The answer is obviously to get rid of the Halloween/Full Moon restriction completely, though it.would bring up a minor issue of what to do about the Eternaween item(maybe have it enable stuff like spells, ghosts, and skeletons spawning instead*)

*maybe even the Halloween bosses if we want to go full crazy

Halloween maps should be available in matchmaking during full moons.

Yeah embracing the madness is an option and by far the easiest one, plus it would drive up the value of some of those Halloween hats even more.

Also Halloween maps during full moons would be awesome.

Love how he integrated the Pyrovision shtick. The imaginary conversation with the engineer regarding the DH soldier VS the real one cracked me up.

As always that was really good, though I do wish he could have spent some time on talking about Flare Guns(sort of how he overly focused on Rocket Jumping in his Soldier video)

Step 1: Play Helltower
Step 2: At the end of the round, everyone goes to hell. Survive Hell long enough to reach the thingy at the end of Skull Island
Step 3: Now you have an empty spellbook, fill it with the pages that drop randomly. After you add 3 pages it becomes usable.

The remade map is somehow worse, it's even easier to lock down A as red.

It's such a drag. All I want from a medic on my team is the occasional overheal before I go get myself killed. And if you're fighting against it, not only are you going up against a medic-combo, but also you're forced into lesser damage, plus the threat of its charge being ready to pop off at any moment. It's frustrating, watered-down nonsense all around.

I dunno, I think it can be fun to use if you're in the right mindset, even if in general it's worse than the other three medi-guns

Also they really should have released medi-guns with the MvM shield and resurrection effects as their Ubers, both would have been fun to mess with even if they probably wouldn't be as strong as Stock or Kritz

vac can be fun to use, but is always really really annoying for everyone on the other team

Butt Detective

Only the dead can know peace from these hats.
Vacc is good for keeping one or two people alive, but awful for the rest of the team. It's also hard to use well since you have to learn to read the situation, know what resistance you need to use/prioritise AND know the resistance order so you can quickly switch to it and pop it and not accidentally put on fire resistance when there's a crit rocket flying your way. It's nice that it gives Medic a more active role though, rather than just passively healing.

This is just in regular pubs though, it's definitely more frustrating to play against when there's a smaller number of players.

I remember once shortly after the vaccinator came out I was on a server where some heavy had 2 vaccinator buddies with him basically making him constantly immune to everything. They were obviously co-ordinating over skype or some other voice chat thing because they were really ontop of it.

All their planning and they forgot the third degree existed, they rage quit before the end of the round. I don't think I killed the heavy once but killing both medics over and over was enough. :laugh:

Exploration is ill-advised.
The Third Degree is otherwise near useless but seems absolutely hilarious when it does work. And probably made after Valve saw the Octo-Heavy in action. (especially since they made that a MvM boss)

Every time I've seen an octo-heavy in action it's lasted approximately 5 seconds before the heavy gets backstabbed or headshot

It's super bad, and makes the game worse. But that isn't exactly a unique thing for TF2 weapons these days.
