EDIT THE 2ND: Apparently the two links given below are fake, so unless you like conspiracy theories, don't waste your time.

EDIT THE 1ST:

This was posted on TF2maps.net .... Very sneaky Valve.

This one has much more credit, so I will assume it's real. This, compiled with other tidbits from past actual blog posts by Valve suggests King of the Hill gameplay, and with a 2 CP and 1 Flag HUD.

How it works:

The flag will likely be in the middle, with one control point on either side. To win, you must take the flag, bring it back to your base, and stand on the control point with it to earn points. Either at the end of a certain amount of time or total of points, the team with the most wins. Thoughts?

I figured the two classes I play the most would be last to update, soldier I guess is ok.
 
Hehe. I hope this is true, because recently I have been playing a lot of soldier. I'm actually pretty good with him. So I really hope that this is true. Engine update sounds wicked cool too.
 
as much as i love playing soldier, im a little worried that they are going to rui the class. i mean this is valve were talking about.

as far as the king of the hill goes, it couldnt hurt the game to add more options of how to play. llok at C:SS, there must be at least 12 different mods to that game. However, i might play it a couple times, and then go back to pl.
 
Besides all my excitement... I'll trade someone a few flare guns and a razorback for an ?bersaw or sandman ;)
 
I call it a load of a fake. If it were there, then surely more than one person would upload it to prove it. Would it not be written in the style of the soldier, as has the previous blogs been for a l'il while. Why write out a perfectly good blog entry knowing you aren't gonna post it. I WANT ANSWERS!
 
im so betting there are grenades in the soldier update, hes always wearing them and he juggles them only makes sense that he can use them.
 
I'm pretty sure it's fake.

If it was an actual RSS feed update, my Googler Reader would've caught it and put it up immediately. There's also a lot of other pieces of evidence being brought up, including people finding evidences of shopping due to slightly varying color values, etc.

I'm not believing it.

Besides, when was the last time Valve openly admitted a game mode without making an update page for it?

EDIT: Also, the font for the fake post versus the real post is different. It's most noticeable in the capital "I"s. The one below has serifs, the fake one does not (look at "Item Trading" versus "I've")

Goldrush update and a Heavy Update. For the Goldrush update they already announced everything before the update page already anyway. For the Heavy update they made a blog post saying they'll introduce a new gamemode. ;)

Regardless, the post itself is fake.

I'm not saying that Valve won't update Soldier next (they very well might), but this wasn't a real post.

And the Goldrush/Heavy update is not a trend they've been following recently anyway. It's always been a big show, and this wouldn't follow.
