Happy Halloween Update for Team Fortress 2


Published By: Conrad Reyners   On: Friday 30 Oct 2009 4:10 PM

Valve has today released a Halloween themed update for their popular online shooter Team Fortress Two

The update features a range of themed upgrades, as well as a few bug fixes. Players will have access to a range of new unlockable hats attainable after compeleting themed acheivements - such as 'Candy Coroner' and 'Attack O’ Lantern'. Sources report rumors of exploding pumpkins and candy showers!



Valve has also included a new KOTH map named 'Harvest'. The map's scary twist is the inclusion of a ghost who runs throughout the map, and your player is frozen if you touch it. An addition certain to cause much fright (and rage) amongst hardcore players!

The themed update is only available between the 30th of October and the 2nd of November, so get in quick.

Here are the update fixes as released by Valve

Team Fortress 2

* Added a new community map: Koth_Harvest
* Added a Halloween edition called Koth_Harvest_Event

Contains a variety of Halloween related features: New hats, achievements, exploding pumpkins, ghosts, and more!

* Updated the CTF, Arena, and KOTH versions of Sawmill
o Fixed Engineer exploit

Added check to prevent clients from sending empty or all whitespace names to the server
Fixed "item_found" announcements coloring the player names if the player has :: in their name
