health related spread is an interesting gimmick, however, the spread gets way too wide and by the time you have so little health you wanna take advantage of the fast shooting, it's useless outside of melee range anyway so just use your pointy stick or big rock.

It might be fun for fat scout, or perhaps chaos engy, but the existing alternative shotguns for all classes are kinda too good to use this much.

edit: However an escape plan + panic gimmick might be fun, run up behind people, then unload 4 shells into their butt at close range.

through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.
I gave three naughty crates and a bunch of nice crates to a guy in a Valve pub, since I wasn't going to do anything with them, and he unboxed two Festive SMGs and one Strange Festive SMG. What are the odds on that? :classiclol:

I'm irrationally angry that with the LnL having three pipes "Loch, stock and two smoking barrels" isn't the perfect name for a LnL any more.

I guess the model still has two barrels but..
