Here's the update: http://www.teamfortress.com/?tab=updates
For those who don't know, it's the newest update for Valve's Team Fortress 2. We got new weapons, new taunts, and new cosmetics, oh my!
Thoughts on the update? Predictions on the effect of the new weapons and taunts? Commentary about all the bullsh*t that will likely happen?
Personally, I was hoping for something about that Moon Base >.>
But still, CONGA!
Thanks for the addition, Fooby

Re: TF2: The Love and War Update
For me, the biggest thing is that sticky launcher nerf. Good GOD did I hate how much demos spammed that! I mean, chances are they'll still spam it, but at least it won't be as terrible as it was before the update.
....ah, hell, what am I saying? The biggest thing for me is obviously all the CONGA!
(Seriously, me and my brother spent a good hour just conga-lining on random servers )

Re: TF2: The Love and War Update
My dad gave me ten bucks for doing some work for him. When I put that ten bucks into my Steam, I thought i'd be able to get the Conga and a few other stuff. Nada. The Conga took all of the monies, but it was my first purchase, so I'm now premium and I got a hat! Woohoo, yay me.
