I'm gonna become a professional gamer cause I've got such mad skillz, homies!!!! My skillz be unmatch3d by n e of u foolz!!!!!!!!!

;) Nice mature response there. I never said you had to be a professional gamer to have skill at the game, you don't actually need to play it very much at all in fps games, a lot of it is just reaction time and hand eye coordination. Although I guess these can be trained. Just because you play competitively doesn't mean your trying to be a professional gamer, a lot of people just find it more fun because it requires you to use some intelligence rather than just mindlessly spam the crap out of each other on a 32 slot server :whistle: It is also fun just in the social aspect of being in a team.

Also playing competitively doesn't necessarily mean your good, you can just play matches in a group of friends for a bit of fun, so does that mean they are professional leet gamers who talk like idiots?

Last night I got a duplicate Axtinguisher. Tonight I got a duplicate Ambassador, and a Blautsager which I never had as I barely play Medic.

Last nite on the server I regular on, I got three (3) FAN's in a row... Three of the same damn thing... What the hell? I have 7 of those things now...

The only unlock I want now is the medic hat, then i don't care what i get.

Two people I know have got them and I've seen a few dotted around the servers I play on. So far seen the medic, heavy and demo. The heavy one is hilarious :rofl:
i saw medic, demo, engineer and scout with hats. interesting..

I've yet to see another player with the Spy hat. I feel unique! :D

I just noticed a discrepancy with the Huntsman. The Sniper character model holds the bow of the Huntsman with his left hand and the arrow with his right hand. However, the view model shows the complete opposite (hence why it's on the left side of the screen). Imagine how you'd hold a bow and arrow if you're right handed. You would hold the bow with your left hand, and the arrow with your right (see here). Has anyone ever noticed this until now? It's odd that Valve would make a mistake like that, unless of course they did it intentionally for a reason that is currently beyond my knowing. But I doubt that's the case. I think one of the modellers forgot to make it right handed by default. In any case, I hope Valve fixes it with the next update.

The Sniper is my number one class and it took me awhile to notice it. The Huntsman is a great medium to close-quarter weapon. It's great for moving in close to the enemy to get a few quick kills. Anyway, I hope it's fixed before I get too accustomed to it.

could we get some pics of the hats for people like me who aint seen them before?

I posted a couple of pictures of my Spy with the Fancy Fedora here. This link, however, shows all the hats.

The_Decryptor: That last screenshot is interesting, to say the least.

Relax, I wasn't aiming anything at you -- just teasing at the entire conversation. :)

I noticed it. I assumed it was to do with interference with the HUD.

That's what I thought at first. I went over to the Steam forums and it's a major bug. I'd be disappointed if Valve doesn't fix it.

:blink:

Not to sound rude, but that's just being so nit-picky it's not even funny. :laugh:

It's a bug with the view model, not a size or colour issue. I fail to see how not tolerating a bug counts as being "nit-picky". :|

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
