After months of predictions that TF2 would have its massive update on October 6th…. we can finally report, that the wait is over, and it is legendary.
Everything we’ve ever hoped for and more. So much more, in ways that we were unexpected and delightful. So much so that we’re just going to have to release it in chunks. Hot messing chunks that will rot your inners and mess with your minds.
