    Thoughts on the update. I haven’t posted recently since I didn’t think that me just ranting on a website would be interesting to people, but it looks like my lack of updates has been noticed.

    Well, let’s start with the bad first. The first thing that’s annoyed me a lot was the fact that the weapons from the update are hard to obtain now. The crafting recipes have been purposely made expensive in terms of items so that people would get frustrated into buying the new stuff. Most recipes ask for two reclaimed, and the demoboots require the new soldier boots. This just feels insulting to anyone that’s been playing the game recently because their drops have been capped for the week too. Feels like another cash-in.

    In the long run I think free to play is going to damage TF2. They’ve said they’ll be keeping an eye on people who use F2P as an unlimited source of accounts to be used for hacking on TF2, but let’s face it, the only thing VAC has going for it is the threat of losing the ability to play multiple games online. There’s also plugins already out that only let premium players join servers. This is going to splinter the community, which might not have fun consequences.

    On the flip side F2P means tons of newbies on the servers. It feels like playing TF2 years ago when people were still figuring everything out. This is probably going to get boring fast, but who knows, maybe it’s just a great time to try out that ridiculous loadout you were thinking of and do stupid things while getting away with it.

    Speaking of stupid things, new patches always introduce new bugs. The demoman can now cancel his charge and retain his energy, and he can charge midair. There’s a fun little bug that’s sort of hard to do that lets you leap across the map at high speeds. There’s also an easier thing to do which involves aircharging into an incline, but I’ll get to those later.

    Can’t think of a lot else now. The main thing on my mind is just GIMME THOSE DAMN WEAPONS, VALVE

    Behind the countdown…is another countdown.

    Well, at least we definitely know we’re getting Portal 2 early now. I suppose we’re all going to leave our games open now.

    The newest TF2 update is called The Hatless Update. There’s no new hats in it! That is if you don’t count the update before it which was exclusively hats. Ah, just joking, at least Valve noticed they were focusing too much on the wrong things.

    Meanwhile there’s rumors Portal 2 may be coming out very early – like 7 hours from the time of this post early.

    They’re doing this thing where they’re dropping off all sorts of clues around steam games. It could be something about Episode 3. Either way, sit back and watch the fireworks.

    Portal2 is out for preordering on steam now. -10% off now, and it’ll come out in April. You’ll also get a  free copy of the first Portal, but heck, who doesn’t have that game.

    I wouldn’t normally talk about the exclusive TF2 things you’d get for preordering RIFT, but apparently the afterburn on the new axe lasts forever due to a bug. Or it’s intentional. The good news is that we’ll be able to craft the new items after March. The players who preordered the items will get a ‘genuine’ tag and a green name on them. The funny thing is that the genuine tag goes away if you trade the item.

    Late edit: As you might’ve read in the comments, the items don’t lose their status after being traded. Not like this is a good thing.

    If you’re feeling a bit bored of the usual you should give Monday Night Combat a shot.

    For around 10$ it’s actually…quite fun! It’s sort of a combination between a third person shooter and dota. Oh, and there will apparently be some cross-game content for everyone that buys it before this month ends, so I’m guessing there will be plenty of clueless fodder in a week or so.

    I’m thinking most of you readers already have L4D2, but just in case, Valve’s running an offer where both L4D games are 66% off. Anyone who orders or already has L4D2 will get a skillet and an Ellis hat in TF2 the following days.

    Speaking of which, a pretty bad patch came around. I’ll spare you the bother of reading the wall of text, and tell you that the Sydney Sleeper ain’t so much of a railgun anymore. It won’t randomly crit anymore, and it won’t pierce through enemies. The sandvich is re-nerfed after it used to instantly recharge again, and there’s a lot of other small bug fixes/cosmetic changes. Funnily enough the Shortstop remains untouched in terms of balance.

    Now correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t everyone more interested in solving the set bonus situation and actually getting decent crafting recipes for the new Polycount items? They had to go make the new sniper weapon un-fun too. Heaven forbid enemies actually overlap on your screen so you can hit both of them, that just happens way too often and it totally breaks the game.

    The Sacrifice is out for L4D and L4D2, but don’t forget to check out the last part of the comic as well.

    So The Sacrifice is coming out October 5th. New achievements, new mutations, and exploding barrels!

    Related to TF2 now, the polycount hats that you need for set bonuses are soon going to be craftable, Robin says. They’re going to be available through a special recipe – ‘something like two refined metal and a class token’. Oh, and the taunt glitch that got bombed out, apparently that wasn’t intended. They’re looking into things trying to re-implement the bug. Just another day at Valve.
