I'm seeing Halloween health pick-ups in TF2 post-Christmas. I really don't think this should be happening.

Is this only on one server or is it happening on all servers?

DDarthBrandon 2012-12-27 github

Offline against bots, actually. I haven't tried going online yet.

MMrSchism 2012-12-27 github

Marked as bug. I asked because it's not uncommon to find servers using seasonal skins past season.

It's been perfectly fine the past couple weeks, but suddenly on 12/25 or 12/26 the health pick-ups turned Halloween. The ammo pick-ups are normal, but I guess they don't have Halloween versions. Occasionally characters will drop a Christmas gift box upon death, and the maps still have the Christmas decorations (lights and stuff), so everything else seems normal.

It's full moon - maybe they changed it intentionally? If so, they should be back to normal now.

DDarthBrandon 2012-12-30 github

The health packs are indeed back to normal. I'm brand new to the game ever since being accepted to the beta a few weeks ago, so I have no idea how they do things. I didn't think those Halloween-themed pick-ups should have been there, but if they bring them out for a few days every full moon, that would explain it. It did last a few days, though. Not just one night.
