Well after about 3-4 weeks off TF2, I went back on it and...
The Phlogistinator is the most broken weapon in the game. It makes more players turn to the "W+M1 pyro" tactic i.e spam the flamethrower and walk towards them. It annoys me so fricking much I disconnect the server.
okay rant over, I've only just recently found out community items have been released into the game as a weekly thing which I just think it's pretty neat since they are so many awesome ideas on the Workshop. However so far they haven't relesed that many good items, mostly miscs.
You can craft them or buy them for £6.99/$9.99 which is still really expensive but it sells. If you get an item into TF2, your pretty much set for life.
