Posting on one of Sony’s many holiday-related entries, user C-h-a-o-s happened to mention the issue many [...]

No More TF2 Updates This Year

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit! In a disheartening conversation with Shacknews, Valve’s Doug Lombardi has announced that our favorite team-oriented FPS won’t be seeing any more major updates until 2009. Team Fortress 2 won’t get any new weapons, no class upgrades or new achievements, no gameplay modes, nada. Seems the majority of the TF2 team have [...]

Heavy Update: Meet the Sandvich

Honestly, when Valve announced yesterday that the all-new gameplay mode for Team Fortress 2 was nothing more than a team deathmatch mode, I was a little disappointed. Especially given that the new mode is one-death-and-you’re-out, which is really kind of a detriment to those of us who aren’t that great at staying alive for more [...]
