As if the hoards of pyros weren’t scary sufficient, Team Fortress 2‘s Halloween event launched on Friday. Instead of doing something new, they’ve chosen to make each earlier Scream Fortress – going again to 2009 – playable as soon as once more. Get your spooks in when you can, as a result of the occasion ends on November the eighth.
They’ve additionally added 17 free Halloween primarily based contracts, which might be accomplished by fulfilling targets on every of the outdated maps. Killing the Headless Horsemann Boss will immediately full one of many contracts as an illustration, whereas reviving teammates in the course of the bumper automobiles part of the Carnival of Carnage will full one other. TF2 is bizarre in its regular state, and I’d forgotten simply how loopy it goes each October. Here’s an inventory of every new contract.
You also can hop on over to the official TF2 wiki for a list of the previous Halloween events. I’ll confess I can solely bear in mind a few them. The one the place you needed to defeat the Demoman’s eye, in its monstrous ‘Monocolus’ type stands out. Both that one and the ‘Merasmus’ occasion play like regular Red vs. Blu video games at first, however then the monster reveals up and unites each groups in an try and destroy it. It’s gimmicky as hell, certain, and the novelty wears off after one or two video games – however with the ability to dip out and in of the totally different modes from yesteryears ought to present just a few hours of enjoyable.
I don’t know the way I really feel about extending that into the primary week of November although – for me, that is my one and solely night time of Halloween indulgences. Keep enjoying till November eighth in the event you like, although be careful for the ghost police.
