Valve’s next Team Fortress 2 update will add new maps, new “surprises” and new weapons for the Soldier and Demoman classes. Somewhat surprisingly, a seventh top secret weapon is also en route. And it’s up for grabs.
The most recent update to Valve’s two-year-old shooter Team Fortress 2 did more than just fix bugs, it added a bunch of new sound files for the game’s Announcer, newly referencing friendships, betrayals and mercenaries. So, new game mode? Nope!
To try and make things easier on newer players, Valve recently instituted a “random drop” policy regarding rare items in Team Fortress 2. It was a bad idea. One they regret, and are looking at changing in the future.
Via email, Valve mentioned that it was developing a new demo type format — for Team Fortress 2 or perhaps all Steam Games. This comes as players have been breaking demo files after downloading new updates.
Some tweaks on Valve’s side of things may already have improved the controversial but still-evolving new system the company has been using to randomly grant players access to new items in Team Fortress 2.
After a week’s worth of largely entertaining Team Fortress 2 “Spy Vs. Sniper” updates, Valve has released new content for two of the game’s classes. But things aren’t exactly going as planned.
The Team Fortress 2 team isn’t quite yet ready to reveal what changes are in store for the game’s Sniper class, on deck to receive new unlockables, but it’s quite ready to tease those additions.
Valve’s team-based shooter Team Fortress 2 may have at least one more gameplay mode left in it, according to the developer’s Robin Walker. On top of that, a tenth class is in the works.
Eagle-eyed Kotaku reader Srider spied something interesting during his playthrough of the Left 4 Dead demo, amusingly enough on the back of an in-game box of “Chocobites” cereal. Seen in the first apartment in the game’s first campaign — and wherever cereal is eaten in Left 4 Dead — the back of the box promises a free six-inch Team Fortress 2 action figure. The catch? It teases us to “collect all 10!”
