Beginning today gamers may find details of "The Heavy" Update being disclosed via http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/. The site will reveal new information and screenshots each day, as well as a special installment to the "Meet the Team" series of video shorts.
"The Heavy" update is the largest update to Team Fortress 2 since it was first released as part of The Orange Box last October. In addition to offering new unlockable weapons, achievements, "The Heavy" update also includes a brand new gameplay mode and a number of new maps.
The rollout culminates next Tuesday, August 19 when the update will be made available to all owners of Team Fortress 2.
To give all gamers a chance to check out the new gameplay introduced in "The Heavy" update, Valve will be running a Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam, a leading online platform for the delivery and management of PC games. The Free Weekend is open to gamers the world over and scheduled to begin Friday, August 22 at 11 am PDT.
If you don't own TF2 yet, then this is definitely the time to check it out. I can't wait for the release, and I have to admit I'm more excited for the new game type than anything else.
HUNTED HUNTED HUNTED!

I'm surprised the Heavy is next, although.. they are somewhat underplayed.
All be all on it, just hoping none of those commie awards are ANYTHING like peer review (seriously guys... stop it with stuff like that.)
It's madness in there, gating fire is deafening. Heavy had been my favorite since the original TF btw...
It's a good change to rack up some points with classes that fare well against Heavy, like Pyro, Sniper, and Soldier. Or get some more medic achievements since you have a great wall of a dozen Heavies or so.
