While halloween mode's turned on, walking into someone with the zombie taunt should automatically force them to taunt too.

Letting Steam accept those block-and-gradient ASCII-art characters was Valve's biggest blunder since PowerPlay.

This one blends Dota stuff in in a clever way.

And the only way out of the taunt is death. :laugh:

A literal zombie virus.

This begs the question of whether you should be able to do team damage to zombies or not. (yes)

Only if they give Medic an anti-zombie syringe that ends the taunt (to encourage more new players to play Medic).

You're never going to convince new players to play medic, its time to Give Up the Dream.

That's fine by me, I love it when idiots run blindly into my arc of needles. They just assume medics are completely neutered.

I have no goddamn idea how to aim with the needleguns, I just look slightly up and to the left of whatever I am aiming at and the tiny impossible to see projectiles make their own way into their flesh more often than not.

# ? Sep 25, 2014 15:04

It's kind of a feel thing, the more you use the needlegun the better you get with it.

But even in the hands of a pro the needlegun is pretty poo poo, except for occasional highlight reel miracles.

Crossbow or bust. Nothing beats nailing a scout to the wall from across the map with it, then taunting.

I've seen a few DOTA 2 SFMs, but I never saw a CS:GO one, and this one was great. :allears:

The best thing about the crossbow is healing fighting teammates from across the map with it. And healing people mid-explosive jump.
(not that I can do that reliably at all instead of wasting time trying to get those shots)

I'd play medic more if they had hitscan healing options.

Like a healing shotgun that blasts health at teammates, or a healing rifle so I could peg dudes from across the map. Just like clicking on heads as a normal sniper but they don't die and thank you for it!

If there was a healing shotgun I would play Medic so much more than I do currently. :allears:

A Possible Short Circuit Nerf That I Just Pulled Out Of My rear end:

Short Circuit now targets needlegun needles as well

Engineer being a problem with an SC in his nest? Have your one competent medic on your team shoot a clip of needles over the top of the nest while you shoot your rockets.

The support class' hard counter is now hard countered by another support class

Irony Be My Shield: Jul 29, 2012

Medics already have the hard counter to the Short Circuit though?

It works pretty well at what it's supposed to do, which is covering your retreat and making your pursuers follow a slower zigzag path. It's not supposed to be great at pushing forward with, this isn't Fortress Forever featuring Medic: Offensive Class.

Given the amount of times I've seen medics, stand there, healing a sniper, you're just going to turn the 2fort balcony into a battle of immortals.

I love that this is just now being put into the game.

Also I don't have a chance to check yet but what's in the late summer crates?

Well, right now, the current theory/conspiracy is:

End of the Line items.

Here's the crate:

This crate is special and requires a Limited Summer Key.
Its contents will be limited and only come from this crate.
Some, but not all, of the items in this crate are Strange...

After 10/13/2014 this crate can no longer be opened.

This crate contains one of the following limited items:
The Mishap Mercenary
The Lady Killer
The Lone Survivor
Poacher's Safari Jacket
Thirst Blood
Mann of the Seven Sees
Hillbilly Speed-Bump
The Unshaved Bear
Pocket Heavy
or an Exceedingly Rare Special item or Unusual Thirst Blood!

So some of those must be weapons, and some are cosmetics.

Wait, I forgot that cosmetics can be Strange now. Yeah, it can totally be a crate of only Cosmetics, like lots of these promotional/seasonal crates have been.
