Team Fortress 2 Update Takes the Action to Egypt

22 February 2009

As part of Valve’s build up to their scout-centric update scheduled for release on Tuesday, the company has been releasing daily tidbits detailing exactly what gamers can expect.

Last week we discussed the first of the announced updates, the “Sandyman” update, which will give the scout a new weapon; a baseball bat and ball, which will allow players to hit balls at their opponents, effectively stunning them.

The latest update will come in the form of a new map, “CP_Egypt”. CP_Egypt is a  community map, designed by Sean ‘Heyo’ Cultino, and has been described as a “visually-striking, Dustbowl-style control point map.”

Valve also published a full list of achievements that will be coming with Tuesday’s update.
