VALVe a finalement décidé de segmenter son gros update pour la version PC de TF2 et de le sortir petit à petit. La première partie est arrivé hier à 20h. Petit extrait du change log :
* Ajout de la carte Badlands qui se joue autour de control points disposés sur une carte très verticale.
* CTF_Well, dont la salle centrale se voit de nouveau parcourue de trains, se trouve à présent dans le mapcycle.txt par défaut. Attendez-vous à la voir de plus en plus sur les serveurs publics.
* Dustbowl : des tonnes d'exploits ont été corrigés.
* Granary : idem. De plus, le spawn timing advandage pour l'équipe occupant le point central a disparu.
L'update contient aussi de nombreuses optimisations pour le netcode, le rendu graphique, le Source TV, les stats des joueurs, le tout pour tous les jeux Source de VALVe. Par contre, nulle trace de la carte Goldrush, des achievements du medic et de ses nouvelles armes. (source : nofrag)
