I'm amazed that so many people are asspained over losing a couple of hats. It's amazing how many TF2 players wanted to play dress-up. /v/ is having a riot over this.

My PSN ID is xscoot. Crazy, huh?

And with good reason. Hats are fucking stupid. Get good at the game, don't try to look good.

Yeah, but at least half of /v/ is just TF2 topics right now. It's hilarious, and so easy to troll. I'm having fun with it.

I'm so downloading this, haha.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Well, I did get some of my unlocks deleted and I didn't get a halo.
This entire shit is stupid and hilarious at the same time. It caused a fucking civil war between TF2 players.
I hope Valve makes a better item-getting system now though.

Also, what's with all the hate? Idlers got caught and punished and the others got a hat. That's the way it is and bitching won't change it. So let's not hate on idlefags or moralfags.
If the current system is flawed or not, that's another question.

The new content really isn't great. Some more maps for XBOX would be good, but the class updates are really just silly and annoying.

As someone who doesn't play any TF (I think it is pretty crappy looking), do these "hats" even do anything or is this just a bunch of garbage?

I am not talking about graphics, I am talking about the entire gameplay concept. Cartoon character running around with bizarre guns? I would rather play a real FPS.

Valve really hates cheaters, hackers, coders, and piraters, don't they? That VAC system thing has to be the worst anti-cheating system ever created. I've seen users get banned for something they didn't do or for something unnecessary, while cheating happens right before my eyes and nothing is done. They're so serious about cracking down on that stuff, but do they really need to? It's just a game.

I've yet to see someone wrongly banned by VAC. Everyone says "blah blah I didn't cheat!" when they actually did. Some dick on MSN was raging about it; "I DIDN'T HACK STUPID STEAM." he eventually admitted he'd been wallhacking. In regards to it being just a game, it's a billion dollar industry.

Does that mean people have to quit playing what they like and follow your opinions? I really don't want to play another "real FPS." They're all the same and have no replay value whatsoever.

I really don't care what people play or don't play. All I wanted to know was if these "hats" did anything.

this has nothing to do with the game, I've never played it either, just pointing out how stupid that comment is.

Nope, the hats are just a few useless pixels above your head. However, people seem to love them so much that they'd stoop down to idling for them.

They're for the shitz and gigglez. They just make your character look slightly more unique.

However, they can be seen as a mode of status. People who have hats, are good players who have been playing for a long time.

THERE IS NO MORE TO SAY.

Or players who leave their computers on idle servers all day. I don't think that going to the normal idle servers in-game was affected by the sweep.

Anyway, this way of thinking that has = status is down to Valve, what with their hidden pages involving hats during the Classless update.

Valve is a cool guy. He gives Halos and doesn't afraid of idlers.

Seriously, people thinking that it was okay to abuse the system should get slapped. Yes, there was no policy and it wasn't technically cheating until the latest post, but the reason for this is Valve weren't expecting a external idler program.

Yet people used it thinking it was cool. I has no hat, apart from the Halo, and get a bit pissed when people who don't play the game get more chance of getting items than those who do play it.

This is a Prime piece of real estate below.

Typical teenager response.

What I mean is that they both level up and get useless items from playing a lot, such thing never ends. How are they different?
