Scream Fortress is COMING, Mortals!

[tf2.com]

Very soon, fear-fans, the Halloween update other game companies aren't BRAVE enough to give you is coming! And those other companies are right to be hesitant! Last year's Scream Fortress update hit Valve with a tidal wave of wrongful death lawsuits! That's right: Everyone who played last year's update DIED mysteriously! The only clue was that everyone's hair had turned snow-white!


They died of FEAR, reader! Or possibly premature hair-graying! We're not doctors. No, OUR jobs are to be your ringmasters at this year's Scream Fortress Update! Check out the teaser Update Page to get a taste of what's coming!

ball escort? is that you?

 

[TyeZenneth]

Bumper cars?
Sure Valve, if you say so.

 

[Shogun]

Oh man. I've never really been that big a fan for the Scream Fortress Events, but Bumper Cars looks like tons of fun.

 

[Fantaboi]

It looks like it's going to be bumper cars with a ball in the middle to score at each end, reminds me of something
hmmm

 

[puxorb]

So is this going to be actual bumper-car racing? Proper vehicle support in sourceMP would be really cool.

Asylum.

I am so sorry that we never took you seriously with Pipeball.

Are you implying Valve thinks this is serious? Everyone knows valve loses their senses when they start writing up holiday stuff.

What map is it. What map is it. Circus theme? What map is it. Clowns. What map is it? What map is it. Honk.

 

[Ælement]

Who knows. Asylum may become the first extremely part time (halloween only) valve employee

 

[spectrophage]

bumper cars on fire maybe, but just plain bumper cars, I'm not so certain...

 

[chemelia]

The map is sd_doomsday_event, for those wondering(the strongman hammer thing is the launcher, which, when capped, sends you to the bumper car minigame).

Somehow the teaser page reminds me of this

Lucky you
it's in the map too.

From facepunch, using "addcond 82" puts you into bumper car mode. If the map is not doomsday event, then you just float in the air.

Looks like the bumper car model is provided by the map. Could this make custom karts easier?

If so, this could be incredible for custom racing gamemodes.

We can probably parent models to the players, but no idea how things will work yet.

haha. no. you can't. because valve decided that is bad and anything parented to players is not rendered. unless you want to double parent and other such shenanigans.
