Latest TF2 PC Update Adds Tournament Play

February 29, 2008 9:26 AM

While Team Fortress 2 players wait with bated breath for the new Goldrush map and class-specific achievements, yesterday's update for Valve's colorful multiplayer shooter provided PC gamers with a nifty consolation prize: Tournament Mode.

Other changes include class-balancing ammunition tweaks, stability fixes, a custom tab in the server browser, and protection against voice command spam. For all the details, scope out the full patch notes.

As is typical with games on Valve's Steam platform, Team Fortress 2 will be automatically updated to the latest version when users log in.

  UI for handling team naming, ready mode, and win results
  
  Disables team player limits, autobalancing, and intermission

    Yeah I changed blue team's name to ILTC on ShackWest last night. The first person to join the team is the only one that can name it, but everyone else has the ready/not ready option.
