And So, the TF2 Engineer Update Begins!

[TBone01]

I would love to see a new map or game-mode come out of this

This is a little bitter-sweet, I'm glad that the Engy update is finally here but it seems like the end of an era now that all the classes have updates:crying:. Hopefully the do more class updates and not just random weapon updates like they did with the home-wrecker ect. It always makes for a fun week when they announce a full update.

Valve has hinted (a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away) that they want to add another class or two to the game.

Ok, i found something quite interesting. Look at these two images:

What do you notice? Well the bricks in the background have been moved, the second image is a little bigger and in the top right there is a light on which suggests that its day 1 of 3 (im just guessing here)

Drop rate has been reset

The new map might be a payload one, there is an old timey cart on the update page.

and....day 2

The Wrangler

 

[Ducttape]

new weapon.

replaces the pistol.

so...IF you don't switch away from the Wrangler, this is an awesome ability:

It doesn't SAY it, but how can you NOT take this to mean the new map will be a payload map:

They added the achievements as well http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/achievements/

Nice, a new payload map.

Looks like the engineer taunt kill involves his guitar

The wrangler seems a bit OP if you have an engi teammate helping you rebuild your sentry since you cant use the wrangler and the wrench at the same time you need some help in healing your sentry. That said I cant wait to use it .

 

[Fullmetal]

I know what I'm doing in the near future

Also more good news http://tf2.com/ if you read below the pics, the weekly drops have been increased .

 

[Ezekiel]

Sure didn't seem like the rates have been increased

 

[Kevimaster]

The rates haven't, the cap has, so those of us who use up our item cap the day it refreshes aren't out of luck.
