Great to hear! Hope they remove the cloud sync error window when I start games in offline mode on PC version as well, as it sometimes doesn't show when you start game from tray icon, until you open Steam and interact with the window.

When the TF2 item servers go down, everyone is stuck with stock weapons, so that's not entirely true. That being said, I'm sure community servers would come up with some hack or other to avoid this.
Weapons can def be modded in, it has been done years ago.

Even if they can't for some reason it sure beats game being unplayable, and default weapons are still great

Quoting: M@GOidThis week I saw news about Ubisoft pulling the plug on a lot of its games, one just 3 years old.

It stuff like this that makes me a fanboy of Valve. While they are not perfect, spending money on their stuff is a much better investment than on the majority of other big gaming companies.
