  • Zombies, Merasmus, and More when Scream Fortress 2012 Kicks Off Tomorrow


    0 Not allowed! Not allowed!

    Tomorrow, the 2012 Halloween event for Team Fortress 2 kicks off in grand style. Featuring a new boss (Merasmus), a Wheel of Fate, magical potions, two new achievements, and a slew of zombies (666 of them) in the Mann vs. Machine mode.

    Remember how big we built Merasmus up back there? Well, we exaggerated a little. But only slightly! AWOOOOOOO okay, so maybe he isn't a top tier wizard – he basically knows three spells, and two of them are guessing your card. Good news for you! Unfortunately, he's also got access to the Bombinomicon, an eldritch tome of bomb magic, and that book is actually a pretty big deal down at the wizard store. Merasmus has also booby-trapped the control point—every time it changes hands, the Wheel of Fate spins, and one of many potentially horrible fates await you! Or maybe something good! Who knows? Magic, everyone!

    Among the many gifts dropping for you throughout our two weeks-long Scream Fortress event are spells you can cast on other items in your backpack to give them new effects– shifting paint colors, ghost summoning, flaming footsteps and more! Finally, you can live Glenn Danzig's dream of being an evil sorceror! One of the spells might even give you Glenn Danzig's eldritch phone number, so you can call him up and really rub it in! AWOOOOO!

    Last year, the gift grabbing was a free for all for all on the server. This year, the team from Valve figured out how to offer private gifts to each user, visible only to you and nobody else. Sounds a bit more fair.

      I hope that's not client-side gift dropping; seems vulnerable to hacking if that's the case. Also hooray for zombies in TF2. More VALVe zombie games aside from Left 4 Dead always piques my interest, although I am ironically bored of the oversaturated genre.
