    I need a macro that I can use to spin 180 degrees, spray on the wall behind me, spin 180 degrees again, and taunt. It has to do all this in between the time I kill someone, and they get the freeze cam.

    I don't know if I could come up with a spray that could properly humiliate someone but I'd certainly try.

    Spinning an exact number of degrees is really difficult to set up with scripts, even if you find a way to lock down your fps. It's just not very consistent. You'll just have to be pro enough to do it manually.

    Then this is a task which I will start practicing.

    The delay is pretty short though.. maybe half a second? I'm really gonna have to be on the ball.

    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.

    whoops! I meant sprays, not screens. Sorry! D:

    I think you inferred more than I intended from my post. Sprays are typically not well matched to the artistic direction. That's what I'm saying.

    I still have fun with them and so do others. But I also admire and enjoy revelling in a cohesively 'illustrated' game. I'd be reluctant about the developers allowing more possibilities for players to interfere with that.

    If you want to be caught mid taunt you probably have to start at half a second.

    Ebo, I had a great idea to balance Bombitarod:
    You pick up item boxes with special powerups in them at various places around the map. The team that's behind has a higher chance to get really good items, like, say, a blue spiky turtle shell that flies up to the leading cart and explodes everything around it. Meanwhile the winning team would only every find unguided green shells and banana peels!

    I've played a few hundred hours since hats were released and never had a single one.

    Luckily it doesn't bother me unless I think about how statistically unfair it is.
    The one and only hat I got Flippy was the sniper one.

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

    My only hat, besides the Gibus and the Camera Beard is the Sniper's Trophy Belt. So really, I don't have a hat.

    Last night, I got my first dropped hat: the Medic's Vintage Tyrolean. Fitting that medic is my most played.
    Where's was fanfair, the woots, the congrats? Where were all the endorphins, the gratification, the sense of achievement? This moment was better when I imagined it.

    The fro for the demoman should be bigger. It's kinda hard to see compared to the regular hat.

    That one and the medic hat are the only original ones I found.

    I'm gonna make me a rubber glove hat if it kills me though.

    Welp, looks like I got screwed out of being in that swamp pack from the tf2 post yesterday. Tf2maps said I would be apart of it, but it looks like they picked up one of their buddies koth maps instead. Unfortunately all the mappers over there are up each other's asses when it comes to making maps and the ring leader is youme (the guy who make hoodoo, the worst map ever.) I'm guessing they decided I wasn't cool enough to be apart of the group even though I feel I have one of the best koth maps out.

    Ok, I'm done venting.

    Wait. Moonshine isn't in that pack?

    I literally forget it isn't a valve map sometimes. Hopefully they pick it up for the engy update so you can be all :j about it

    I really like it! Basically my favorite KoTH map. Silly tf2maps duders don't know quality when they see it (pl_doodoo)

    E. Yeah, Lustre I totally agree with that, none of those maps are really getting played right now. At least the Big King Pack got at least a week of play time.

    As someone who attained this hat by crafting two stupid trophy belts I can back this up. It's stylish and still allows for a properly executed kukri-taunt, the best and most demoralizing taunt of them all.

    A Mr. Saxton Hale, that's who.
