The latest in what's becoming a long line of Team Fortress 2 updates now has a date. The upcoming Heavy-focused update, which will bring new weapons for the class as well as new maps and a new game mode, is slated to arrive next Tuesday as part of a week-long update spree for the game leading up to the big patch next week, all for free.

Currently, a community map called CP_Steel is now available for download. More surprises are due each day from now until next Tuesday, when the patch arrives. The patch brings three new unlockable weapons for the Heavy, all related to the 35 new achievements for the class as per usual. The new game mode remains a mystery, but the patch will include five new maps dedicated solely to the new mode, in addition to "a new Payload map focusing on more open spaces than Goldrush."

If you haven't done your duty as a medic yet, I suggest you get ready for a busy week of healing next week, as countless heavies flood servers worldwide. In the mean time, it's time to play the age-old Team Fortress 2 game of guessing who's next. With the Medic, Pyro, and Heavy now taken care of, I'm hoping for Soldier but expecting Demoman.
