Eh.. I'd post the screenshot of me getting Saints Row 3 for another TF2 item. But I think it's getting redundant now. :<

What item was it?

Since you asked. Also traded yet another today for a copy of Quake 4.

[DioShiba]

And now you know why I only make trades while I play the game rather than trying to do it on steam's trade system.

On another subject what's the purpose of TF2 Beta? I don't necessarily know the whole details behind that.

[Gold]

It's the same thing but they give you new beta items to test out in real use situations before maybe implementing them into the main game.

[Rosencrantz]

Valve's supposed to use it to play around with weapons before ultimately changing them in the actual game

they tend to forget about it, though. See: Cowmangler.

[Keychain]

Yeah, at first the Cowmangler was hilariously overpowered. Now, I'd call it a bit underpowered, but not a bad option if you want to get powerful shots into an enemy's holdup spot.

[Gold]

The original was not only over powered but completely server destroying.

[Keychain]

Hey, I like to use the Cowmangler often due to its less damage than the other launchers. Makes rocketjumping do less damage while at the same time you still have a weapon to use against the enemy (as opposed to the Rocket Jumper, which is a piece of shit for combat unlike the Sticky Jumper)

[Gold]

The unlimited ammo thing is nice too.

[Keychain]

That too.

considering the amount of weaponry we already have, what are your setups for each/your favorite class?

so far, frontier/pistol/gunslinger is a staple on my engineer, except on those rare situations when i have to play fully defensive and then i need that lv3 sentry, in wich case i either use shotgun/wrangler/southern or jag

as for the soldier, rocketlauncher/buffbanner-shotgun/paintrain-disciplinary action. if there are no medics around, i'd use a blackbox, and when its just about messing around with the other team i'd use the cowmangler.

i'm more of a support guy than anything.

[Lemonray]

Degreaser/Shotgun/Axtingisher for Pyro, pretty much without exception. What I use for other classes changes pretty frequently, but for a few items.

Sometimes I feel like the game is oversaturated with all of these different items :0

[Keychain]

I sold all my weapons. Need to get them all back now.

[Rosencrantz]

Wow Met, you and I are too similar with Engineer choices : x

Only difference is when I'm on the offensive, I've got the standard shotgun instead of the FJ. I'm going to exchange it with the Widowmaker as soon as I can find one (of course it's the one weapon TF2WH never wants to sell).

I roll Demopan in most scenarios, but I also pair up the LnL/Caber with the Shield to be fireproof when I feel like not spamming (and it's fun to watch W+M1ers wonder why I'm not instadying).
Soldier I just outright use the Black Box/Gunboats/Market Gardener because I rocket jump a lot. I'm still not entirely good at it yet though, but I can at least be insanely mobile !!
My Heavy's got a Brass Beast, Sandvich, and GRU. Spy's got YER/DR/Enforcer, Sniper I never use, Medic's got the Crusader loadout, Scout's been on the fence with a solid loadout, and Pyro's got the Degreaser + puffnsting stuff.

Yeah, I'm really bad at this still.
