It's been a busy afternoon here iterating, polishing and playtesting a blog post to commemorate Team Fortress' one hundredth update. As often happens, we emerged from thirty minutes of Valve Time , covered with bed sores and sporting full beards, to discover weeks had passed. While we were out, somebody here shipped 19 more updates originally scheduled for release in 2008. At any rate, welcome to the 119th Update celebration, as we look back on three(ish) solid years of updates!

You knew we wouldn't make you read through a mess of self-congratulatory back-patting if there wasn't some free stuff for you at the end of it, right? Introducing the Primeval Warrior, Grizzled Veteran, Soldier of Fortune and Mercenary medals. Let those young punks know they're fighting alongside a REAL mercenary with some tours of duty under his hole-riddled belt. You've put blood on the ground in your time. And now you've got the metal on your chest to prove it, son.
