Valve Releasing A Hot And Heavy Update
First they updated the Medic, sending out his healing rays, then they did the pyro, sending out his fiery waves, and now they move on to the big guns, the Heavy, sending out his bullet haze. Next Tuesday, Valve will be releasing a 'heavy' update to Team Fortress 2, and the biggest part of the update will be the achievements and tweaks they are giving the Heavy class. They've setup a site that will update daily with new items to be featured in the patch. So far it only has up the new map coming with the patch, CP_Steel, a Attack/Defend map in which capturing the offensive points actually alters the routes available to each team on the map.
Also coming with the update is a new gameplay mode that I'm sure will be revealed on the site during one of the daily info releases. Along with the patch coming next Tuesday, Valve will be throwing a Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam the weekend afterward (22nd to the 24th) in which anyone can get on Steam and download a free trial of the game to play for the weekend; a great way for anyone to try out the updates to the Heavy class. I'm a big Medic fan myself, but I'm excited to see just what they give my lug-headed compatriots to help waste away the opposing team members.
