having the point camped to hell with minis and level 3s is standard play, I managed to finish games under those conditions all the time.

I thought the standard play was have four sticky demos so the other team can never ever ever cap

Well, I've crashed twice during bumper cars now.
I'm hoping it's just bad luck and not my computer being shitty.
Also the floating platforms version of bumper cars goes on forever.
I can't say I've experienced more trouble with demospam than anything else on doomsday. Snipers and sentries and rocket jumping soldiers are all very powerful when they're defending the rocket area too. Actually do stickies even stick to the elevator platform or do they bounce off?

Also, make sure you get at least four of the achievements. It grants you a big wooden melee slot hammer, usable by all classes except spy. It functions as a reskin.. which means engineers can build sentries by hitting it with a hammer.

Yeah, I'm going to say the new achievements fall into the aggravating category.
Mostly because you don't really have any control over getting most of them. It's a lot of waiting and hoping the right bumper car game or curse comes up.
They're in small enough increments that they're not that hard to get, but it's still annoying that they're kind of up to luck.
If you want to be a dick and get the melee kills achievement easy, go Scottish Reserve demo, lay a big line of stickies where the other team gets teleported to and wait for the melee event and then pop them.
Valve is really bad at thinking of ways to exploit their maps. Most of them are stuff I'd have thought of immediately on creating it.

I didn't realize non melee kills counted. If the event is about to end and I don't have that achievement I'll have to do that.
I did get a headshot with the Classic earlier though. Was fully charged when the teleport happened and blew up the poor shmuck across from me.
Valve must have half-assed it and instead of tracking the actual kill type, it just tallies any kills earned while the condition is active.
I've heard sentries can award the achievement too.
I generally appreciate the humor of the event, it's a pretty funny idea, but the whole thing feels like they rushed it in a week or two and didn't really think about the implementation too much.
xzzy on

Mini-sentries really do ruin the melee mode, dang. The increased knockback while melee mode is on means you can't even get close enough to melee them down.

Protip: On the falling platforms stage, use your explode bind the minute you go off the edge. That way you don't have to wait to fall to the ground and can just fly right back onto the platform.
Might've loved last year's event a lot more because TDM Hightower is a perfect map for Halloween gimmicks and gifts and etc., but from what I've played so far, this is kinda disappointing.

Iunno, I always thought doomsday isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I'm having fun, at least.
And I've gotten two huntsman headshot kills on the spell teleportation so far: one that I purposefully lined up with the voice lines, the second just a happy accident.
the mini-games at the end are the best part. It's fun, but such a tiny tiny map. Helltower and lakeside are my two favorite though, maybe helltower as most just because there is no "boss" that teams are supposed to work together to defeat (which rarely works)

I know HHH means Horseless Headless Horseman, but I keep reading it as Hunter Hearst Helmsly.

You motherfuckers better be on tonight around midnight when I get home from work, because I tried playing this for a few minutes on some random Halloween server and did NOT have fun.
Also, these Halloween costumes suck balls this year. Needless to say, I'll be up for some trading.

I HAVE AN OSTRICH
I mean, it's Doomsday. It's by far the easiest map to break with mini-sentries.
having the point camped to hell with minis and level 3s is standard play, I managed to finish games under those conditions all the time.
I'm hoping it's just bad luck and not my computer being shitty.
Also the floating platforms version of bumper cars goes on forever.
...he said about every map ever.
It's, like, a metaphor or something, man.
We had one round where it ended literally the first time the platforms fell.
First time I played that mode, everyone thought that the flashing platform would be the one that would fall and not the only one that wouldn't
Fastest stalemate ever
I only tried twice, but both times I did the game crashed as soon as the bumper cars loaded

This will be really good for feedback and getting the map some more exposure.
