TF2 Blog: The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting!
Since our recent TF2maps.net Art Pass Contest, our level designers have gone back to their default state at the TF2 offices, which is to say, doing nothing, taking naps, eating lunch, and complaining. This has become a bit of a poison pill for the rest of the TF2 team, all of whom possess strong opinions about working (against it), naps (pro), lunches (very pro) and complaining (big fans).

Re: TF2 Blog: The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting!
You probably thought we were done for the day too, but we've barely started this blog post. The fine folks over at Team 17 are about to release Worms Reloaded this week. Being massive fans of their work, all the way back to the original Alien Breed, we thought it'd be fun to do something with them. So, we approached them and politely asked if we could include an iconic element of their game in TF2. The conversation was going swimmingly until they said that the best item to use would be the Holy Hand Grenade. We shuffled our feet and nervously explained that some soon-to-be-fired idiot had removed all of TF2's grenades.
But luckily, we were saved by our own shoddy workmanship. While we removed grenades from the game during early development, we left two of them dangling on the front of the Soldier as a teasing reminder of what once was. So, to celebrate the release, we're going to give a nifty Soldier visual update to anyone who buys Worms Reloaded before Thursday, September 2nd, allowing him to sport two Holy Hand Grenades and a new Soldier helmet. Here's what it looks like in-game:
LOL and in for one! This is exactly the kind of subtle push I needed to have an excuse for buying Worms Reloaded!Last edited by Arreo; 08-24-10 at 07:33 PM.

Re: TF2 Blog: The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting!
haha, nice one Arreo!
But I feel inclined to buy Worms JUST SO I CAN GET THE HOLY HAND GERNADE! ...is that a bad thing?
I love the idea, my favorite "colab item" of the 3 sets they've let out so far. Though the helmet looks dumb the grenades make me happy in places I should be
Oh, and hat contest is just them being lazyish, Id much rather read the witty comments of the game creators then some random player, who may or may not be able to do it as well.
