View Full Version : A classless Update! Day 1: 18 New Hats! New Community Map!
An update. With no classes.
From Valve's Blog:
Throughout history, men have worn hats as a way of showing how much better they are than other men. “I buy hats,” a behatted man seems to say. “I am better than you.”
In wartime, hats were a useful way of conferring rank, and ensuring that casualties were confined to the lower classes (hence the famous command of “Don't fire till you see the tops of their heads” at the Battle of Bunker Hill by William Prescott, a general renowned for only shooting enemy combatants who were poor). During peacetime, hats have been instrumental for men to let the non-hatted know just who is wearing the hat around here.
And that’s the entire history of hats. The history you were spoon fed at school, that is, in your government-run hat class. But here’s a little truth bomb your teachers, pastors and ombudsmen of your regional newspapers DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW: Team Fortress now has MORE hats. We hope this didn’t blow your mind out of the top of your head, since you’ll need a place put all these cool new hats.
Arena Offblast:
Arena Offblast is a fast-paced, high-altitude community map set in a top secret missile silo wedged into the top of a hollowed-out mountain. Open-air paths and narrow hallways converge on a central control point located just under the silo’s blast doors.
This mountaintop arena also boasts a sheer cliff face encircling the battleground, giving you the chance to help your opponents improve their tactics. Specifically, anyone you blast over the side will get some time to think about the various flaws in their “standing next to the edge of a cliff” strategy as they plummet to an excruciating, non-respawnable death.

I guess valve assumes that if they don't put COMMUNITY MAP on the page, then people would at least try playing it before immediately dismissing it as bad.
I know some people who haven't even played Hoodoo because it's a community map, and thus, sucks.

They made a hat mod for turning the football helmet into an unshanka. It was just a mod and a really obvious idea that had tons of people begging for it and I think it became the first custom hat model, or one of the first anyway.
So the point is it was so so obvious.
Plus Valve has the rights to all ideas posted in Steam forums. And people cry anyway, even though their idea was put to better use than they were using it for. Plus I doubt Valve would pay anyone for a common Russian hat. If it were something obscure and original, they would just brainstorm another hat. Plus original hats don't really seem to belong in TF2 from what we've seen.
Well this is just great, more hats for me to not get!

Well we're not sure how it's going to work. The way they work now is it randomly selects an item out of all the available ones. Hats have a smaller chance. However, AFAIK they're all individually in there, it doesn't first pick "hat" then pick which one. Therefore unless they lower the number for all of them, there will be more, so if you had a 1/100 chance of getting a hat every two hours it would now be 3/100 because the number of hat choices tripled. They could have made the existing hats one third less likely and all the new ones the same amount, but I think right now they're trying to compensate for those with no hat, and have just one hat isn't as great an achievement this way because before you had 1/9, now you have 1/27. But if you have at least one hat you'll be more satisfied than you are now.
But there's many directions they could go with this. Maybe a three tier system of common hat, medium hat and rare hat. Who knows.

I never have and never will consider baseball caps to be proper hats. In fact, their prevalence in my youth is what inspired me to begin collecting the authentic sort. ;)
A worn hat is a representation of who you are. I daresay if your inner soul is nothing more than a preference for one sports team or another, I should consider you a rather dull person. But since such a notion is absurd, and your life obviously full of many other nuances, I cannot consider the message of a baseball cap an honest one, as you so put forth. :P

I don't think the prevalence of baseball caps is a personal affliction, but merely a regional side effect. In my oasis in the corn desert, a proper hat is hard to be found, whereas the baseball cap is handed out as advertising. In fact, most of these hats were obtained for free and have been unused in a closet until this day!D:

This might mean that you can take others hat? Doesn't really make sense but thats all I can get out of that.
I do beilve that you won't need to worry about loseing your hat my good man, or at least if you don't wish too.
Let me be brief: For those of you who remember, deep withen the vast caves of the Tf2.gcf contains the strange and mysterious voice files of the announcer's "last man standing" and serveral classes "melee dares." In connection with these, as well as this "barbary" page and the "advertisement" pages line: "For the parent with a gambler's heart- ask us about our life insurence policies."
This could mean one of two things: the last two men in an arena map will be forced to "duel to the death" with the spectating players gambling on who will win the match, or a dominated player can chose to melee duel the dominator. I'd like to see the second one personaly.

KOTH should be fun, and should effectively double the value of everyone's Arena maps
Heh, well good ideas have to come from somewhere!
I was really hoping that pl_waste was going to be featured as a new gamestyle. KOTH is ok i guess, i dunno though since i have not really played koth for any serious length of time in tf2.
BTW in koth do you have to hold the point for a certain length of time, or is it just like a really long cap in order to make it hard to achieve? If its the former maybe we get some new hud elements to display that?
Oh also, im fairly certain that spies do not receive hats, but I could be wrong. Also i hope the medic gets a cool hat since im not a great fan of the prussian one (although i suppose id wear it if it ever friggin dropped.)

(1) KotH in TF2 actually requires you to cap a point with a short cap time to start your team's clock. If the other team caps the point, your team's clock stops and their clock starts, and you have to re-capture the point to resume your team's clock's march towards zero. First team's clock to hit zero wins the round. New HUD elements is highly likely.
(2) You're wrong.

The Prussian hat is pretty cool. But I want it to impale people that try to jump on me.

I do believe Valve bandwagonned on Ace's snow textures...for shame!

to an extent. I was looking at converting my 2 arena maps to koth but I don't know. Medieval might be workable, I just have to figure out a safe spot for spawns. I don't think Hoover is gonna work because of the layout.
Lighthouse was a great conversion because the layout is really spread out and there are many paths to both sides/all around the point.

This might just inspire me to revisit Lighthouse and expand it so it works for 12 v 12.
What do you mean, we play it on cC quite a bit (OK, ususally less than 24) but I do think we play with that many players and it's fine. Don't change it!

(1.) You're wrong.
Like I said, unless TF2 has been fixed in the last few days, spies still do not wear the hats of the people they are cloaked as. Like I said, as playing medic with my Prussian pickelhaube and I would consistently call out the spy who was me that did not have my hat, the same happened when I played as sniper and I'd see the spy as me without the trophy belt.
Edit: I also want this for my third spy hat:
