The hats are rare. And I mean rare. I've only come across a handful of people with hats, mostly Scout or Heavy.

[ViZioN]

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:

[External HDD Veteran]

[Minimoose]

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.

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

[Chanser]

Sorry can't help, but laugh at the medic hat. :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.

Now that you mention it... But then again I find huntsman to be made more just for ****s and giggles and use it really rarely. Though I don't play sniper much as well. And if i do now, i just run around throwing **** at everyone.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Could say it's a bug. It's easy enough to flip view models though, so you should try e-mailing Valve and pointing it out.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Yep, it's gotta be a bug. Anyway, I think people should be aware that you have to be signed into the Steam friends network in order to find items.

[Martyn]

I have four hats :)

Spy, sniper, engineer and medic.

Would you be willing to trade your Sniper hat for say, an Ambassador? :yes:

[Unimatrix Xero]

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

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Spy Hat (Fedora)

Demoman Hat (Afro)

Also?

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.

[The Plague]

What in the world is the PDA for?

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

@wicker: It's the Engineer's standard "destroy buildings" item. I'm wondering if that was a bit shooped, or a genuine screeny :p

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

It's genuine.

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

:blink:

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

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:

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". :|

[Ayepecks]

I just simply don't see how the gun being in the wrong hand is a major bug.
