all y'all hating on the skullcutter obviously aren't using it the proper ways

1. full-on tanky rear end in a top hat w/ the targe and booties

2. crank out that sticky jumper and proceed to not ever give a poo poo about the speed malus because you can fly

They just buffed the cutter so that you're only slow as gently caress when you've actually got it out.

I got a new shotgun out of my free sock and not only is it bad but its the second shotgun with an extended magazine tube that holds fewer shells than the stock shotgun. Why does this thing have a drum magazine and I'm feeding four shells at a time into it to fire it? Come on Valve.

The drum is an elaborate mechanism that removes the shot from the shells, tumbles them around, and then fires them off. This is why it has a wider, inaccurate spread.

It's kind of OP if you come up against someone who knows how to use it well. I guess you could say that of most weapons, but the short circuit seems to be especially irritating.

Oh, in that sense. Yeah I've had fun with it on quite a few Payload servers. :allears:

It's a shame they went and nerfed values as well. Midrange stickies can hurt a lot or a little. When you find yourself in a demo's optimal range, the amount of damage you take depends on how you move to dodge and how well the demo predicts. I think most of the complaining about airdet stickies has been because your everyday joe player doesn't pay attention to the stickies being fired at them like they would a rocket. A more defined silhouette is a really good change for stickies.

So I cracked open my stocking for this this year. What a gyp. The usual giftpult, Mann up ticket, name and desc tags and a welcome backpack extender. What's my random items? A Cleaner's Carbine, a Natascha, and a Connivers Kunai. Not even festives. No festive hat or misc either. Basically my bonus loot was 1.5 scrap. I know I'm bitching about something I got for free, but it really does seem cheap of Valve not to at least let me roll one item from the festive update. To make things worse, I'm a terrible Sniper, a godawful Spy, and at best a mediocre Heavy who sticks with the stock minigun anyway. It just feels like a bit of a kick in the balls, y'know?

Yeah I got something similar. Not sure why they didn't put at least one random Holiday item in there.

Best part about grappling, from what I've experienced.

Go Backburner Pyro. Find a doorway that the enemy keeps coming through. Grapple yourself *and don't let go* directly above the doorway. As enemies come out, they completely ignore you 2 feet above their heads, allowing you to drop down and get your sweet sweet back crits, and immediately grapple above the doorway again preparing for your next foe.

I played TF2 for 6 hours in a row last night. I haven't done that since MVM first came out.

They really don't care about weapons looking like they're supposed to. See; the Loch-n-Load's new clip size.

Also, the shotgun was originally supposed to be the Raiding Aid, and they forgot to change its kill icon to the new model. The stats make a lot more sense with that model.

Add a new shotgun, make the new one use the current Panic Attack model, then give the Panic Attack the Raiding Aid model.

It already happened with a hat, it can be done again.

Grapple CTF makes me very happy. Good memories of Threewave CTF and Quake 2 CTF. Wonder if Zoid had anything to do with the gamemode.

Kind of a shame that you can't use your weapon while on the grapple, but I'm not sure how that would affect balance.

I do this already with the Detonator and certain door frames allowing you to stand on them. I'm glad Valve has decided to balance the game to my gameplay :allears:

So, when you get to duck level 20, there's still an Xp bar to level until 21. I was kind of hoping it topped out at 20 -- guess I have until Jan 5 to find out.

I knew there was something up with the weapon, people kept mentioning problems with the mod.
Every day I thought I'd fix it some other day.

Well, I'm still real happy about the sticky launcher, and I really love how Valve has not forgotten the old workshop submissions.
I made the launcher about three years ago.

As much as I want people to keep buying stuff to fund the game. If you want a specific item trade/buy it. Keys/boxes are just like throwing money away. I see so many streamers/players/games writers who seem otherwise perfectly sensible spend ridiculous amounts on nothing.

Pulling the lever on a slot machine costs less than buying a crate key. If you're gonna gamble your life away go to Vegas and gamble for real money, like the real pros do. Then become an alcoholic and die

I used to buy keys to trade for games.

My last purchase was Tomb Raider GOTY and Transistor for 3 keys each before Valve ruined everything. I really hope they rollback the region locks, steam sales aren't cheap enough for my spoiled tastes.

My favorite part of super fast grapple hook mode is when you have the intel and have to wait 5 minutes for your team to kill the person with your intel so you can actually cap it. Except they never do, and after several minutes of nothing happening a vampire scout or something gets the drop on you and you die and they cap instead.
