June 20, 2011 - TF2 Team





Welcome to Day One of the Über Update--the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2.



We've got a lot to announce as we get closer to the update's release this Thursday, June 23rd. We've been holding one of the surprises pretty close to the vest for months now. We don't want to ruin it, but we'll give you four clues to get you guessing:





1.) It IS a "Meet the" short.

2.) It involves ONE of the two remaining classes.

3.) It's NOT the Pyro.

4.) It's the MEDIC.



Let the speculation begin! While you're puzzling that out, why not click over to the first of our class pack announcements: Mobster Monday. To make sure everything was as accurate as possible, we went deep undercover at the most Italian place we could find, The Olive Garden. We asked the Mafia about a million questions, none of which they understood, because our mouths were full of all the free breadsticks the Mafia gives you when you visit them (they're not such bad guys).



All that hanging out with mob guys must have rubbed off on us, because we've decided to celebrate the Über Update by giving you an offer you can't (or at least shouldn't) refuse--an unprecedented WEEK-LONG FREE WEEKEND of Team Fortress 2, starting right now!



Last but not least, today's the day we reveal our all-new website. Want a link to it? Too bad--you're already there!
