New update before year end, but no trading?

If this is true, medics should get the comments a lot.

There are so many different comments, some of them about failures and betrayals... not sure how those fit the theme.

I hope to game a bit later on and try to solve this.

A few people had this next to their name tonight and eventually I did as well. Any idea what it means?

it looks like a picture of invader zim. I think riot starter has it as his picture on steam but I dont think he had anything to do with it being by other peoples names. thats strange

A torch? Like maybe you were on a good kill streak without dieing? I'm not sure what else to think.

I can't tell you what it means, but I can tell you for a fact that that image is a certain Mr. Riot_Starter's icon

I dunno why its there, maybe somehow your computer has recognized that Riot happens to dominate, or that you were dominating Riot or something.

I don't know how it would happen but I guess somehow for you, his icon got cached in the wrong place or something... that's weird.

sneaky valve :2

Yeah, that is my symbol. Weird since I'm not in the game. Was this after we played on yukon and badlands?

Also, I haven't heard a single new announcer sound or seen any symbols on me or anyone else, ever. I played about 4 full maps since the update. Maybe we can determine what these mean by figuring out who gets what, and when they get them.

ARGH, I am pissed off. Last night I heard the new announcer sounds like crazy and nobody else heard them... at the time I did not know it was important and didn't really try to figure out what they meant.

Tonight, while intentionally listening for them, I only heard them ONCE. During setup on cp_steel, as a red soldier, at 0:25 I heard this one:

"You cannot hide anything from us, Mercenaries! And now you will pay the price!"

I cannot for the life of me figure it out.

Lots of theories here though: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1055159
