In a typical oversight, Valve allowed sentries to remain up when melee mode is triggered ruining it for everyone.

Or a koth version of Lumberyard. Remember Lumberyard

The Halloween/carnivalization of the map is pretty weak too, but I guess most of them outside of Mann Manor are, and that was a special case. I did laugh at "THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN MAN AND CHILD" though

If you have a Hallowe'en item equipped you should be able to see other people's Hallowe'en items like Pyroland. Also add the Rose Tinted Glasses that stop all cosmetics from rendering. Also make all non-achievement items reskins of stock weapons. These are my demands

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

How safe is Steam Achievement Manager, is there a safest way of using it (eg in game, in a server, what?)? I'll never get that ugly halo thanks to the first time I used it.

e: also why do the karts handle SO BAD. I want a handbreak so badly.

There's no reason to worry. I'm almost positive it doesn't hook into the hl2.exe at all which is what VAC bans look for.

Also not getting the hat was from using Drunken Fool's exe that idled in a command prompt. I didn't get one either (and then lost my Miner's Light and Respectless Rubber Glove :( ) but in the Mannconomy update they ended up giving it to everyone for some reason and I got one then

Find out who's good in your team (probably the soldier or demo) and heal them exclusively. If it's Christmas Day maybe toss out a few heals to snipers and pyros when they come limping up

Medic holds a special place in my heart as the first class I played back in 2007, when I was a scant 16 years of age and unaware that this game would snatch 3000 hours of my life from me. Everything in the game felt bold and polished. To go back to those halcyon days in Gravelpit...

Add

code:
bind w "say Winners don't use drugs; +forward"
bind a "say Winners don't use drugs; +left"
bind s "say Winners don't use drugs; +backward"
bind d "say Winners don't use drugs; +right"

I probably messed this up, I haven't looked at binds in a while

oddium

Actual good use for binds: there's a set of binds that makes you immediately move in a direction you push while still holding down another direction key (so pressing left will move you left if you're still holding down right) where normally you would freeze in place as they cancel each other out I think ??

I also use a medic bind that immediately takes out the medigun and ubers when I press mouse2, for when I don't have the medigun out for whatever reason

"If ya didn't want me to kill ya, ya should of said some thing"

I've only really just started playing scout a lot in the last few months after getting a new computer. That is the first time I've heard that line? TF2's voice shouts (what ever you call them) are still the best after all these years of play, far more rewarding than some flashy medal or achievement popping up on screen.

That line just made me laugh, I'd love to know what triggered it.

If you want to take out the joy and surprise, you can methodically go through and listen to each one here

A good engineer is only second to a good medic when it comes to multiplying the force of the rest of the team. Good engies keep their teles up, their dispensers in a good spot, and their sentries in a spot that will either cut off flanking routes, act as a speed bump, and/or keep their tele/dispenser protected*. Unfortunately most pubbies instead see it as a class that has some uber-powerful fixed-position gun and use that to try and get kills.

*This is why I'm hardly ever rolling with the Gunslinger because minis are poo poo at keeping your other stuff alive. The only time I use them is when I'm actively trying to be a distracting rear end in a top hat.

A good Engineer is a dead Engineer. Cheers mate

Does anybody remember the Golden Wrenches? How if you crafted items at the right time, you would get one? And somebody somehow hacked the very first Golden Wrench, and was VAC banned for it?

The wrenches drop on an easily determined schedule, Drunken Fool (the guy who made the item idler + tf2items.com) figured it out and told some people who were able to craft exactly when they needed to
