Team Fortress 2: Halloween Update

That’s right sissies of all ages, a new TF2 update.

https://www.teamfortress.com/

and the halloween update here: https://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/

It is supposed to come out late night today (october 29), the update (Day 1?) brings a brand new King Of The Hill map called Harvest. All that I can speculate to it is that the ghosts might stun you if you look close enough and straight at them, and that there are explosive pumpkins which probably act like barrels. There are also 5 new hats, all of them tied to an achievement and 1 of them tied to both a soldier-type of win and an achievement. The Ghostly Ghibus hat can be obtained by getting to the site it is hidden or dominating someone who has it while playing KOTH_Harvest.

This made me jizz, how about you?

Also I’ll edit this post if a day 2 comes out.

There was also a bug that caused many players to gain 2-7 hats at one moment.

Now I just have to go dominate someone to get a hat? Awesome.

Also, don’t double post. There is a reason the edit button is in the corner of your post.

#3

Also the paper-bag hat requires you to kill 20 people in the map and get candy.

And I’ll keep that in mind.

Dammit, I arrived on the hat page the moment they stopped giving them away, and started the dominations thing. Not hard to do, but annoying that I missed the free for all at the start.

A mate of mine played for a couple hours today and managed to get all of the achievements. He said it was pretty damn easy!

=D

#6

I got the hat from the page. Got one of the last ones, as when I told a couple mates they’d run out of hats. I now have two Ghastly Gibus hats, one from the Steam sign up and the other from the domination achievement. Got the other achievements this morning. Nice and simple, just what a 3 day event needs.

#7

Yes… I got 2 Pickelhauben for the Medic…
Also me and my clan are making a private server today to get this achies/hats in a short time :smiley:

Shut up you fat, bald b*stard :slight_smile:

I got all the achievements today, the hardest part was finding a 24 slot vanilla-ish server that played Harvest.

In a crazy attempt to bump this thread VALVe is selling Team Fortress 2 for 2.49$ US until 7:00 PM PST. It’s craaaaazy!

#10

It’s OOOVER! And was over last night. Unless they’re doing it again.

#11

I FRICKIN BOUGHT TF2 RIGHT NOW FOR $2.50 HOLY CRAP I LOVE YOU VALVE

#12

Got both the hats. To bad they’re halloween only. Pumpkin bombs are fun, though.

#13

This is not a drill! T-Minus 30 minutes until the sale ends!

#14

Got all the achievements except killing a spy disguised as my class :smiley:

#15

Does the special map remain after the event?

#16

Possibly, but they might not make it halloween themed after.

#17

Goddamn I missed the $2.50 sale twice. Gotta be fucking kidding me…

Ugh. I’ve been wanting to try a demo if they released another class update, but I’d spent $2.50 for it in a heartbeat…hell, even $5-10 in a second. Bleh.

#18

The game is a steal anyways at 20 dollars, I would even pay 50 for the game.

#19

Well, I bought FRAPS two days ago ($37), will likely buy L4D2 ($50?), and Black Mesa will also be out within the next few months…not sure how much time I’d even spend playing TF2, hence my hesitation to spend $20 on it.

#20

I got the sale the second time around. Or, rather, my friend got it for me. friends with debit cards are great :rolleyes:
