TF2 May Include More Equipment; "Head Slot" Items

Um, is anyone else getting a bit worried?

A fair bit, but first they have to deal with people who are deleting their items (accidentally or otherwise) and then finding they're gone forever as per this:

I'll reserve judgement until the update lands (or at least until there's some official word on it), though my current thoughts are apprehensive. Valve have made questionable moves before that worked out well, and very little is known just yet.

ETA: The headwear is being read by some as "sandman defence". I imagine it'll be mostly buffs like that- explosives 50% less effective, +20hp, etc. Definitely intrigued by how Valve will balance this.

you know, I always did wonder why backburner was a "level 10 flamethrower"

I trust Valve and am really excited for this.

Still want the rest of the Meet the Team videos though.

So...

It's now TF2 Meet the MMO?

Mo' like World of Fortress 2.

TeamQuest.

I mean it worked in Dawn of War 2 but that's cause it wasn't the focus of the multiplayer game. So, yeah. I'm starting to get a bit sick of the updates.

I've been saying this forever and now you guys are saying it.

Lamers.

Edit: I mean how was it not obvious with every update.

Health Sucking Gun (least terrible, medics did need a little help)
Guaranteed Crit Axe (come on critting itself was bad but it's getting silly)
Health Potion
Slowdown Gun
and finally, a weapon that literally stuns you

The "Weapon levels" have been there for awhile, too. It was only a matter of time until this became DiabloFortress 2.

I took that to be a joke; like, if I were to make a game where you got new equipment and it was changed out for other equipment and you never saw any sort of stat or anything other than basic information I would start giving it levels too.

I mean "Level 5 Lunch Box," how could you take that to mean its becoming an MMO?

well I didn't, which is why its a hindsight thing. I thought it was totally arbitrary

Well, I'm really hoping this gets a lot of people to quit.

Then the rest of us can enjoy it in peace.
