[quote=Mr. Magikarp;279892]I stopped playing TF2 because of two reasons: One, I think the game has lost a lot of its atmosphere going for it, thanks to all those new hats and weapons. (Here’s looking at you, Max Head)
The other reason is that the trading community is made up of greedy jerks.[/quote]
You can still play TF2 vanilla 
This must be sooo true 
Nope, never had a Max’s Head. It’s the whole 2:1 “Gotta make a profit” price-fixing mentality that gets me. It’s a pet peeve, I guess.
I do think a brink hat in TF2 would be a good idea. The Anger mask for Scout? The Freak mask for Spy? Definitely cool.
I never played vanilla TF2; I started playing shortly after the Spy/Sniper update. I was cool until the last Halloween Special when I realized that it was getting just a wee bit too much ridiculous.
They can release the Steam preorder Sloan facemask as a skin for the pyro or spy.
Also release the Anger bandana for all classes.
Stopped playing tf2 after the mann co update aswell…it’s more of a dress up game now 
have the SD team whip up a bunch of “Brink” stuff for TF2, I hear Valve will share the sales
Tf2 is kinda cool but the store thing… i mean if you can unlock a item playng the game sounds fair, but selling it its kinda meh, tf2 is a big fashion show now …
I like TF2 its been my fall back game for some time now. but Im hoping Brink will replace it. I dont need no stinking hat. If theres one thing to bring people into the game its not a free Tf2 hat. its Free weekends. that has been proven to work in many titles across steam.
Welcome to Fortress Gaben. After 9 years in development, hopefully my hats will be worth the wait.
