Meet the Pyro Update: EVERYONE'S A ROBOT!
Raid mode vs robot copies of the mercs? DR. ROBOTNIK IS TAKING OVER!

I think it's in RED spawn, it's inaccessible unless you go into no-clip though.
ANOTHER MAJOR UPDATE COMING BELIEVE
Honestly the last real content update was in June with the Uber update. We've gotten a few weapons, hats, and maps since then, but no real big game-changing updates (although loadouts was pretty big). Raid mode was leaked last APRIL and we still haven't seen it.

Raid Mode and Meet the Pyro will launch the same day as Episode 3. Believe it.
It'd be nice just to have a different skin for BOTs in general. At first glance, they look like an ally, and then suddenly you see a weird eye or metal hinge instead of an elbow. Would also make players more forgiving of them.
Edit: Apparently you can hear when a Spy uses the ice melt. I'm not sure if it's because Tenck switched to it rather than held it to be safe, but just listen closely next time.
Really? How much now...?

hahahaha
It makes a distinct sound.
My original thought was that only the Spy heard it. If everybody can hear it, like a mini-dead ringer, then I now approve of it more.

After more fiddling with the Manmelter, I found that you have to use alt fire to absorb the fire from team mates to get crit charges. Here I was thinking I had to shoot them with the flare... But it has a nifty little particle effect when using alt fire. Major problem is that everyone freaking runs away making it impossible to get the charges.
Still don't like it much! Too slow for me... Gotta spam them Detonators!

Which reminds me, I need a Manmelter.

Best WTF moment of the night
The Space weapons drop and can be crafted via luck (tokens).
The christmas items are ONLY obtainable via crates. Considering how good the icicle is, it's pretty stupid.

Didn't we all already agree this update was going to suck based entirely on the Halloween update?

I haven't booted up the game in ages but am I the only one who really hates the idea of the new engineer wrench?
What do you hate about it exactly?
I had ZERO idea what was going on when that happened. WTF moment indeed.

Giving the engineer the ability to teleport back to spawn any time they want seems to remove a huge vulnerability and seems like a cheap way to help people build faster during setup.

At the expense of:
Needing to walk back to the action
Being unable to carry sentry and teleporter out of harm's way when you eventually get there and the fight has started
The teleport takes about 3 seconds before you actually warp and you can't move your buildings. Right now engineers just build their stuff at spawn and then haul them to the front lines. So I don't see how it's any different. If anything, hauling is probably faster, because, on any decent server, people will go engineer during setup to help you build yup all your stuff at spawn quickly, then change back to whatever class they actually intend to play.
Wait, what? I just literally found a youtube video that showed how to craft the spy-cicle. *edit* So apparently you can't buy the items in the store, and only only gamble with crates, weird.
Maybe Valve will add some items that can only be purchased in the future and can't be crafted or randomly found at all.
I think the idea is that you have a teleporter exit set up so you can take your teleporter back to the front lines after you go back for metal or to do something at spawn.

I was under the impression that the new weapons will be obtainable by the general public after the Christmas crates are discontinued. If this turns out not to be the case, I will get genuine annoyed at Valve.

I'm hoping this to be the case. Because I was really pissed with the summer crates. I spent $5 on keys, got the golf club and the postal pummeler. I was happy because I thought they'd be only obtainable by the crates. But then Valve made them both dropable... I was pissed.... $5 wasted for nothing.
But I learned my lesson.
I'm waiting this time.
As it says on the update page, you will be able to get the community items through other means from next thursday.

Probably not the festive items though.

I had the same summer experience. I opened like 4 to 6 crates. The only worthy item was the spy turtleneck, which dropped in value like crazy anyway. I learned my lesson and sold my winter crates for metal right away. I actually hope I get some more winter crates so I can sell them too.
Speaking of which how much are naughty crates worth? I have one I'd like to trade/sell.

The pricing guide says from 2 scrap up to 2 reclaimed, but I just sold mine for a reclaimed+scrap each. Sold 5 within literally 60 seconds of putting the trade up on TF2TP.

Yeah I just put up 2 naughty crates for 1 refined. Got a request within a minute.
Yeah, they'll be available a week later, but my issue is that keeping gameplay-effecting weapons behind a paywall, even if it's just for a week, is shitty game design.

Yeah it sucks, but i'd rather have a really flexible system that they keep trying new things (i say this about our government as well but whatever). Sometimes it sucks, but sometimes you'll get some cool stuff. The amount of data they pull off the userbase must be telling them all sorts of stuff. Next time it will be different... Maybe.
Only Whoreleo can save us from the tyranny of bad maps and revive the server! Bonus points for choosing Gullywash.
Since our gentlemanly pact to not play Engineer on KOTH maps hasn't been working, I say we finally just ban KOTH Engies. They ruin the freedom of movement that makes KOTH fun with minimal effort on their part. If you want to drop sentries save it for Payload, a map type more about brute force charges than freedom of movement.
On the subject of which, all Payload maps should strive to be Upward. Open, lots of branching paths and flank routes, high skybox, good health and ammo distribution, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Badwater has a few of these right but makes some critical errors (doors that don't open until you make it so far into the map and a few obnoxious chokepoints) and Thunder Mountain is just too long: is there a way to only play 2-3 rounds of a random stage instead of all 6?

Yes!
Nothing aggravates me more in this game than sentries on KOTH maps, except for random crits. Random crits are the worst. Oh, and Heavy/Medic combos and Engies when there's less than 12 people on the server.
Heavy, medic (unless it's battle medic), engineer, scout, demoman, critical hits, and possibly soldiers are all rage-inducing when there are 12 people or less, I claim.
I like highlander if it's casuallander.
I don't know what that means. Is that one of the sequels?
