It's being called the biggest update yet for Team Fortress 2 and it's coming next week. Valve has just announced that the long awaited update for the "Heavy" character class for their hit multiplayer shooter will have the most new content released for the game to date.

The update, which will be released next Tuesday, August 19, will have lots of stuff besides the additions to the Heavy class. That alone will feature three new unlockable weapons and 35 new achievements. It will also have a new (and still unrevealed) gameplay mode with a whopping five new maps made by Valve. It will also contain a new Payload map and finally a new community map map (which you can see an image of above). The new map, cp_steel, was made by Jamie "Fishbus" Manson and is the first of the update's new features that will be revealed every weekday until the update's release at this web site.

This is HUGE.
Literally.

It's going to be a pretty big download with all those maps.Posted at 4:59PM on Aug 12th 2008 by Einhanderkiller

You know what that means... more ACHIEVEMENTS. :D

Update won't do anything for me. I bought Orange Box but never bothered to install TF2. I suck at MP shooters and quickly tire of dying every 10 seconds (glares angrily at CoD4).

well bysmitty, the beauty of tf2 is there is a variety of classes n not every class is guns a blazing runnin in shootin everything that moves. u have medics, n engies, n spys etc. u already have OB, so u might as well try out tf2. u wont regret it. (n ps tf2 is the exact oppostive of CoD4)
