The Three Halloween Bosses And… You?

March 21, 2014 WhatIsHandle 0 Comments cosmetics, halloween

As my favourite holiday being Halloween (Christmas is my second favourite.) I’ve decided why not make an article about TF2’s Halloween Bosses: The Horseless Headless Horsemann, Monoculus (Latin for One Eye) And Merasmus (Latin for Decaying). So why not start with the first boss added in 2010: The Horsemann. His base health is 3,000 with an additional 200 per player (His official Minimum is 5,000 while is Official Maximum is 7,500.) His speed is 400 Hammer Units (That of a scout.) attack range is 200 units. His Scare Radius is 500 units. He’s easily taken down to half-health with… [Continue Reading]

Skeletons, Vampires and TF_Zombies, oh my!

“Medic, it’s not Halloween.” I know, but since it’s January and everyone’s depressed, I thought I’d write something about one of the lesser known TF2 commands. The TF_Zombie is a sight to admire, and there’s some rather cool stuff about them that you might like to learn about! Plus, you liked the skeletons on Helltower, right? Yeah, I thought so.

The Second Opinion

November 19, 2013 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, halloween, hat, medic

Halloween’s over now, and its passing takes with it the 102 cosmetic items, the Halloween paints and spells, transmogrifiers, spooky crates and event keys. But there’s one item in particular that we’re all going to miss. Okay, maybe not everyone, but most people. Fine, not most people, but most Medics. Alright! Some Medics. Some Medics will miss this item. I’m talking about the Second Opinion. Yes, he is… Oh no.

You Shouldn’t Rely on Glitches

November 13, 2013 thesupremecommander 0 Comments comparison, cosmetics, defense, glitches, halloween, SPUF

It seems like SPUF is always in two minds when it comes to glitches within our expansive game of TF2. Whether it’s high-fiving someone into the enemy spawn or staying invincible as a Medic, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of bugs that Valve has accidentally exposed over the years. Of course, the latest one on the public mind (but not a recent one, dating back to just after last Halloween when it occurred) was the persistence of Halloween spells on items beyond when they were supposed to expire. This glitch was patched during and after this year’s update, with all… [Continue Reading]

RIP Permanent Color-Shifting Spell Paint (2012-2013)

November 12, 2013 iGamr 0 Comments cosmetics, criticism, glitches, halloween, mourning, trading, update

Today, we mourn the loss of our beloved hue-changing beauties, as the TF2 community is forced to return to the world of monochromatic monotony that is normal paint. Spell enthusiasts new and old have had their favorite cosmetic toy taken from them in what could be considered the worst possible way to handle the entire situation (explained further below). My losses include my once painstakingly-perfected Goldier, pictured below, as well as his Festive and Haunted variants meant for such illustrious occasions as the Christmas season (or infrequent snow map), Halloween, and Full Moons.

Surviving Scream Fortress 2013 as a Demoman

November 10, 2013 aabicus 2 Comments demoman, guide, halloween, loadout, strategy

Tired of dying to mini-sentries on Helltower? Tired of not getting an epic spell from the Witching Hour because you didn’t survive the run up the incredibly-lethal disappearing bridge? Tired of finding yourself with absolutely no options while pyros, skeletons, and monoculi bear down on you? Well, too bad. It’s all gonna keep happening. But you can have it happen to you significantly less by switching to Demoman!

Have you gotten bored with playing the same old classes with the same old playstyles? Tired of playing the trolldier, the axdegreaser pyro, the gunslinger engy, and the scout? Want to spice up the rest of the Halloween update? LOOK NO FURTHER! Here there be dragons…just kidding, but it would be cool for next year… *hint hint hint* I have not one, but TWO, I repeat, TWO new fun playstyles just for you!

Surviving Scream Fortress 2013 as a Soldier

November 8, 2013 Medic 0 Comments guide, halloween, soldier, tips

You’ve probably guessed by now what my second most played class is. Yes, it’s Soldier. And because of all the spam, not to mention the horrors I’ve seen lately as a Medic, I’ve had to switch to Soldier quite a lot. Actually, I’ve been pretty much forced to play Soldier because a team composed entirely of Scouts, Snipers, Spies, Engineers and a lone Pyro is NOT a good place for a Medic to be. I could play Demoman, but I can’t aim. I could play Pyro, but there’s either one or billions of them. I could play Heavy, but, um…… [Continue Reading]

Some things to do as a Ghost

November 7, 2013 aabicus 0 Comments fun, glitches, guide, halloween

One of the major downsides to real life is that once you die, there’s not much to do. Luckily TF2 doesn’t have this problem, at least if you’re playing Helltower and are currently in Hell. Here are three fun things to occupy the time while you wait for the next round to start. 1. Keep enemy snipers company The optimal strategy as a sniper in Hell is to stand at spawn and shoot people heading for Skull Island. It must get lonely, being so far away from the action, so go over and say hi! Make sure to get a… [Continue Reading]
