Up there, in the trees...
Because there seems to be a stir rolling around the t'old t'internet about what the upcoming Halloween event will bring, I thought I'd make this thread and have people post their line up of what they think we'll see. Just a bit of forum fun really.

The person to guess closest to the correct line up will win...I don't know yet, but i'll think of something.

Rules are simple, just copy and paste the form below and fill it in with your guess.

So the Form is as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

New weapons for each perk:

Commando: (Place your weapon choice here)
Medic: (As above, keep repeating for each other perk)
Support:
Sharpshooter:
Firebug:
Demolitions:
Berserker:


New specimen?

Just write what you think here. If you don't think we'll see a new specimen just say No new specimen.



New Zed Re-skins?

Just write what you think here. If you don't think we'll see a new re-skin just say No new Re-Skin.


Extras/Random?

Any Extra/Random items you might want to add


Start & End date of the event

The start and end date of the event


So that's your form. I will kick us off.

Commando: Thompson gun
Medic: Medic shotgun
Support: Nailgun (but really, I hope not)
Sharpshooter: Bolt action rifle
Firebug: Shotgun that spits fire
Demolitions: Nope.avi
Beserker: Rumor has it its a scythe, but I hope not

New specimen?

Nope.avi


New Zed Re-skins?

Same as last year's skins for the halloween event.


Extras/Random?

Didnt see it in your previous thing, but Ill add this to it.

One new map, M99 blanced (slightly), minor game mechanic bugs fixed, white listing of 2 maps, minor map exploits fixed (mainly EvilSantaLair and AbusementPark), new uptainable skin for doing X number of achievements, and a new DLC (hopefully another woman, but I don't care, a DLC is a DLC)




Not sure if this thread will stay up, or get removed.

New weapons for each perk:

Commando: Assault rifle
Medic: Medic weapon with underslung medinade launcher.
Support: Nailgun
Sharpshooter: Bolt action rifle
Firebug: Dragonsbreath shotgun.
Demolitions: Assault rifle with exploding bullets.
Beserker: Scythe

New specimen?

Possibly. I can't imagine them reskinning the zeds (see below), but you do have to kill 25 gnomes to get an achievement (topic's gone, so I can't re-check -_-) which is awfully similar to last year's "Get 25 scrakes".


New Zed Re-skins?

Same as last year's skins for the halloween event. I can't see them making the previous achievemnts invalid.


Extras/Random?

One new map, new female DLC.

New lines
It's REAPING time!

Nah.

New Zeds Reskins?
Of Course not! I love My Were Bunny scrakes!

Event Start and End?

New weapons for each perk:

Commando: Thomson
Medic: something like an M16 with a medic dart attachment
Support: Perhaps a shotgun with explosive bullets?
Sharpshooter: MORE HANDGUNS, or better yet, a lighter sniper.
Firebug: The pyro's taunt, rofl. That, or something like having a little incendiary effect over every weapon you own.
Demolitions: Remote explosives, heat grenades, Explosive bullets on every weapon, or something like a C4.
Berserker: THE FLESHPOUNDS' HANDS AS A WHITELISTED MUTATOR.


New specimen?

Fleshpounds with machineguns. The usual fleshpounds are teddy bears, even in HoE.



New Zed Re-skins?

The old ones, but as a separate texture files, so it doesn't blend with the summer events. THE CHICKEN IS ALL MINE AND MINE ONLY.


Extras/Random?

Extra would be something like a scarier pat, the last one looked like a huggable troll.

Start & End date of the event

Monday 29th - Sunday 4th of November.
They lost the event, their problem.

My kid is off school sick.

I blame EA.

:IS2:

Any form of DLC ever made whatsoever. EA's fault.

Edit: Tripwire, you might release wacky weapons at times that make me complain like an old grandma, but if you released a paid DLC that changed the sound of the Bloat's farts I'd buy it just because you guys are so goddamn awesome.
