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.

[Thatguy]

Perfect timing! So glad I am going on vacation right when this update comes up. WOOT! I get to miss all the pyro spam. Mabey there is a god after all...

 

[Badger]

i may or may not take a hiatus to get DoD started back up. I could stand some good Donner

 

[Adilor]

Humm...I wonder what maps they've chosen...

I'm guessing due to the amount of fire that will come during these times it could be similar to experienceing some sort of hell. Just imagine 32 ppyros. That's alot of fire. Am I the only one looking forward to the meet the sniper video?

 

[!Woodstock!]

I'd rather meet the sniper than burn in hell. This will be medic heaven.

Agree with you, I am more excited to meet the sniper video rather than the pyro updates...actually the only update that i will be intersted in is the spy update...
Sniper update may sound nice but 32 snipers on 2fort......dont want to talk about it

I understand pyro spam isn't going to be that fun to be around but I think it gives good players a big advantage since alot of people playing pyro won't really understand how to play the class that well. So you should join me in my practice at being an engi and like just wreck those pyros on an open field.

The video should be good, though i'm waiting for the meet the medic vid. That and the soldier updates. Should be fun.

There coming out thursdays xDDD

 

[Carne]

This is the best news ive heard all month !!!

 

[NinjaFluff]

All this pyro mess will have one upside for me... I still need one more medic achievement, the one where I"m healing a person who gets an achievement

 

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

Medics FTW!

 

[Viashimo]

Badger: agreed most heartily.

Also, rocket juggling pyros is going to be very very fun for the next week or so. Get it good at it

 

[PuddinPop]

I'm going to mix up between Medic and Heavy. It shall be a glorious weekend.

 

[Ducttape]

I usually play medic, and I like to uber pyros, so I'm looking forward to the update : )

 

[Mozilla]

Convoy will look like it's powered by rocket fuel out the back

 

[lillGIL]

I don't think it will be as bad as the first go round with the medic.... I love pyro so this should be fun
