    I had fun last night, actually managed to do some damage as a spy. Very fun class to play once you get on a roll.

    Especially fun was point C on GPit. Stand on top of the point and swoop down on unsuspecting reds coming out of spawn.

    I really hope this means valve is going to increase the drop rate of hats now

    I've still only got the one, and it's been... what, two, three months since they started dropping?

    some people still don't have any, for fuck's sake

    or if they aren't going to up the drop rate, a trade system PLEASE

    half of the people with hats don't even play the class they have one for!

    my flatmate has pyro, spy and soldier hat, and only EVER plays heavy argh

    I kind of forgot about hats for awhile since I got all the other unlocks

    I would be incredibly surprised if I get one any time in the near future, but it doesn't really affect gameplay so it doesn't matter

    I guess the idea was that if they weren't rare everyone would be wearing the same hats and they'd stop being special

    with this update (and the potential for more hats in the future) there'll be no more reason to keep them rare

    I am hoping valve will realize this

    the hats have actually kind of changed the game a bit

    like if somebody amazingly good is wearing a hat, you can identify them from a distance

    and stay away from them

    so if a dude has a hat

    and a spy disguises as that dude and the spy does not have that hat, does the hat appear on his head?

    alternatively, if a spy disguises as that dude and the spy DOES have the hat (and it is equipped to that class in his loadout), does the hat appear on his head?

    There was a bug where if a player was wearing a hat, it wouldn't show up on the spy. I think they've fixed that, though I can't be sure.

    Day 2 of the classless update:

    New game mode, King of the Hill

    SINCE THEIR DISCOVERY IN 1895, HILLS HAVE FASCINATED KINGS

    King of the Hill (KotH) is an intense new game mode focused around a single central capture point that must be defended for three minutes. Gameplay begins with the point initially locked—after a short time, it will open for capture by either team. Once the point is captured by a team, their team clock will start a three minute countdown. If the enemy team manages to capture the point back, their clock will start counting down while the other team’s clock freezes at the time the point was recaptured.

    A BRAND NEW MAP FIT FOR A KING

    02_screen_b.jpg

    02_screen_c.jpg

    Viaduct is an all-new map especially built for KotH, set outside of the entrance to a secret underground base. Viaduct is also the first Team Fortress map to take place during a snowfall. Both teams start at the base of a low hill, and will have to climb to get to the capture point at the hill’s peak. The various elevations of the map and multiple routes to the central point guarantee some frenzied battles as the point changes hands during gameplay.

    Nucleus and Sawmill have been converted to KoTH maps.

    KoTH isn't really a new game mode, unless you only play on the PA servers and never on HonC.

    But k.

    I think you're looking a gift horse in the mouth here. It benefits the general community that's not necessarily inclined to stick it out on custom map servers through 25 bad maps looking for the few worthwhile ones.

    I also have a guess why they didn't go official with garbage day. The large, open space is a hose on performance and gives more sniper dominance than Valve seems to like in their maps.

    For every bad map I play, there's five others that are amazing. I'm not a picky person so I consider most maps to be awesome, except well, badlands, and granary.

    All i want from this update is for one class to get the triple top-hat.

    Also KotH Sawmill/Nucleus should be fun.
