The New Team Fortress 2 Update (Mann-Conomy Store)

Post by DisConnected »

Because I actually care what you all think of it, what do you think of it?

Valve store, although not the best, since you can't craft or trade the bought items, is a smart move on Valve's side. Especially the whole key thing. I am extremely tempted to spend 50$ in those name tags and name all of my weapons something clever, and yet incredibly gay, then see how many remarks I get.

I've also been hearing about a Vin-Saw or something like that, that lets you save 20% of your uber when you die. It real?

I like the new weapons, atleast for pyro. The defensive buff banner is also pretty cool, although I prefer it have more effect, like 50% of damage absorbed. New sniper rifle is just plain gay, you just get shot in the foot and you're already covered in Jarate for enough time for a heavy to come and blast your ass away.

Trading is funny, everyone's all asking for weapons, and also saying extremely nerdy trading card things like "I'll trade you my awsome Vintage Level 99 Natascha for 6 scrap metal." Have I said this? Yes. Does that make me a bad person? No, it just makes me a disgrace.

SO WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK OF IT?

Traded my Vintage Tippler's Tricorne for a Vintage Trophy Belt

Reason I traded the Tricorne: don't like play Demoman class too much,I frequently or ocasionally play Sniper class.

That Vin-saw is called Vita-saw. It's a reference to bioshock. Yes you get to keep 20% of your uber when you die.

It is a secret drop however. So you can't buy or craft it.

Powerjack is the most overkill pyro melee weapon out there. No questions asked.

I could tear through offline practice just using the powerjack.

Love the "The Black Box", and now, i waiting to get the new hammer for the Pyro.

Trade, minigames and more options are good. The shop, maybe will be good if VALVe put down the prices (14,99$ a new hat, oh sh*t).

I like the update a lot, the new sniper rifle is really unique. The rest of the weapons are pretty balenced except the new pyro hammer, which is pretty much a straight upgrade.

I dunno about you guys, but... I think everything is a little pricey. When I can buy my friend the Valve Complete Pack off steam for $70 or so, and all those Mann Co. items are $50, it makes me wonder what Valve was thinking...

Either way, all the new weapons and hats are pretty cool. I especially like people colouring the demo's fro gold. :lol:

Already starting off on the wrong foot with the admins... wonderful. :(

I traded my brainslug and medic mask for an ultra rare soldier stash.

The heart doesn't work very well in thirdperson, its supposed to float around the hat.

And i gave 2 hats to Key and helped her out with a refined metal. <3

Me and Fox crafted hats together.

He crafted a Demo specific hat.
I crafted a Soldier specific hat.

One can say we were extremely lucky.

(I'm not sure how to properly use img tags).

That's actually the guitar taunt, but I switched from the Powerjack and he air guitars now.

Showing off my new mexican hat and my dueling badge. My plan is to use my name tag and then color it purple to make something involving the words "Hot" and "Pimp."

Edit: I just found out it's an ultra rare hat. So thats a score.
