**WileECyte** · 06-17-08, 06:51 AM

Later this week Valve will be releasing the highly anticipated (by pyromaniacs, at least) Pyro update:

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam, a leading online platform for the delivery and management of PC games. The Free Weekend is scheduled to begin this Friday at 11 am PDT.

Sounds exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing what the devs have in store for the more offensive classes. I wonder what the ones that AREN'T the axe will be...

Who? Im thinking its because the same 9 maps are boring and its a way to show how involved the community is in making custom maps that are fair and balanced.
