I think people are kind of overreacting about the item drop thing. I've been playing to get the new items, but even though I've picked up a couple duplicates, I've found I'm generally just enjoying the game itself. If you go on just enjoying the game, you'll have the items eventually. It's sad people are so angry after such an awesome update, saying Valve ruined the game or something. Plus, I've seen that video clip but with Hitler hating something else. Come on, man.
Do I need to bother to explain me as thousands of more hates this so much? Its not about us just getting unlucky and getting no items at all except a dupe after almost 30 hours of playing. Go read the steam forums.
Oh, I've read the forums. They're filled with "Epic fail!" and "Die, Valve!" Meanwhile, those new maps are pretty sweet, aren't they?
yeah... I don't really like it either... In 2 days, I got 2 things (that's fine) : Kritzkrieg (sp?) and the second needle gun (don't remember the name). 2 Medic weapons. Medic is the class I never use...
You KNOW that half the maps they put out weren't arena maps. Geez, first the new unlockable items are all stupid, then you're angry because you can't have all these supposedly stupid items right away. Seriously, just go enjoy the game.
I can't say pl_hoodoo is a new map since I've been playing it long before the update, but alright. Also, I have been enjoying the game only to get 6 KGB's, 3 krits, and 4 sandwiches.
