That would actually be fun. I usually don't participate in those types of things, but I'm starting to get bored with TF2 again so it would liven it up.

inb4 BRBu sniper team with the six best snipers of BRBu. 

We'll just get Caff, backfire, K2 and myself to vs you and win with flares.  :p

Don't forget to keep spinning in circles so they can't get headshots.

I was going to say l2dodge, but then this was said.

i spin in a circle every time i miss and jump

And it's oh so funny.

Edit: Played Scout tonight; I forgot how fun that class is. I did pretty well.

No, it's not the new promo items or making another promotion for a $45 game that pisses me off. Hell I don't even care about the art style, since different colored hats don't destroy the aesthetics of the map + character design. What does piss me off is that they gave the scout ANOTHER BLOODY MELEE WEAPON!


And it's a reskin of the basher. And knowing valve they didn't include any new animations, so expect scouts swinging swords like a bat.

Oh and I guess equipping any of those three items instantly crashes the server... how do you even mess that up?

The pendent is pretty cool though.

And I wear the hair because long hair scout makes me giggle.

You don't have to create several images, database queries, php code changes into the stats for each and every weapon Valve 'releases'.

Todays update notes got me excited with "Added an Advanced Options button to the main menu to allow tweaking of many gameplay options" when it's just the multiplayer->advanced menu.

Witcher 2 items now trade-able.

I want that hat!  >

http://www.teamfortress.com/saxxyawards/winners.php

Saxxy awards are being announced. They're revealing the winner for each category every 5 minutes.

[Kirby]

Mandatory server update:

Team Fortress 2
- Added the Saxxy
- Updated the kill icons
- Updated the vote system
  - Added a convar to prevent voting on the next level if one has already been set (sv_vote_issue_nextlevel_prevent_change)
  - Fixed scrambleteams resetting how many rounds have been played
     - Updated mp_scrambleteams to support a parameter of 2, which prevents resetting the number of rounds that have been played
  - Fixed the server automatically creating votes while in training or using itemtest

replays still get corrupted without fail @ 10 minutes until nextmap, and sourcetv still leaks memory like a stuck pig.



BUT WE HAVE NEW KILL ICONS GUIES!




-edit-



Server patch log:



Upon close examination, we see what the Saxxy does.

It's a melee weapon that "weapons/saxxy_turntogold_05.wav"


OH HEY GUYS THEY RESKINNED THE GOLDEN WRENCH.
