Valvetime. It'll be delayed on-time and released in a few weeks. Then everyone will get stats resets.

I like the way the people at CCP (maker of EVE Online) put it for their releases: Soon™.

And yes, the TM is intentional.

I'd prefer my updates to come soone®.

MEET THE SNIPER TOMMOROW! *drools*

**Fish #641** · 06-17-2008, 02:54 AM

From Steam News:
"Valve today announced a set of new releases for Team Fortress 2, the title named Multiplayer Game of the Year by PC Gamer and Gamespy.com.

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam beginning this Friday at 11 am PDT."

Wow, that was quick. Only a couple of days until!

I like playing Pyro better than Medic so hopefully this time I'll get more of the achievements.

**Skud** · 06-17-2008, 02:12 PM

Lots of pyros will actually be entertaining, no?

**MagnaCentipede** · 06-17-2008, 02:43 PM

The only problems I see is finding time to reload, having to loot for ammo, and the 50-foot-flame issue.

**Fish #641** · 06-17-2008, 04:35 PM

The only problem I see is that I KNOW WHAT ANOTHER ONE OF THE UNLOCKS LOOKS LIKE! CHEA! 1:15 of the Meet the Sniper video.

**Skud** · 06-17-2008, 06:23 PM

Freeze gun?!

Well played fish.

**Jimmy_Smack** · 06-17-2008, 06:46 PM

Now, are you sure that was a freeze thing. It looked like a vase for flowers. Or a horn.

**Fish #641** · 06-17-2008, 07:00 PM

If you look after he gets shot, you can get a better look. Sorry that I don't have a time for it. Honestly, it looks like a flare gun. :/ I want originality. When I saw it shooting something, I thought it could be a heat-seeker, but I don't know how that would work.

**daithi1** · 06-17-2008, 07:18 PM

Is meet the Sniper out now? if it's not what video are you talking about? If it is where can I find it?

**Beatnik** · 06-17-2008, 08:09 PM

It indeed looks like it's a flare gun. Scroll down to the 6th post in the link below to see yourself. My guess is it's a flare/napalm gun for area control. We'll find out either way tomorrow!
