Valve have just said that they're too busy focusing on Left 4 Dead so. No TF2 class updates for the rest of the year
Oh well. Disappointing for sure but it's understandable. L4D is their one game out this year and they want it to go with a bang.Valve's class-based multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2 won't receive its next major update until next year, marketing VP Doug Lombardi has informed Shacknews.
Since the game's launch last year, Valve has provided numerous free updates to owners of the PC version, adding new modes and maps along with class-specific achievements and unlockables for the Medic, Pyro and Heavy classes. The studio has pledged that all of the title's nine classes will eventually be updated with new weaponry.
Lombardi attributed the prolonged wait to the impending release of Left 4 Dead (PC, 360), which saw contributions from numerous Team Fortress 2 team members as development of the cooperative zombie-killing shooter entered the final stages.
The marketing VP also reiterated Valve's plans to bring the existing Team Fortress 2 updates to the Xbox 360 version, though no timeline was offered as to its release.
