Team Fortress 2: Heavy Update incoming!
This is pretty short notice, but the Team Fortress 2 heavy update comes in tommorow (August 19). Not only does this update give thirty-five achievements for the heavy, it also brings in a new community map (Steel!). I have cp_steel_b4 running now on my team fortress 2 dedicated server, but it will be nice to have it (so people don’t have to download it from me).
The update also brings new unlocks for the heavy. So far it is the K.G.B (or Killing Gloves of Boxing) and Natascha (level 5 minigun). I was hoping for a completely different gun for the heavy, but Natascha will have it’s uses (slows down the enemy for an instant, but does 25% less damage than Sasha). The KGB gloves are going to be a must have. Any time a Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B he receives five seconds of guaranteed critical hits. This crit-boost can be used to punch and kill further enemies, extending the boost time.
This update also brings a new PL map, Badwater Basin. Unlike pl_goldrush, which is three stages, Badwater Basin will be one stage and will offer the Blu team a better chance of completing the stage. When valve released their stats about which side wins more on a particular map, it seemed that the red team (defenders) usually (about 70% of the time) were successful in defending goldrush.
For more info on the heavy update, here is a link to Valve’s site.
It is going to be awesome to play this update, because I love being a heavy (and love playing medic). Hopefully it wont be like the pyro update (where half the team would be pyros and nothing would get done).
As soon as that update goes live, I will update my TF2 server and hopefully get some play time in! You can find the info for my Team Fortress 2 server right here.
Edit: I bring to you! The SANDVICH
