    I'm normally a man of few words. I did check out the links though. Payload is obvious I feel.

    Probably safe to assume but no dates confirmed yet. #ValveTime

    Here's to hoping for tonight.

  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    Based on the frequency of them dropping updates during our TF2sdays, if I was forced to bet on a day I would bet tonight.

    you can use them like items in the halloween special map, it casts spells.
    (see what i posted before, or just try the new payload race map and equip this on a guy and try it!)
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    Updated OP with more details. Thanks @oni_dels for the heads up.

    If it is not already updated when I get home, I will update the IC server and see about starting the Halloween maps in rotation. (~2 hours from this post)

    and you can count on me to play the new map as much as i can in the next 24h to update y'all on how it work...
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    Updated started. It's a big'un and there are not many servers running so it might fill up pretty quick once I start running the new map. Hope to see you there!

    so basically little gifts are back, spawning randomly and giving to whom who found it a piece of costume.
    now also randomly placed on the map are little spell book, giving you a random spell (you can see it in your hud next to your life)
    each spell have a distinctive logo or icon, so they are easy to know which one does what, once you know all(ish) the spells.
    the spell books appear once every few minutes or upon killing someone

    also the new map is payload race, but no matter who pushes his kart first, at the end everybody goes to hell, and it's a race for the book (same one as previous hell). first team to book wins the match.

    you can also see a clock tower in the "outside boundaries" of the map. once the clock hits 12o'clock, a magical bridge appears, leading you to a book (so far gave me a rare spell each time), spawns you back in locker room with increase speed.

    LIST OF SPELL SO FAR:
    "rocket" jump (2 casts)
    invulnerability (for 1 second and full heal)
    invisibility (for 3-4 seconds)
    i saw a Monocculus ghost, not sure if it was cast by a player...(rare spell) (EDIT: OH MY ZOD YES IT IS)
    you can shoot bat like a rocket but that wil latch onto it's prey, causing bleed (2 casts)
    a bomb that once thrown explodes in a circle of exploding pumpkin, leavin the pumpkin for a while or until one explodes
    3 skeleton minion. (this is awesome)
    a fireball that once thrown is followed by a rain of fire (which according to the achievement i got when i cast it, is a rare spell.)
    a firebolt (2 casts)
    a shadowball that once thrown will teleport you to its destination (3 casts)
    the "mousetrap": makes you small, super fast (both in speed and attack rate), with big bobbly head looking. (rare spell)
    a nova-looking lightning aura of death (rare spell)

    also, not creepy at all.
