Shocking, right? We haven’t see any actually new weapons since Christmas of 2012! And here they are! In addition to some silly taunts and goofy hats, the Love & War update actually gave us some new weapons. Well….uh….īut it’s not all fun and games out there in the stone quarries of the American southwest. To a stranger, this might look like madmen dancing around aimlessly. It’s a hell of a sight to see a BLU team capturing a Control Point while in Conga mode. Just imagine the terror inflicted on your enemies when your whole team emerges from spawn dancing cheerfully. Anyone who taunts next to a taunting conga dancer will automatically join in and form a dancing line. The best taunt by far is of course the Conga. You might get a Rochambeau taunt, letting you and someone else shoot some rock/paper/scissors just like in Portal 2. You might uncrate a head-bump, the Engineer’s relaxation chair, the Medic’s diagnosis, a square dance, or the Soldier’s stoic pose from that one poster. Inside this tin lies one of fifteen new taunts. How about items that actually DO something? You’re in luck because there are more of those, too! Also on the drop list is a Mann Co. Okay, so maybe you’re sick of all these pointless cosmetics that Valve keeps putting out. Boy, these allusions get more and more obscure, huh? There’s also a sweet Heavy ‘stache ripped right from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. They contain one of the forty-three new cosmetic items, including a Demoman sombrero, an all-class eye patch, a mohawk for the Heavy and Engineer, a pilot’s suit for the Spy, a fry cooker for the Pyro, or, best of all, an all-class French beret, round sunglasses, and tiny mustache. See some of the wacky stuff that the mercs are wearing? You can wear that in game now! Valve has this tendency of sneaking background items from their videos into the actual Team Fortress 2 game. It’s an amusing distraction from the Engineer and Medic finding the truth behind the teleporting bread. Much of the video focuses on the Spy training the Scout in the ways of love. It’s also the non-comic debut of Miss Pauling, the Administrator’s assistant and the target of the Scout’s affection. It’s the first time we hear the Administrator mentioned out loud (outside of the comics). It’s kinda funny seeing the mercenaries relaxing after a long day of senseless violence and watching how they interact off the battlefield. This is the first real, non-short video that gives us a look into the world of Team Fortress. One component of this update was a fifteen-minute video called “Expiration Date”. It doesn’t make much sense in context, either.Īs of June 18th of 2014, a major update was sent out for one of gaming’s most popular online class-based FPS titles: Team Fortress 2. More like digital bread for killing people. On top of all that, Valve gives its loyal gamers bread. They make their own operating systems and game consoles simply because the funds are there. They take their employees and their families on week-long vacations every year. They hire Russian economists just because they can. They don’t have bosses, supervisors, or any sort of intra-office managerial pyramid.
