The new fortress
May 13th 2008 01:43
While I sit here, waiting for new PC to magically purchase and create itself in front of me, I find myself once again drawn into Valves multi-player mayhem game Team Fortress 2.
With the release of the recent patch, they've shown the future where we unlock extra weapon load-outs for all classes - for getting achievements. So far though, only the medic has received a set of upgrades, it makes me wonder though why they just didn't release all the classes at once! Sure, sure, balancing and coding and such. Unfortunately, I found myself being constantly surrounded by medics, while I'd normally be very happy at this stage, I instead was suffering a dark medic related fate, with 90% of people on some servers just being medics for the achievements. Thankfully this has all past.
Regardless of that hiccup, it's a good idea and something to keep ones eye on for the future.
Easily the shining precipice on the mantle piece of this update was the new "Gold Rush" map. I've found myself constantly on the lookout for servers playing this new map, oddly, it seems this was the map I was always on the lookout for. Reminiscent of the days spent playing TimeSplitters for hours on the Assault maps, Gold Rush is an Attack/Defend map where i can constantly find myself on the edge of my seat as i stop the cart from it's forward momentum. It's also a map where i can look good, as the points received for captures is epic indeed.
With all that said and done, get out there and play some Team Fortress 2, my recommendation of the day.
