Valve is planning big things for Team Fortress 2. %26Uuml;ber things, one might say. Yesterday, the studio launched a new TF2 website and began teasing the arrival of %26ldquo;the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2%26rdquo;, aka the %26Uuml;ber Update, heading for Steam this Thursday, June 23rd.
Thankfully, Valve was more forthcoming with information about two new classes associated with the update. Revealed yesterday during Day 1 of the %26Uuml;ber Update countdown, the %26ldquo;Mobster Monday%26rdquo; pack brings three new weapons with varying perks to both the Scout and Heavy classes. It also includes a new payload map entitled Barnblitz, wherein players can %26ldquo;show your enemies you can 'hit the broad side of a barn' (be really good at the Mafia) while you make them 'buy the farm' (quit their Mafia jobs and becomes farmers).%26rdquo;
Judging by the hype, and the significant freebies detailed in 'Mobster Monday', it appears TF2 players are in for a truckload of new content come Thursday. An %26Uuml;ber truckload, no less. And to sweeten the pot, Valve is offering newbies an opportunity to experience the uberness for no money right now down during its %26ldquo;Week-Long Free Weekend%26rdquo;.
For daily updates on the %26Uuml;ber Update, update your bookmarks to the %26uuml;berly updatedTF2 blog.
