TF2 Pyro Update THIS WEEK!?!

    Quote

    When’s the Pyro update? When’s the Pyro update? When’s the Pyro update? Okay, okay, we’ll tell you. It’s Thursday! (19th). When’s Meet The Sniper released? When’s Meet The Sniper released? When’s Meet The Sniper released? TUESDAY! (At 11am PDT/7pm GMT, to be specific).This will lead into another of Valve’s free Team Fortress 2 weekends, so even the most unsure can check out the Pyro’s three unlockable weapons and 35 new achievements (if they play fast enough). Also in the update are two user-created TF2 maps, which Valve say is to, “highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players.”

    TF2 goes free at 11am PDT (7pm GMT) on Friday, and will stay that way until you run out of weekend. This should give everyone, even the cheapskates and paupers, a chance to find out what the other non-unlockable chances to the Pyro will be. Speculate below.

    Sauce.

    I can't believe it. This is not the Valve we know. It was only 2 weeks ago that the Axtinguisher was announced so I can only guess that this means unlocks for the other classes will be released using the same timescale. At least I hope.

    ^ I have an idea...

    Same here, it got old. I just can't find any fun in it anymore.

    I'm tired of playing it aswell, Never thought it would/could happen, I'm thinking its due to the level design, which has no or only a little variety.

    If the update would be this week it would be sweet though, since I'm almost done with my exams and have to catch up a lot of gaming I missed due them and the pyro is one of my favorite classes

    also, it could be true, valve recently had a message on steam news that the update was close, but well according to valve time that would be When Duke Nukem Forever goes gold...

    Update is this week, and the maps are known only to a select few, so I'll just keep it to myself

    I need to test the game again, I haven't played since february it seems...

    Ah, I thought Valve might be taking on community maps for TF2 when a contact of mine asked me if I'd made any more TF2 maps!

    I'd love to work on another TF2 map sometime, but I really want to create my own assets for it.

    I thought it would be Redstone considering that Robin mentioned it in an interview a few weeks ago. A wild guess at the other map; CP_Steel?

    Possibly redstone fastlande broma or there's this one little gravel pit style map of I can't remember name of...

    But tbh I don't see any maps out now that are good enough for official release, just tbh.

    I wonder how they will reconcile the fact that many people will already have these maps, assumedly in a different version (you'd thing the author's would update them a little bit for the official relase) seeing as gcf's are overridden by foldered content...I'm probably getting ahead of my whatever...

    Valve probably bought the rights to those maps so they can do whatever they want with them (just guessing). This may be as simple as a polishing pass or major changes with a name change.

    I don't see how this has anything to do with anything, assuming they polish the levels to release standards, they'll probably either rename the levels entirely, or remove the _b3 or whatever suffix.
