    it was from the last map testing night

    we were waiting in the server before the test actually began

    the server was looping moonshine and everybody was just taunt fighting

    it was awesome

    also delish how can you not like the engineer's cap?

    Undead Scottsman's terrible opinions about hats, on a scale 1 to 5.
    1 being "I wouldn't even keep that for trading/collecting purposes" (Protip: I'm too much of a packrat to rate any hat a 1.)
    2 being "I'd hold on to it for trading, but I'd only keep it for collection purposes),
    3 being "I wouldn't mind having it"
    4 being "I'd totally wear it all the time"
    5 being "OHMIGOD I need it right now!"

    Demoman: 'Fro (4), Glenngary Bonnet (5), Scotsman's Stove Pipe (2, since it's so close to the gibus)
    Engineer: Mining Light (2), Texas Ten Gallon (3), Engineer's Cap (3), Texas Slim's Dome Shine (2)
    Heavy: Football Helmet (3), Officer's Ushanka (5), Tough Guy's Toque (3)
    Medic: Prussian Picklehaub (3), Vintage Tyrolean (3), Otolaryngologist's mirror (5)
    Pyro: Beanie (4), Brigade helmet (4), Respectless Rubber Glove (5)
    Scout: Batter's Helmet (3), Bonk Helmet (2), Ye Olde Baker Boy (3), Baseball Bill's Sports Shine (2)
    Sniper: Trophy Belt (2), Professional's Panama (3), Master's Yellow Belt (3), Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative (2)
    Soldier: Soldier's Stash (2), Tyrant's Helm (3), Stainless Pot (4)
    Spy: Fancy Fedora (3), Backbiter's Billycock (3), Camera Beard (Doesn't flipping matter now, I've had it drop soo many damn times)

    ITT some really bad opinions about "bad hats"

    see: Brigade Helm and Football Helmet

    it isn't that I didn't like the brigade helm when I combined it with my duplicate stainless pot, it's just that I already have a beanie and I will never really bother switching hats between maps or rounds or lives or anything.

    just seems stupid to me.

    I personally liked the picture below that one, with the scout peeking over the heavy's shoulder.

    Is he sneaking up on him? Is the heavy giving him a piggyback? We may never know.

    They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't claim to be hats.

    Make them drop as frequently or somewhat less than the camera beard so more people can craft them into real hats.

    actually that'd be a good move, making them miscellaneous items.

    I don't see Valve making the hatless hats craftable into other hats, though.

    I probably will never craft for a class that has one of those hatless hats as a possibility.

    If they were miscellaneous items you could have both a no-hat and a hat equipped, which doesn't make any sense unless you are playing the HGttG text adventure.

    I've gotten 3 hats excluding the special ones.

    Two were fedoras. I crafted them and was lucky enough to get an Ushanka which is one of the ones I wanted.

    The third was the Tyrant's Helm. I'dve preferred the steel pot but the tyrant's helm is still awesome.

    The one and only hat I got Flippy was the sniper one.

    Which, in a way, is worse than nothing at all.

    Cheater's Lament should have been a misc item like a cool badge you could wear on your breast or something.

    Also there should be a simple black and white drawing program in the game menu where you can customize what your demoman has sketched underneath his crotch plate. Or customize the shoulder emblem graphics. Nobody actually uses those for class identification!

    In Rainbow Six 3 you could actually import a custom graphic to use as an arm patch in multiplayer, which was pretty cool.

    In TF2 I'd hope they'd limit it to a circular canvas with two colours permitted, so that it is a subtle customization. Sprays are bad enough for ditching the overall artistic direction.

    I still don't understand everyone's gripe about sprays.

    They've been in Valve games since TFC and they are amazing.

    I mean back in the day you killed a mans, you walked up to his corpse and sprayed a giant dong on him.

    None of this "taunting" crap.

    But seriously if you have a problem with screens you're just no fun.

    I've rated the hats on a scale of Wouldn't Keep, Keep, and Best in Class.

    Demoman: 'Fro (WK), Glenngary Bonnet (K), Scotsman's Stove Pipe (BiC, because I'm a proper gent)
    Engineer: Mining Light (WK), Texas Ten Gallon (K), Engineer's Cap (BiC, because I want to walk around cp_well waiting for people to get run over by trains, and then doing my laugh taunt over their corpse), Texas Slim's Dome Shine (K)
    Heavy: Football Helmet (WK), Officer's Ushanka (BiC), Tough Guy's Toque (K)
    Medic: Prussian Picklehaub (K), Vintage Tyrolean (BiC), Otolaryngologist's mirror (K)
    Pyro: Beanie (WK), Brigade helmet (BiC), Respectless Rubber Glove (K)
    Scout: Batter's Helmet (WK), Bonk Helmet (WK), Ye Olde Baker Boy (BiC only by elimination, all Scout hats suck), Baseball Bill's Sports Shine (WK)
    Sniper: Trophy Belt (WK), Professional's Panama (BiC), Master's Yellow Belt (WK), Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative (WK)
    Soldier: Soldier's Stash (WK), Tyrant's Helm (BiC), Stainless Pot (K)
    Spy: Fancy Fedora (K), Backbiter's Billycock (BiC), Camera Beard (WK - it's ugly)

    Best overall: Scotsman's Stove Pipe, Texas Ten Gallon, Engineer's Cap, Professional's Panama, Tyrant's Helm.


    edit: Rak, as far as I can imagine the only reason people dislike killcams is because it will sometimes show some silly goose who blundered into a long fight and killed you with a single bullet, preventing you from seeing your true enemy's health afterwards. A lot of this ire is now canceled out by the new damage displays.
