June 16, 2008 - Valve, creators of award-winning games and leading technologies, 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, a leading online platform for the delivery and management of PC games. The Free Weekend is scheduled to begin this Friday at 11 am PDT.

I'm so excited. i'm probably not the only one that thought the update was still miles away.

Here's another link with the dates and times. In case anyone needed reassuring.

Wow, I really did think that the update wasn't going to come for a while. Good job Valve!

I've only just really got into playing the Pyro quite well (or what I think is quite well), setting kill records and destructions and stuff. Great class, can't wait for new weapons. Apart from the Axestinguisher, anybody know what they are?

I have 26 I think. All the hard/stupid ones still to do. Probably not going to play Pyro much after the update until the Pyro spamming dies down a bit.
