The TF2 team at Valve has kicked off Pyromania, a three day celebration that will feature the release of major new game features for Team Fortress 2. Headlining the week's activities will be the release of "Meet the Pyro" on Wednesday, the ninth and final installment in the "Meet the Team" series of TF2 video shorts. Stay tuned for more throughout the week.

Today we get a brand new game mode for Team Fortress 2 called 'Doomsday' along with 11 new Steam achievements.

Quote

Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.

Oh baby! Finally!

TBH, I can't bring myself to care about TF2 as a game anymore, but pyro short, after... erm...5 years, HOORAY!

I've recently been playing TF2 again with some of my friends, so this couldn't have been timed better.

Also Poopy Joe ftw!

That only left the issue of what to call the update. Luckily, at the very moment we were thinking about it, someone turned on the radio. Guess what song was on? That's right: 'Safety Dance'.

"That's a pretty catchy song," we said. "Who sings that?" Well, we don't want to upset you, so we won't type it here, but suffice it to say the band that wrote 'Safety Dance' has the most unthinkably offensive name we've ever heard.


Lol, look up the name of the band :laugh:

So what was the Adult Swim announcement? Is it just that they are airing Meet the Pyro?

I hate to be the one who has to clean up Poopy Joe's capsule.

Oh cool. Could rewatch all of the meet the team videos then. Don't think this will get me to install TF2 though. In my view the game was ruined when the plethora of guns and hats were introduced. I understand it is good business for them, but simplicity is power.

personally, the guns & hats dont alter the game, almost all characters have the same basic play style as always, (baring the 1 kill swords...)


What ruined it for me was the influx of noobs and hat servers, the game lost appeal when people no longer cared about forming any sense of strategy, nor where they inclined to help each other.

plus, my list of valued servers suddenly dissappeared and I was left with hundreds of generic valve tf servers and no more heroes bs

I still love the characters, though, no other game has made such generic classes into a bunch of misfits that should never be put together by a sane (wo)man

I believe the AS announcement was they collaborated with Valve to for Meet the Pyro. That's hearsay though, as I don't have an actual source.
