Well, it looks like Valve's halloween promo started. You can now use the new taunt if you hold the taunt button and the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head now appears if you equip it.. Not to mention the new background in the main menu lol.

edit: maybe not the halloween promo where Valve releases hats etc but "halloween" time where it allows the things I mentioned.

How much is the Conscientious Objector worth? It's the new peace sign weapon. I just found one off a random drop.
I'm not going to sell it, just curious for it being new and all.

Personally I saw someone trade one for 3.6 refined last night.

I've seen someone trade a max head for a nametag, doesn't mean that's what it typically goes for.

Advice or stuff regarding Chargin' Targe vs. Splendid Screen?
What weapon do you intend to use with the sheilds?

iirc the Targe is currently glitched. You can use the charge at any range and still get the crit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.


Assuming you use either the Bottle, Persian Persuader or Half Zatochi the damage with the charge and crit is 245. With the Screen it's 270. The only class that falls between those is an overhealed Demo. However, with how low health they'll have and you being in melee range, they'll probably kill themselves with explosives. Seems pretty negligible to me.


The Eyelander, on the other hand, gets a damage boost from the Splendid screen. 2 heads with the Targe gives you 265 damage, whilst 2 with the Screen will give you 304 damage, enough to take out overhealed Soldiers or unbuffed Heavies.


So basically, if you're running Eyelander OR the enemy team has few explosive classes (or pyros I guess, but Shield hardly matters there, just depends on nade aim) I would run the Splendid Screen. Otherwise, stick with the Targe.

I really like the Eyelander, so I guess I'll save metal to craft the Splendid Screen. Thanks, Seikend.
I sent you a trade request earlier when you were on but you didn't respond so I'll let you know here lol. I'll give you an extra The Splendid Screen for free xD

edit: metal? I'm pretty sure they go for a scrap or 2 random weapons

edit2: oh you meant craft.

Oh. Well this helps nicely if you're willing to part with it. I'll be on Steam after a much needed nap.

I'd want 1 scrap for it, so just give me any 2 weapons I could craft into scrap, or do that yourself and trade me the scrap.

A lot, they're in series 30 crates. Your best bet is to get a series 30 crate rather than trading for one.

How many people here would be interested in a TF2 tournament? I was thinking something along the lines of 6v6, KoTH and on Harvest.

I'd recommend Viaduct over Harvest for 6v6, but I also probably wouldn't enter.

Blehh. More cosmetic updates. Was hoping for a new weapon or two.


Still, I'm, really glad they got rid of the server stutter bug. Used to get it all the time joining my favourite server :/.
