It’s out! The best part was the opener, where we see a dashboard bobblehead of this familiar face:
That’s the old Civilian class from TFC’s popular map, Hunted:
That and it was a play on whats-his-name’s viral video. The *BOOM! HEADSHOT!* dude. So, is the Civilian coming to a TF2 map soon? I’m sure this debate will rage over all of the internets. If not, will the Civvie Bobblehead at least be coming to the Valve store?

I would KILL for a Hunted remake. I hope Goldrush wasn’t meant to be a complete replacement.

“BOOM HEADSHOT” guy is FPS Doug, from the Pure Pwnage series. It was just that bit of it that became virally popular, chicken or egg I guess. http://www.purepwnage.com/
Also…. I never played Hunted. So I don’t know what I’m missing.

Ah, aka Fatty from Hunted. As to, “where’s fatty” in game? Either you loved or hated hunted. Premise was, team A; escort fatty to the exit. Team B kill him. Team A restricted to Soldier, Heavy or medic. Team B, sniper. With experienced players it was fun.

Frank is exactly right. You either loved it or hated it. If in the right mood, usually late at night, I could have fun playing it (if Nobuo was on the Asassin team it was really tough).

Original CS had escort maps, now that i think about it, are there any in css? although in cs you got full load out on each side, but the ‘escort’ got just a pistol and 200 armor.
It was actually a really cool twist at the time…from the same old…shoot n kill shoot kill plant bomb shoot kill defuse…etc
On the purepwnage thing, I actually thought those were great. I need to watch this seasons work.. Prob makes more sense if you understand a lot of the games hes talking about.. The whole WoW addiction thing was great. haha I prob had the same symptoms for Everquest…it just lasted years instead of months.
