They already nerfed the Targe, not to mention the Targe is already inferior when compared to the Sticky Launcher. Do you just want to make it so bad that there is no reason to use it?

Valve has become so out of touch and lame. In game items for a pre-order of another game. Are they really this stupid?

Are you annoyed because you can't get those items another way or because you feel that promotion of any game should never overlap with another because both are flawed arguments if you ask me personally?

False.
The only reason people complain about the equalizer is because it's a one-hit kill with a crit at stupid low health. But, if you're raging about that you have to ask yourself. HOW DID YOU LET THAT SOLDIER WITH NO HEALTH GET IN MELEE RANGE. Honestly, if you're a heavy scared of taking 300 points of damage from a single melee attack (which by the way requires you to get a luck crit), you should've considered doing the 5 points of damage necessary to kill the soldier. It's not that difficult at all.
The targe however, while granted is not as good as stickies, is still pretty ridiculous. You don't have to know how to use it (unlike stickies), and quite honestly it forces demos to actually aim with their nades. That in itself is an atrocity. "Look at me I can do 200 points of damage in a single hit, but oh wait the equalizer needs a nerf because I can't seem to do 5 points of damage to a soldier."
And kevi, you talk about countering the targe. I've found a miraculous new invention for countering the equalizer. It's called damage. Do it.

I'm sorry I don't have 360 degree vision like you to see the soldier at the speed of a scout with 5 health jumping off the ledge behind me. No need to be a jerk about it. I can hear the demoman with the charge coming at me so I can spin around in time. The soldier is mostly silent. Plus on a map such as BlackMesa it is ridiculously easy to avoid detection in the first place, then coming up behind two or three people one hitting them all and running off.

So, I'm assuming you hate spies as much as I do? Because if you're letting a soldier backstab you, I can only assume what a spy who can cloak and disguise would do to you.
We'll most of us would agree Valve is actually clever. They have the power to promote a game with an in-game item. This is the direction the gaming market is heading. People just don't see the big picture, but you could be right some people may be annoyed hehe.

People should buy the game and then be happy about having the free TF2 content. It shouldn't be you're purchasing the TF2 content and be happy with the free game. If you're buying the game for the skins, you're doing it wrong.
This, Sam and Max is great and if you think it is only worth it for the skins you need to be slapped silly.
It is a nice bonus, that is all, does it really kill you to not have a hat and two weapon skins?

CnT is overpowered and insane.
The Equalizer was perfectly balanced. It was a great tactical weapon that gave new gameplay to an old character.

Prisoner, really?
This Shows the targe is used by ~33% of demomen, sticky 54% and Sco Res 13%
Compared to 81% using the Equalizer, 7% using the shovel and 12% using the pain train.
Statistically, the equalizer is used more, a lot more. The CnT isn't OP at all, if anything it adds new gameplay to an old character. Your arguement is essentially the wrong way round. Both the CnT and the Equalizer have had a nerf.
As much as they are still both a little unbalanced, I'm fine with that because I play the game without blaming the weapons for deaths. Always note how when you kill somebody it's skill, yet when they kill you it's an OP weapon. Hmmmm.

Sam and Max items do not belong in the game. Valve needs to cut down on that promotional advertisement for their other games. Seriously.
