I wonder what this means, I guess some type of betrayal mode? Perhaps a Demoman and Soldier class update?

Great news all round

Vizzys · « **Reply #2 on:** December 09, 2009, 07:55:57 PM »

sounds like a double update to me

they both need one so it makes sense

ManaByte · « **Reply #3 on:** December 09, 2009, 08:18:04 PM »

Engineers need one more!

pilonv1 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 10, 2009, 09:48:15 PM »

Medic & Pyro could do with looking at but they're pretty good as is.

Awesome. Fucking awesome.

Now it's only the Engineer that needs an update, right?

This is fuck awesome. This is how you keep a game fresh...Should have jumped on this game when it was selling for three bucks

They already did updates for Medic and Pyro.

Crushed · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2009, 04:06:21 PM »

Yeah, but the Medic and Pyro ones were waaaay back a long time ago. Once Valve gives every class the update (Engi comes last because it's the most played and most useful class in the game), they should try and spread out the love equally with mini-updates for each class, like new drops.

So people now think that the real twist at the end of this event is the engineer gets an update too.

ALmost certain. Game rules. Insane value for 20 bucks.

Speculation is thta crafting will allow for Borderlands style +stat items that you can trade, thereby allowing Valve to ease off the updates and give the game some life.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2009, 05:49:13 AM »

Surprisingly low amount of demos/soldiers on my local servers tonight. Still too many fucking snipers.

GilloD · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2009, 08:42:21 AM »

I was on FIRE today. I had my greatest rounds ever. My team went 17-2. I picked up close to 20 achievements and a ton of new stuff. It was insane- Must be all that CoD.

Crushed · « **Reply #23 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:19:03 AM »

holy shit just check the updates

demoman's name and house revealed
valve insults soldiers
first two new weapons for demoman are a HAUNTED SWORD and a SHIELD YOU CAN CHARGE WITH

GilloD · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:06:09 AM »

Holy fucking shit. Everyone is all like "Uhh landmines?" and Valve goes "HOW ABOUT SOME MOUNT N BLADE IN YER TEAM FORTRESS?!". An entire melee fucking kit. Crazy

GilloD · « **Reply #25 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:10:47 AM »

Not just a sword, btw. A HAUNTED, soul sucking, decapitating sword.

Yes, that is me. And my friend was a scout.

I usually play engineer, sometimes medic, with the occasional scout. PLEASE UPDATE ME OK. I BEG FOR A LEVEL 4 SENTRY WITH NO BONUS TO DAMAGE BUT SOME SPY DETECTION. PLEASEEEEEE. Or maybe instead of a secondary gun, a handheld x-ray machine that let me see spies through their disguises. That would be amazing.

no, they'll just become available after the update on thursday, with a bunch of soldier and demo achievements and probably some new maps

you can get them just through random drops (every 25 minutes there's a 20% chance for a weapon, there's some crazy random probability and timer for hats), through class achievements, or through the new crafting system once people start getting blueprints

Nah, everything unlocks on Friday, I thinlk. Maybe later? Both class updates, secret weapon and crafting update. Maybe an ENGINEER SURPRISE?!?!?

sounds good, thanks. I wanted to get back into TF2 but stupid finals get in the way.

Engineer surprise would be the best. My favorite class and the only one I think I'm good at.

I have like 16 hours of playtime and I never got a hat.

Also, this is weird: EVERYTIME I unlock a weapon, sometime in the next 40 minutes I 'win' a dupe. I have 2 of everything I earned and nothing else

Quick question, how do you actually get items? The only ones I've gotten were from the halloween by doing the acts described in the achievements.

Either by random draw (Every x minutes you have x% of a chance to get an item) or by achievements- You unlock new items by getting 10, 16 and 22 achievements.

Hats are a myth and never drop, ever.
