Scream Fortress

[Uncle Creepy]

What can I say? This year's Halloween update is amazing. The new boss, Merasmus, was ridiculous. But, after about an hour or so (sad, right?), I finally got on a server that could actually defeat him. The hat you get is pretty sweet, as well. What is everyone else's take on this year's update?

I know!!! The new boss, the new items, everything. Well done Valve, well done. hhahaha

 

[Nix]

Alas, I had a very busy day yesterday, which included a sleepover. No TF2.

But when I get back, I shall play with you guys.

Alright, so here's my two cents on the update.

Firstoff, let me say that the boss and the zombies are great additions to the game. The boss is hard to beat, which in turn makes it a challenge and actually makes it feel all the more satisfying when you beat him. Zombies are cool as well, though I wish they weren't just a reskin of the robots. Wave 666 seems cool, although I havent played it personally.

Second, the items. The whole idea of potions is great, but the problem is they expire. Why cant I have flaming footsteps year-round Valve?! In any case, you also have what they did before Meet the Pyro if I am correct, in that you take a certain amount of items and craft them together. Apparently you take 7 cursed items and craft God-knows-what. Hopefully something permanent.

Third, the eerie crates and keys. A great way for community contributors to get their items out there, and for Valve to troll us all and make even more money.

Overall, a solid 8.5/10 on this update for me.

*Also - WHERE IS MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME DROPS. I WANT TO CATCH EM ALL!

Also notice how the update broke almost nothing.

Only thing it broke was custom huds and sourcemod. Both of these are custom things though. (Though breaking sourcemod is pretty big.)

Other than the cool Hat & Merasmus, I don't really care for this years Scream Fortress. The gifts are a disappointment!

I liked last years, trying to collect full sets of costumes for each class...

I got a haunted medic soul from crafting the 7 weapons, and it is NOT an all year thing. (sorry to those I have misinformed)

I got a haunted medic soul from crafting the 7 items, and it's permanent.

Those crafts are permanents? YES! i think i will go idle now :drool:

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Ugh, I crafted a pile of ash (wait, that was pyroland) and reached in and recieved...

Diddly. Seriously, nothing dropped for me when I opened it or upon my next death or anything.

I do say though, love the wheel o' death. Someone needs to put that into an actual map as a gimmick. Say a CTF one where the wheel spins for those who are capped against...?

 

[Shiznoe]

HE looks so cool!

Woah, hold on. I'm sorry! The hat I got from defeating Merasmus is all an all year thing, but not what you get from crafting the 7 items. My bad :/

 

[Goz]

Holy...

That there is 666 zombies. It was a nightmare.

Okay, evidently the pile o' curse decided not to open when I told it to open yesterday (yay for lag?). Finally got it to pop open today and got a sniper soul.

AND finally killed Merasmus the punk wizard again and got my hat. Did you know you can't get the achievement if he manages to kill you just before he dies? :facewall:
