Super Awesome Team Fortress 2 Update News
Eschatos | 8:13 PM on 01.23.2008 17 comments


Valve are (is?) overachievers! Which is good for us. According to a source which shall not be named, the mega huge TF2 update coming soon is even mega-er and huge-er Previously we thought the update simply was some new achievements, an update to the medic, and two new maps. But now we know...
















*scroll down*























*more*















*random webcomic intermission*











Team Fortress 2 gets unlockable weapons! In the spirit of awesomeness, every class will gain access to new weapons and equipment. According to El article, one example of new stuff is:

"The first Medic unlock, for example, is called the Overhealer. Instead of temporarily buffing people's health to 50% above their normal maximum, it permanently boosts them to double their standard health. The downside is that it'll be dramatically worse at building Ubercharge - in fact, Valve are toying with not letting it Uber at all. "

If you want more info, just click on the damn link already.


And I forgot to mention, new game type.

I have no problems with unlocking, but I should still be able to choose old weapons. Still, this may make the medic more deadly than the default medigun because while Ubercharge doesn't last long at all, having your enemies be constantly at a massive health will put pressure on the other team. Will this make rushing a sentry easier?

So, if you had a medic with the regular healing gun and another with the Overhealer, you'd almost be invincible! I worry about balance but cool news man.

Hmmm... Could be interesting, but this is Valve we're talking about here. It'll be 5 years before we ever see the update! :p

This is a FUCKING TERRIBLE idea. Break the game balance and start people setting up games just to get achievements?

EPIC. FUCKING. FAIL.

Keep that bullshit on the consoles, maybe it will get them to play it.
