OK, so it’s a Bethesda marketing stunt (having published the last two Fallout games and owning id Software, the creators of Quake and RAGE), but these are cute enough to walk right on by that.
There are five items in total: the Sniper’s Anger (based on the Resistance in Brink), the Soldier’s Original (based on the rocket launcher from Quake), the Engineer’s Pip-Boy (based on, well, the Pip-Boy from Fallout) and Wingstick (based on a weapon from RAGE) and the Heavy’s Tamrielic Relic (based on a helmet from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim).

Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 11:55 PMDon’t get me wrong, Ive played 1800 odd hours of TF2 and mapped for about a further 700hrs.. For the best part of 4years I played the shit out of it..
Sadly, TF2 reached and breached my clutter threshold a few months ago.. It really is a shame..

Monday, August 8, 2011 at 10:22 AMI’ve never understood the big deal with hats in TF2. Why bother? It’s not like your opponents or teammates are going to sit around not killing each other long enough to look at one another’s headwear.
