Free Team Fortress 2 update goes live tomorrow |
Ó
Team Fortress 2 (also on Xbox 360 and PS3), one-third of the killer combination that is Valve Corporation's The Orange Box, for the PC is getting its biggest patch yet tomorrow, right on the dot of 11 AM PST. Featuring improvements all across the board that's sure to get the team-fragging experience into the next level, this one is definitely not one to be missed. And what's the best thing about it? It's absolutely free!
Before we move on to the ridiculously-long changelog, however, there's also the deal about the new map that gets released. It's the Badlands map, a control point map based on its predecessor in Team Fortress Classic. Featuring rocky terrain, a fast-paced layout, and sweet sniping/sentry construction spots, this is definitely the map to pick if you're getting just a bit too used to the scenery of Granary or 2Fort.
Now, here's the changelog!
Team Fortress 2:
- Badlands released
- Added a new access point to the stage2 attacker gates (drop-down left from spawn), allowing attackers a way to reach the left route without being subjected to the spam and sentry gun fire
