Also notice how weapons have "level 1" "level 10" etc... will that ever mean anything?

I'm glad they fixed this because this is how its meant to be with stickies.
I'm pissed off that of playing thousands of hours I only ever scored 1 hat. And for they past few months before crafting I was throwing away weapons I already had. Had I known about this crafting and the amount of crap you need to make 1 hat I would of kept all my items. Now I dont even bother with it.

Only hat I have is one from the Halloween event.
Posted 01:21pm 28/1/10
I didnt even get that! I only got the one for pre-ordering L4D2

They should do stuff like reward the top player at the end of a map with a random weapon, or top medics etc etc. Do SOMETHING that will increase the rate of acquiring the items required for crafting a new hat.

Oh! Look!!! The grass outside is growing on my lawn. Going to watch that instead, guise, back later.
I'm with you Titties, I have the Captain's hat but also that Halloween one. I didn't play on Halloween though, I was in Tassie, so dunno where that came from.

you got that one if you killed someone that was wearing it

It's as if all of Valve's 3d modelers hired recently decided on a career change from millinery.

It's a f****g fps. The three words I dont ever want to hear in a FPS thread are 'crafting', 'hats' and 'drop rate'.
This game has gotten so far from the original TF1 IN A BAD WAY it's not funny.
F*** even TFC was better then this f*****g game is now. I loved TF2 for ages when it first came out but just like every f*****g game these days the 'meta' game takes over and floods the game with useless trash.
My biggest pet hate (and the reason I never brought the later of the battlefield games) is that you can earn/acheive/farm whatever something in game that actually effects gameplay. F*** THAT.
At least blizzard realise this is a BIG no-no and make the wow trading card game only give you new pets and mounts and stuff like that and nothing that actually effects your or anyone elsees game. Otherwise you run the risk of those things becoming manditory and therefore require all new or returning players to farm them up etc.
The whole idea of FPS's usually is taht you start with everything your going to need within your match or you go pick it up while its lying around the level or whatever...(over simplyfied but you get my point) and skill/reflex and map control etc etc are what you need... not unlocks.... you dont have to f*****g do acheivments to get WEAPONS or things that effect the games (hats, fine at least they dont f*****g effect me). Game changing things through unlocks... Thats absurd.
One of the reasons rock arena 3 and CTF were amazing games.
Could you imaging trying to switch to the rocket launcher or rail gun in rocket arena 3 or say the gren launcher/grapple in CTF only to find you haveny unlocked the 'kill 15 spys while wearing your maid apren' f*****g acheivement.
What the f*** has FPS turned into. Jesus f*** this makes me mad.

Also, they fixed the scouts retarded legs.
also also, they're implementing community created items

tf2 is continually being balanced.
i dont think gamer has played the game longer than 5 minutes if at all.
Posted 03:38pm 28/1/10
also you can play on a server that lost its steam connection and you won't be able to use the new weapons

Greazy is corrent, weapons that arnt given to everyone on load effect gameplay negativly but was wrong about me playing the game for only 5 minutes (f***wit number 2)
And Thermite was just being a troll (f***wit number 3)
My point still stands.

your point has taken a s***ting on.
gg for being a tard. read the rest of the sentence. because it's a multiplayer game the negativity is so small i doubt it even matters.
twisted some hats are pretty cool, like the pyro has a firemens hat.

Like greazy said though, the unlockables aren't BFG-1000's and in a lot of cases the original weapon is better. Most of the weapons don't buff the character but give the him an alternative playing style.
Hats are like achievements or costumes, if you don't like them just ignore them f*****s or play a real mans game like l4d2 :)

I put in some solid gametime for a few months and i got no hats. All i got was the same s*** items over and over.
