Day 2 Sniper Update: Payload Race + 2 Arena Maps
Posted @ 5:08 PM, May 13 2009, By: Hectic Glenn In Team Fortress 2
Day two of the Sniper update and we will see a new game mode Gladiatorial Cart Combat where both teams must guide their own cart up hill to a finish point. The map is called Pipeline, and apparently if you stop pushing for a second it rolls back down to the bottom of the hill again.
The update will also bring two new Arena mode maps called Nucleus and Sawmill, which look very sleek. See the full sniper update including a postcard from the Sniper here.

Team Fortress 2 Update…with hats
Posted @ 8:32 PM, April 20 2009, By: Hectic Glenn In News
A new update has just been released for Team Fortress 2 with some interesting changes - Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features
- Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned
- Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements
- Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported
- Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch
- Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing
Good to see some extra options for stats in there. But the new backpack menu is all unknown territory still. Deleted items? What could these be? Forum member Sliver has taken an early peek and found a 'headwear' section for each class. There is a variety such as a Sniper's hat + toothbelt, Engineer's miner helmet, Scout's batting helmet, or the Demoman's afro! See the full changelist here.

Second Scout Unlockable – Bonk Energy Drink & Achievements
Posted @ 4:00 PM, February 19 2009, By: AciD In News, Team Fortress 2
Today is Thursday and that means there is a new update update on ' The Scout Update' website. Today's update reveals 35 new achievements and the second Scout unlockable weapon, Bonk! the energy drink.
Runnin’ rings around all them molasses-slow dummies out there on the battle- field is thirsty frickin’ work. But when it comes to quenchin’ that thirst, only one thermonuclear thirst detonator packs all the “Atomic Punch” you’ll ever need. Bonk! is fulla radiation, which as we all know is pretty great for givin’ people superpowers. Just one can’ll blast ya into a few second rush of radioactive energy so powerful you’ll be dodgin’ bullets like they ain’t even there!
Achievement examples: - I'm Bat Man
- Dodgers 1, Giants 0
- Caught Napping
- Batter Up
- Artful Dodger
- Retire the Runner
The update also warns "After the beneficial effects of the radiation wear off, drinkers have reported experiencing feelings of lethargy that can last several seconds". You can visit The Scout Update web page here.

Scout Update Website Live – Release on Tuesday 24th
Posted @ 3:30 PM, February 17 2009, By: AciD In News, Team Fortress 2
There is only one mysterious Sandman bat, be sure to check the update page every day to see more updates! You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way. The farther the ball flies before ricocheting offa some chucklehead's skull, the longer he's gonna be stunned. And guys who think they're tough because they're invulnerable? It works on them too. Now the bad news: You can't double jump when you're carrying this little beauty. On the other hand, double jumping never put anybody in a coma.
Update is coming on Tuesday 24th February: The Scout Update page

There is a new post on Team Fortress 2 blog. There is also a new sub-page called movies where you can find all released team videos as well as a sneak peek of upcoming ones. Blog post mentions that scout update is nearly done and there is only some artwork left to do.
