I suppose this is news really, and news that you have heard somewhere else. Oh well, you can have it again, and eat it all up because it’s news about the lovely TF2. It’s been updated with the ‘classless pack‘ which means King of the hill, tweaks, new hats and new maps.
The new maps (Yukon, Offblast and Viaduct) look quite pretty, the former introducing official snow into the mix. As I’m yet to actually play them though I can’t really comment past the screenshots, but I’m confident they will be good – hell, Valve are yet to do a bad map for TF2.
King of The Hill has been introduced which makes me happy. I’m not sure what this will play like with my primary class being spy – it depends on how big the capture area is I suppose, but I’m sure that it’s going to be a demo mans dream with everyone crowded in one place all the time. Maybe as far as spy is concerned it will be a good time to test out dropping the cloak and dagger for the dead ringer. Humm..
Anyway, what I’m most excited by though is the hats – because I’m a shallow creature at times, and just have a general penchant for headgear. So far I’m yet to get 1 hat in TF2, but with the injection of 18 more (count em) I’m sure this will change. No doubt though I’ll just get 3 for the medic and that will be it for 6 months as the TF unlock system hates me. It hates me like I had sex with it’s mother. In it’s bed.
What else? Ah yeah, the tweaks. There are a couple that really jump out at me as being pretty major. Namely; sandman hits no longer affect ubercharged players and instead of losing double jump the scout now loses 30hp for having it, sappers now sap both teleporter entrances and exits at the same time when just placed on one, but can be knocked off from either, and lastly capturing the intel causes 10 seconds of critboost for the entire team.
As I said, I’ve not played this yet and in case you were wondering, yes, this is a past the last minute post written hastily because of the million other things I’ve had to sort out. That’s just the professionalism and top quality journalism you get around here you know. Oh, and it looks like the next update will be for the soldier.
