looks awesome. do we have a server running the new map already?
 
I've just played on a Hightower and it's crazy, the spells (you use them with the H key) are very different, you can be invisible, teleport, throw flames or have minions etc.

new 8 unusual effects exis, all the older halloween effects are now unboxable again.

Halloween paints from last year are now also droppable again, falling in price atm

Valve managed to break Mac versions even more ;(

Hoyl shit, an item to give everyone on the server an ability to wear Halloween items for a short time? Yus please

Medic's crossbow is now OP, passive reload, and with a current bug + a small script, you can make it rapid fire.
+ it gives you ability to see others' ammo now. tazman

Soldier, Demoman, Heavy and Sniper (maybe more classes? not sure) are now birds.

I think the ability to see your teammates ammo is applied to the medic by default, not to the crossbow (at least yesterday I could see it and I wasn't using the crossbow) which is by the way a great update.
 
Hmm it's strange, I've just tested it in 4 different servers and in all of them every time I heal a teammate I can see his ammo clip (and I'm not using the crossbow).

I just noticed the Escape Plan isn't working at all, I don't move faster with less health and neither get mini-critted while using it, anyone else got this?
 
"Why is it always THIS time of the year to get assignments like this?" ~Spy
 
Oh correct, medics can now see in general their allies' ammo, not only with the crossbow.

Thanks for correcting me :)
 
"Unlike most other weapons that require reloading, the Flare Gun will be reloaded even if the player switches to a different weapon before the reload animation plays."

It's now the same with the Crossbow.
 
Why would they do that? To make Medic a bit better with crossbow? I didnt think it needed a buff like that honestly.

I like the update that you can see the ammo though.
 
They did that because in the Summer update where they fixed a whole lot of weapons they removed the faster reload, it's actually being done after the animation is done, which is the same speed of a Syringe gun.

I wonder why they didn't just fix the reload and that's all......
 
Wow what, the faster reload was removed? Fucking hell...

I guess I never play with Crossbow much, I would have noticed that if I play with it. Faster reload is a better idea than this imo.
 
Sssssh, let me play with my script that makes the crossbow pretty rapid fire ^_^

Meh, I don't need scripts, I made a bind which let's you shoot the Crossbow twice as fast. #BindingMagic :B1:
