The irony is killing me.

The point and cool part of having a hat is looking cool and standing out among the rest of the nameless noobs. Now that 95% of all players have a Halo, NOT having a Halo now makes you stand out!

Who's got the free hat NOW bitches?

US IDLERS!

[Slinky]

I am enjoying my new hat.
Don't act like your not impressed, idlers.

[Alexc26]

I like the halo, i dont have one, but its great when spies wear them, means i can easily see them *cough* Riz *cough*

The level of extremity to which this situation has been taken made me laugh out loud. Halos not healing non-halos. Non-halos not healing halos. Halos being banned. Non-halos being banned. It's segregation in a god-damn game!

This is an extremely poor move on Valve's part; I think they're too stubborn to just admit that they were really at fault and released a horrible system, so they punished a good half of the active community. Their 4.5% figure was of the total TF2 owners, and given that there was 10,000 people idling at one point, maybe another 5-8,000 that weren't (but did idle), around 15,000 out of the peak 27,000 players today is just a little bigger than 4.5%.

GG on widening the gap in your player base, Valve. And for some, there will be NO RE.

This just needs to be turned into a demotivational poster.

My name is Pvt. ZeroTrace and I need me eight soldiers. Eight TF2-Idling soldiers. Now, y'all might of heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we'll be leaving a little earlier. We're gonna be dropped into pubs, disguised as civilians. And once we're in enemy territory, as a bushwackin' guerrilla army, we're gonna be doing one thing and one thing only... killing Halos.

Members of this Halo party conquered pubs through murder, torture, intimation, and terror. And that's exactly what we're gonna do to them. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Steam Forums, cross five thousand miles of tubes, fight my way through half 4chan and then jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Halos lessons in humanity. Halos ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Idle-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed.

That's why every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Halo, they're gonna die.

We will be cruel to the Halos and through our cruelty they will know who we are. They will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, disfigured bodies their brothers we leave behind us and the Halos will not be able to help themselves from imagining the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, at our miniguns, and the edge of our backstabbing knives. And the Halos will be sickened by us, the Halos will talk about us and the Halos will fear us. And when the Halos close their eyes at night and their subconscious tortures them for the evil they've done, it will be with thoughts of us that it tortures them with.

Sound good?

That's what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning to all would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on a debit. A debit you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Halos. And I want my Halos. And all y'all will git me one hundred Halos, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Halofags. Or you will die tryin'.

You have a very good point, although I don't know that a vast majority of halo vs. non-halo players will really detest each other that much. I can understand the hate there, but I think for the most part it won't be a problem. Besides, I think everyone was taking one of the extreme sides when they found out they couldn't or could have a halo.

I saw a lot of people with halos on a server I frequent today, and it kind of made me jealous, but it didn't affect gameplay at all. Hopefully this is true for most cases. But I'd definitely play on a server that has halos vs. non-halos at least once, just for fun. I'll give it about a week until there is one 24/7 halo vs. non-halo server.

Anyway, I hope to acquire a halo eventually through an eventual trading system... then again I'm just getting my hopes up.

Lmao, the only reason he didn't use the idler is because he had no idea it existed lololol.

It is retarded the extremity of the situation, but I wouldn't pin it on Valve.

FFS Hats don't even do anything other than change the cosmetic appearance of your character, which can be had if you play on a server with a hat mod(one I played on had a headcrab hat, was awesome), I'm just glad they put an end to the idlers though, it was annoying to hit the friend tab and have 30-40 of the servers listed being idle ones(provided by sourceOP)

There we go, much better like this

Re-installed this pile of turd just to see if I got a Halo... Yay me.

So did you get one? That seems like a wasted effort, but if it isn't, I may as well try while I do homework.

Yeah I got one, hadn't had the game installed for a few months and figured i'd see what all this gay was about. While rewarding people who didn't cheat is kinda nice, it's a rather meh way of going about it.

I rofed at all the people who lost there shit though.

Noone lost all their shit. They only lost items gained through idling, most only lost hats

They returned my items I got through achievements today, but prior to that, I was left with 10 sandviches, a razorback, sandman, huntsman, natascha, and an axetinguisher.

LOL! this whole issue is just fucking hilarious

I made an epic spray to get the most trolling out of this situation:



The tape is actually semi-transparent, so it looks awesome in-game. TGA FTW.

Can you give me the original please? That is a gnarly spray!
