Rumor has it:

- TheAnthal of reddit shares his item schema findings

- ...with some additional info on items having a cards attribute in the item schema and some new HUD files. I smell speculation material...

- The P2 CE soundtrack is on Amazon for $18 w/ shipping (thanks to ned_ballad for the find!)

- Custom MvM wave makers may want to read this write-up by goosmurf of reddit about the MissionCycle behavior

Because we wouldn't be playing the game to this day 5 years after its release if Valve abandoned it?

I hope it's not another strange crate. I quit TF2 again 2 days ago. I'm not very good at this quitting thing. I'm still lurking this damn forum.

I just ate a bagel.

I don't know why we need to these threads either. The update will be out soon and we will find out what to complain about then.

I can hope that it's the halloween update, but if not...well I just hope it is.

There should be a thread: 'How many times did YOU quit TF2'.

Seems like some MvM changes. Hopefully making mannworks wave 5 a little less sadistic.

Way too early for Halloween. It's the "leaving-early-penalty" stuff for MvM.
