TF2 Newbs (Team Fortress 2) Blog

This patch has just some bugfixes. And some UFOs. LOLWUT?!

ICYMI: I updated the price guide yesterday.

If you’ve been on 2Fort lately, or many other official TF2 maps, you may happen to witness your very own UFO sighting! On 2Fort, look thru the border fencing near the red farmhouse:

It’s probably just a teaser for the upcoming Halloween Update. At any rate, stay sitting down, because no one wants to be experimented on by an alien, unless that’s your fetish.  If it is, don’t tell me.  By the way….

Are you familiar with KOTH Probed?

Probed, of which the latest version is koth_probed_b8 , is a King of the Hill community map that won the 2014 TF2Maps.net Mapping Contest for the theme, “Mercs vs. Aliens”. You fight the other team to capture a point, but you must also dodge a UFO that tries to snatch you with a tractor beam.  If it succeeds, you’ll be taken somewhere harmful to your health! But maybe you can escape….

You know how UFOs like to abduct cows? Yeah, they like to do that too:

I have no idea whether Probed will have anything to do with the upcoming (probable) Halloween update for 2015. However, the UFO witnessed in many official TF2 Maps is the same one as the one in Probed. So you may want to get familiar with this map. I did a quick server search in TF2, and couldn’t find a single server running koth_probed_b8, but if you’re curious, download the map from the Steam Community here and take a look around by using the Create Server option (bots won’t work without an AI mesh, however).

…You want to believe, don’cha?
