Indeed it is, just found one of the festive crate thingies. Not openable with any key, just a description saying to wait and see. And an expiration date on the 31st.

[Cecilff2]

Alright, screw the hitbox. Just do some radical funky thing so lag compensation works.

I want this.  I want this so much.

[PTTG??]

It had better be free. I barely tolerate crates as it is, and it seems like the only thing I ever recieve is crates nowadays anyway.

[Sowelu]

I've never ever got a crate.  :/

They make great trade sweeteners. People often assign them more worth than they really have, so you can get decent items for cheaper.

I've seen 4 or 5 crates trade for a bad hat. I've seeb 6 or 7 trade for an ok hat.

[Shadowlord]

I've only ever traded crates for a halloween mask, never for an actual hat.

[Mr.Person]

When I say "bad hat", I meant Napper's Respite, Ellis' Cap, and Old Guadalajara back when they were all worthless. I don't check on prices anymore since I don't trade anymore, so I don't know.

Aye! Me bottle o'scrumpy! Anon!

Christmas update for TF2 is go. The map stamps are good for mappers, and cause no problem for anyone else so are good. The new map and mode (melee+ medieval weapons only) are interesting, if not amazing. Festive keys are now available, same price as normal keys. Mann Co sale, though I don't really care about that. New hats, they're all nice but I expect them to be perceived as extremely valuable for a while so won't be getting any. More straight buff set bonuses  but at least they don't require hats. Some of the new weapons are very interesting, but others suffer from being useless (extra damage melee for heavy with a passive debuff for example) while others are straight upgrades (medics new saw- as if they didn't already have straight upgrades...).

What crafting recipes have been revealed on the wiki show 2 reclaimed metal + an item each. Seriously. And I thought 1 reclaimed was too much. Hopefully their value will sink like a stone as the polycount did, to about a scrap each. I haven't even crafted the haloween axe yet, so this is annoying.

Edit: 14 new weapons, 0 new kill icons.

I had actually been hoping that the Christmas event would contain some element of charity and the key would be available through some kind of event at not monetary cost. Shows what I know. 

[ToonyMan]

Hell yes.  Look at this.  Are these new medic weapons?  Cool cool cool.  So apparently the new gamemode you can only use "dated" weapons I guess.

Here's a thread in the TF2 forums that explains the new weapons.

Cool as hell.

[Sensei]

Frankly as the heavy I wouldn't miss 20HP if I had any intent of using melee (which I like to, because it's fun).

And I guess the Brass Beast basically behaves like the old Sasha... but with MORE damage? Why do they keep buffing the heavy?

And the candy cane for scout sounds pretty cool too, though I don't actually bonk people often.

Can't wait to see newbs screw up with the Boston Basher.
