Currently it's believed to be a hidden item like the Soldier's metal was.

[GuruGuru214]

Except that nobody's found it yet, so it's currently believed to not be released yet.

[Elvenmonk]

It's currently believed to be a lot of things right now. The TF2 forums are in hell over it.

[GuruGuru214]

To be fair, the TF2 forums are always in hell over something.

True. I think the Macupdate was my favorite.

Also, the first guy to get one of the rare golden wrenches (drop item) is a known hacker to have several VAC banned accounts, and his current account banned from a lot of servers.
The forums are at ultra-rage right now.

[Remolay]

my favorite complaint was "They dumbed down the menu for the mac version."

Now I've seen the old menu, and the old menu was not pretty. I think the new one is a lot clearer, more user friendly, and they have no clue what they are talking about.

[Elvenmonk]

I dislike the new menu. I felt nothing was wrong with the old menu, I find the minature buttons and such to be very ugly and less clear. Because now I've to scroll over to see what something is (I've a problem putting icons and their names in one only one I know for sure is the tutorial one). I much more liked seeing "Create a Server, Join server, Options" and such in text. I think they should have the option to let you choose which you prefer. I also dislike new steam. Now when I shift tab it'll either show up instantly, or whenever it feels like. (Usually when I'm about to be pounced/tounged/jocked/and charged or see a heavy). Then it'll only stay open for like 3 seconds, then show up again at a random time for a minute, then a last random time and it's for good untill I close it. Also now when I exit my games their exe's never close. so I have to get task manager and manually close them. And I just keep getting random bugs related to steam.

[Remolay]

The only bug of those I get is the game not closing.

I bet you anything they will have an Old Menu option at some point. I really think the old menu layout was ugly, but people liked it for some crazy reason. Oh, good way for it to actually close, Play in windowed mode. That seemed to fix it for me

[SillyStell]

Yeah I was arounds for both the new and the old and I gotta say I also like the new one. It's cleaner looking and it's good to see that the game updated from the old one but yeah that's just me.

I'm kinda glad that TF2 is getting more of a story now, it's not the greatest epic tale but it's interesting to see the characters develope. Not sure on starting to learn their real names but it doesn't change my gameplay so I don't care too much when it comes to naming them, it's kinda neat to know that they have lives outside of RED and BLU.

I only like Saxton Hale stories. Man, that guy is badass.

I'm still fairly new but meh, here's mine http://tf2stats.net/player_stats/alienmage

What did the "old menu" look like? I've started playing during the free weekend and I'm assuming it changed before/during the free weekend? (since I haven't noticed anything change from the time I began playing).

Basicly a background of either the red or blu teams. With enter and about 5 other options. It really isnt something to care about. Oh guys and another thing those forums went on about those stupid medals.(oh im gold im better, no the bronze are rockin) know what im bronze and I dont care. I where it and forget about it thats all there is to it.

I can't run it in windowed mode so, saddly, that's out for me.

I wish Valve wouldn't persist with this limited item nonsense. I'm fine with the Ghastly Gibus (Halloween achievements) and bonuses when purchasing games (L4D2, Sam and Max) since they're available on a wide scale. Stuff like the 1,111 soldier medals given to those quick enough to visit a page or 100 golden wrenches got through random crafting is what I find peeving. What's crafting got to do with the core mechanics of TF2 and why should this wrench be limited to a small number of the community?

Rest of the update looks good so far.

[Elvenmonk]

That new shot gun sounds alright. The 50% smaller magazine is a pretty big negative. I hope the other items are better.
Ofcourse I'm confused about the blog because it says they get them forever, when the code for the wrenches has a destoryed code for the wrench.
So, I'm thinking to the people who get it it'll be lost through time or lost to make a golden item of choice, or for a certain blue print.

[BoneFreak]

I don't necessarily care for the golden wrench.. there's no plus for turning people into statues.
But it is annoying, though.

You can use their bodies as metal.

But then again, you can use their weapons as metal the same, so it's not really that necessary.
