We haven’t heard any news from the TF2 developers for quite a while. The latest entry on the official TeamFortress 2 blog was posted back in October, was about the “Meet the sandvich video” and other random crap stuff. Can’t really blame them since the L4D team needed to borrow the Team Fortress 2 team’s (redundant much?) help to tweak Left4dead’s multiplayer aspect, which is the main selling point of L4D. The TF2 devs are prolly taking a break from L4d-tasks right now so they finally reveal the next TF2 class in line for the class update — that annoying bastard The Scout!. Here’s the official word about the upcoming Team Fortress 2 Scout Update

The next class pack will be the Scout. One of the main goals we’re focusing on for him has been to
provide tools that make him useful in maps like Dustbowl & Goldrush. If you have any ideas for what you think would work well, post them over on the Team Fortress 2 Forum and we’ll take a look.

Just because they announced something, it doesn’t mean that they can start working on it. Valve devsare famous for spending generous amount of time (too generous for some impatient players) for updates that brings new features and highlights to their game (how many years did Counterstrike stay in beta again?). But hey, at least they updated Team Fortress 2 today with buffs that Engineers and Spy players can happy about.

* Teleporters will be upgradeable to level 3. As the teleporter is upgraded, the cooldown will decrease.
* Dispensers will be upgradeable to level 3. They will heal faster and generate metal faster as they are upgraded.
* Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground.
* We’ve made a bunch of minor changes by adding particle systems and upgrading the HUD to show things like deaths by critical hits, players that are overhealed, and giving more information to medics when people are calling for them.

The Level 3 Dispenser upgrade can really add value to Engineers in the game and the cloak meter refilling whenever you pick up ammo/weapons on the ground can prolong the Spy’s life considerably. Cheers to the TF2 valve team for this much needed update!

The unlockable for the Heaviest pugilists out there is the K.G.B. 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. Alternatively, the Heavy can switch to another weapon and use the boost to take out an enemy at range. The Heavy’s slow movement speed, and the K.G.B’s slower swing speed, make it a risky prospect.


The Heavy’s second unlockable, Natascha, slows enemies with her bullets. Anyone damaged by her will move slower for an instant, encouraging them to find cover or turn and face the Heavy, mano-a-tiny-itty-bitty-mano. Unfortunately, Natascha is slightly weaker than Sasha, so she takes longer to finish off a victim. As a result, Natascha’s great against fleeing cowards, such as Scouts & Medics, and less great against anyone actively trying to kill her master. Heavies that like to jump around corners and surprise groups of startled enemy crybabies will also find her very useful, although they should look for a Sasha-wielding enemy Heavy before they leap.
