    Heavy News that is Credit to Clan

    Valve is updating TF2 again August 18th, next Tuesday. This is a Heavy Update - literal and metaphorically speaking.

    Previously the Medic and the Pyro were updated with new achievements and weapons. This time it is the Heavy's turn. There is also a ton of other content included with this update:
    - 36 achievements for the Heavy
    - 3 new weapons for the Heavy
    - 6 new maps custom made by the community
    - 1 new map made by Valve
    - New game mode of play (similar to how they released the "Payload" game play mode when updating the Medic)
    - Special new "Meet the ...." video installment. (probably the Pyro, and special because Pyro is female)

    The Steam website is being updated each day with a reveal of more info on the content.


    I AM EXCITED BY THIS NEWS
