Team Fortress 2 thread V2: The Gun Mettle update is LIVE

http://www.teamfortress.com/blizzbobarrabas/

New MvM map…with zombie versions of the TF2 classes.

Oh wow, so we can finally fight that darn magician.

Halloween comic is too funny :rofl:

Hopefully with the new private gift boxes, I can finally collect all the costumes from 2011 and the paper bag masks from 2010

Update just downloaded for me.

The executioner’s hood and the pyro hood are going to cost a fortune this weekend. Witch hat and Spy scarecrow face are kinda cool. Rest of the Halloween items are eh.

I really like the new Lakeside map. Fighting Merasmus is fun (if not very long), the random events that happen (small head mode, etc.) are entertaining, and I love the new lines they gave the classes, as well as Merasmus’s voice.

Also, what do you guys think of my Guile-themed Soldier?

That’s pretty clever lol.

Merasmus was a bitch to fight, so I went engy and set up a wrangled sentry nest on one of the towers near the point. You can either sentry jump up there or wait for a antigrav/superjump tarot card. Needless to say, heavies and snipers loved me for it :D.

Only downside is that if you die with a wrangled sentry, the opposite team will suffer until you respawn. Usually not more than 1 or 2 casualties though.

Thank you.

Huntsman Snipers can do a great deal of damage to Merasmus (360, 1080 if stunned).

You can now vote for submissons in the second annual Saxxies. Replays are pretty meh this year, but I see a lot of talent in some of the Source Filmmaker submissons!

New update coming soon…

Adult Swim DLC for TF2 coming also…

has anyone used that community market thing? how does it even work?

also the adult swim stuff looks hilarious

oh man mecha engineer

isn’t that like broken

what if they built sentries with legs

ewww

I would always see like one or two of you playing this shit and I would join you, but you’re always gone before the game even ends…sometimes before it even loads. It made me sad at first but then I I was like fuck it. Now I dont even bother looking to see if anyone is on. sad times.

Are we friends on steam? Hit me up if we are, I’ll play if we’re both on no matter what.

the update is up. hopefully the download won’t take too long.

the sentry buster proves they can attach legs to basically anything, doesn’t it?

what’s up with all these new users with nonsensical usernames

They are bots…and they copy old posts.
They are getting smarter.

Finally found an excuse to install Linux on my PC!
