That makes me wonder, if that new item is specifically made to be gained by what was showed in that video?

Probably not.

The video shows that some aspects of the upcoming trading system are in the game's code.

A spy walks into a bar.

The bartender raises an eyebrow and asks, "What are you doing?"

"I am looking at my spy kit," replies the spy.

"Why are you holding it over your head like that?"

"This is no concern of yours!" snaps the spy, clearly annoyed. "Now get me a drink before stab you in the back, you ignorant fool!"

The bartender turns away and mumbles to himself, "I don't get why he always has to be so crabby."

Wouldn't it be great if valve gave the idle players something that looked ridiculous and couldn't be removed? I would find that quite funny indeed.
cmon you know that would be just adorable!

AHA

Look

"TF_HonestyHalo" "Cheater's Lament"

"TF_Wearable_HonestyHalo" "Aura of Incorruptibility"

"TF_CheatDetected_Title" "WARNING"
"TF_CheatDetectedMinor" "Your account has been flagged for circumventing the item distribution system. We have removed the items that were illegally obtained.\n\nFuture violations will result in the loss of all your items."
"TF_CheatDetectedMajor" "Your account has been flagged for circumventing the item distribution system. We have removed all items in your inventory.\n\nFuture violations may result in your account being disabled."
"TF_HonestyReward" "Congratulations! Your Honesty has been rewarded with a new hat!\n\n(Some other players were less scrupulous, and have been less fortunate)"

Fuckin awesome if the idles are forced to wear something that looks completely ridiculous.

Over the next few days we'll be removing all TF2 items that were earned using external idling applications. We're going to adopt a zero tolerance policy for external applications used to manipulate the persistent item system. Due to us not having a policy in place prior to today, this time we're only removing the items earned through cheating the system. Going forward, if we find users using external applications, we'll remove all of their items. If you're interested, only about 4.5% of the players in TF2's community will be affected by this cleansing process.

Meanwhile, everyone who took the moral high road will soon be finding a new hat in their inventory. We've also significantly increased the chance of finding any of the existing hats.

We realize there is a high level of demand for items, and we're still working on systems to allow you to find them in new ways (via Trading, and crafting duplicates into desired items). However, we need to draw the line at running external applications.

Enjoy your honesty halo guys

Also this thread posted 2 hours ago is rather hilarious in hindsight

Even though 95.5% of the community (according to Valve) has one? Good luck.

I could care less about the hats the only ones Ive seen that Id consider using are the original sniper and solider ones although I havent seen many of the new ones.

To wrath of steam.

From this:

To this:

From the first link, where it says overlapping/invalidly spaced item, is how they find you've been idling. This guy obviously had been so valve took close to everything. lol

95.5% of people who bought TF2 have one.

The actually number if people who will wear it is much lower.

I just tried it on all my classes, looks fugly on most, though I like it on the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy.

Anyone got a TGA to Jpeg converter by any chance? I want to post some screenshots of it.

They also fucked up the krit while invisible thing. I was playing spy on turbine and when we capped the intel I was just a flashing red orb until I got raped.
