/tf2/ - Team Fortress 2

4 Weapon reskins actually, only three of which actually change things

But yeah it is bullshit how they're charging $2.00 for the chance to get something that you need to pay $2.50 to open

Don't forget the Scout's pistol firing animation change. Now it bucks out of his hands every fucking shot.

You guys feel dumb about not getting the pass and selling your first crates yet?

All I've even gotten so far is two of the small ones, and already $3 overall profit for playing a game I enjoy. It's hilarious to see the entire TF2 community bitching about how they can't get any crate drops because they all saw the crate prices on day 2, bought the pass too late, and are now waiting around hoping to break even as the price keeps plummeting and everyone realizes that the crates are going to drop through the end of the entire year. This hilarious bullshit brought to you by scout mains who NEED A BATSABER RIGHT NOW MOM. I saw someone wanting to trade an unusual (garbage, some gym rat, but still)…for a strange batsaber. And at the time, I'd have had to trade away an unusual's worth of stuff to get one and take him up on it. That's how HYPE this is. OMG LIGHTSABERZ EPIK

>2fort - pretty cool re-skin, lots of eyecandy, absolutely zero special gameplay

>watergate - fun and unpredictable novelty gamemode, good for identifying retards who cannot understand how to put together two obvious unique gameplay features without help…actual map is interesting but full of inconvenient spots where you get stuck on the scenery, and the beam is glitchy. Also, the majority of the fighting doesn't matter at all and the only incentive for it is the leader heal, but the grouping effect this has is nearly useless for protecting the leader because of the leader tracking outline. Actually has UFO interaction!

>probed - Actually has UFO interaction, beam actually works well (but too well, and doesn't last quite as long as it should), has the inside of a UFO, has otherworld environment damage (albeit completely unexplained) and buff portals…but still no aliens, and actually no special gameplay features past regular KoTH, just occasional-access buff chamber. Actual map is cramped and super generic KoTH with just enough vantage points and open spaces (all right around the point) for engies, heavies and snipers to camp at unprecedented levels. Whoever has the most heavies/engis will win the round regardless of most other factors.

>Byre openly has not a single fucking thing to do with the update or the theme and has less map features and more random shit thrown in the way of getting a clear shot

>invasion coin still seemingly on the fence about whether it's tracking kills or kills + assists, and whether it has strange ranks or not

>servers full of people hilariously praying for crate drops and raging about not getting crates; prices for a single crate still around the price of the ticket itself, and likely won't drop much below $1 until the drop refresh Thursday when everyone realizes that oh yeah, they're just crates and they'll be dropping through the end of December

>the community items I've seen so far are…meh

Is it bad how much I'm enjoying this hot mess of an update?
