Thread: TF2 Blog: The Über Update

Welcome to Day One of the Über Update--the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2.

We've got a lot to announce as we get closer to the update's release this Thursday, June 23rd. We've been holding one of the surprises pretty close to the vest for months now. We don't want to ruin it, but we'll give you four clues to get you guessing:

• 1.) It IS a "Meet the" short.
  2.) It involves ONE of the two remaining classes.
  3.) It's NOT the Pyro.
  4.) It's the MEDIC.

Let the speculation begin! While you're puzzling that out, why not click over to the first of our class pack announcements: Mobster Monday. To make sure everything was as accurate as possible, we went deep undercover at the most Italian place we could find, The Olive Garden. We asked the Mafia about a million questions, none of which they understood, because our mouths were full of all the free breadsticks the Mafia gives you when you visit them (they're not such bad guys).

All that hanging out with mob guys must have rubbed off on us, because we've decided to celebrate the Über Update by giving you an offer you can't (or at least shouldn't) refuse--an unprecedented WEEK-LONG FREE WEEKEND of Team Fortress 2, starting right now!

Last but not least, today's the day we reveal our all-new website. Want a link to it? Too bad--you're already there!

Fixed title since FEED is stupid.

So much awesome in one post.



WEEK LONG FREE WEEKEND! NO EXCUSE NOT TO PLAY

although the new items for spy/heavy look kinda useless

The Spy items seem very boring, sound ok, but can definitely be better.

with the exception of the new stealthy heavy weapon (which actually looks pretty cool) there's not anything interesting in these weapons. They don't really offer any new or intersting playstyles. For example, the new heavy shotgun with more ammo but less damage is completely useless. Why would anyone use that above the infinitely better sandvich or shotgun?

I kinda like the idea of the shotgun with more shots because I can be pretty accurate with the regular shotty. I am definitely looking forward to what this new minigun will be like. I can see many ninja heavy moments coming if it's good!

Ya give `em new and exciting weapons and they gripe about how imbalanced they are...
Ya give `em similar weapons with certain tweaks and they gripe about how boring they are...
