Annoying sound.

What exactly are duels?

It's an item, you can use it in your backpack or equip it to your action slot (this also goes for presents) and press the action button. In the case of duels, you select one person to duel. If they accept the duel request, one use of the "Duel" item is expended and you get duel symbols over eachother's heads. Then it adds one point to each of your duel scores for kills/assists against your dueling opponent, and the one with the most duel points at the end of the duel wins.

This factors into the duel medal I was talking about earlier- it gets a level every 10 wins, and upgrades every 250 wins (25 levels). It goes up to level 100, or 1000 wins. Which is crazy even with duels costing 20 cents apiece (you buy them in packs of five only). Duels and be dropped randomly, but that's one at a time.

I would have rather have a TF3 than this since valve is simply trying to milk more money off TF2 .

Yeah, they're selling the game for half off and you're not even required to buy anything at the store!  What a sham.

But seriously, there's absolutely nothing wrong with optional paid DLC. I mean, think of all the free stuff we get from Valve. It's only right that they get a few extra bucks off of it.

 And there isn't really anything game-effecting you can buy from the shop that you can't get from drops.

Other than the set hats.

Which will, theoretically, receive recipes to craft them in the near future.

The new items range between "mostly useless" (Sydney Sleeper seems this way - no headshots, and applies Jarate only on 50%+ charged hits...) to "OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!1" (Short Stop. 4-barreled, long-range shotgun - it'd be epic even if it didn't slow people!), with most of them at least mostly awesome.

I dunno, the Sleeper seemed pretty powerful when I was playing last night. The guy who had it was totally ruining everyone and not even scoping... Even he was complaining about how overpowered it was.

Wait, what? The Sleeper, non-scoped, is exactly the same as the basic Sniper Rifle. You need a 50% scope charge before it applies Jarate... and if you're not applying Jarate, it's just a SR that can't headshot and has a different appearance. Well, that plus the set bonus if you're wearing everything. It's possible he was bodyshotting everything to death, but again, that's only useful if you can exploit the Jarate effect - if you aren't getting some benefit from the mini-crits, then it's a sniper rifle without the guaranteed headshot crits. 

[Mr.Person]

The Sleeper randomly crits.

[Thexor]

True. But really, did anyone voluntarily choose the Needlegun over the Blutsauger back when the former's advantage was, "Can randomly crit"? 

[Mr.Person]

If all you do is noscope, it's a slight advantage.

Emphasis on the slight.

Well, hrrm. The SPUF now has a Trading Subsection. In the, what, 3 days since the update's gone live, there have been 8893 posts made in it.

Overall, the TF2 forum has 36,000 threads in it.

Yes, that's one-fourth of the entire TF2 forum, all about trading. Over 3000 threads per day. 


This is insane.

Are you saying the set hats don't drop?

The Trading subforum went live about a month or so ago.

Anyone want a vintage whoopee cap? I don't play much scout, and am looking to trade it for select hats from ze medic or heavy
