Nervous Energy

The latest update for TF2 has been released. This time we get two new maps (cp_fastlane and ctf_turbine), and pyro unlockable weapons (The Axtinguisher, The Backburner, and The Flare Gun). The pyro is the second class to get their unlockable weapons. Additionally there are quite a few important changes to the game engine, including:

Pyro
• Added alt-fire compression blast to the basic flamethrower
• Added The Axtinguisher, The Backburner, and The Flare Gun
• Hadouken taunt now kills people it hits
• Tuned the flamethrower hit detection to improve detection versus retreating opponents
• Removed Flamethrower's damage falloff (was falling off to 25% by the end)

cp_well
• Added a route from the forward central foyer up to the battlements
• Redistributed health and ammunition throughout the bases

ctf_well
• Added a route from the forward central foyer up to the battlements
• Removed central building, reduced overall map length
• Redistributed health and ammunition throughout the bases

Other Notes
• Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets. Does not affect rocket jumps
• In-game avatar images will now have a badge around them if the player is your friend
• Fixed bug that allowed players to move around in a reference pose
• Added custom death icons for unlockable weapons
• The player join team message now specifies whether the player used the auto team option
• Payload maps now support four control points per stage
• Achievement dialog will stay open when you're moving in & out of the game and the main menu
• Added full Russian localization, with both fonts & speech
• Returned the "Report a Bug" option to the main menu

Valve have also released a new Blog website where the developers are able to better communicate with the community. You can find it at:
