TF2 Australian Christmas Update

Postby ad_hominem on Sat Dec 18, 2010 2:22 am

Valve are spreading around some Christmas cheer to the Team Fortress 2 community, in the form of a festive-themed update. On top of the usual host of new weapons and hats, it seems like we're getting a new, melee-only game mode named Medieval Mode.

In this old-tymey Controlle Pointe map, players will battle through an ancient castle. How did the menly men of Team Fortress appear at a tenth century battlement? Simple. The Soldier angered a magician.

Team Fortress creator Robin Walker recently watched The Terminator, and so demanded that weapons could not be brought back in time. That's right: it's melee-only! Against Robin's strenuous wishes, however, clothing can go back in time, which is one way that Medieval Mode is different from The Terminator.

So grab your swords, and keep your clothes on, because things are about to get clothing-non-optional Medieval on your fully clothed ass!


As an added bonus, and of particular importance to Interlopers members, Valve have added a donation system to the TF2 store that allows players to give money to the creators of community maps. You can read all about the update on the Team Fortress website, and find the full list of additions and changes on the SteamPowered site.

I've never been a real big TF2 guy... just never got into it, but here's why this update is absolutely my favorite of all time.

-The new melee only mode and map is addictive
-One of our own will be getting paid soon for something he made
-The word filter in the medieval map is incredibly fun
-New items

The Jag is Epic, and so is it's creator Jman.

That word filter is awesome but annoying at the same time.
This update has made me proud to be an Australian.

well, the donation system is cool for the tf2 mappers and all.. but it isn't really motivating to work on maps for mods now (which is tons of more work)

It also doesn't work at all, so using it will only give you the damage penalty. Herf a derf
