Nikos the great’s creatures & stuff

First of all, let me clear this out: this post got nothing to do with Spore. I can’t say anything related to spore at all anymore, we all are waiting patiently about it, there’s not much to talk about anymore. Also, if you don’t know anything about team fortress 2, the best FPS until today, you’ll find this post boring as well.

 I’ll start with the heavy achievements: they were pretty normal, like the pyros. Valve understood how hard the medic achievements were so they made it so casual players can get them without trying really hard. And they had great names, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from valve!

The weapons-oh, they’re great, as always! The best of them being the sandvich, regenerating 120 health, which was a brilliant idea, and adds even more strategy to the heavy. Then comes Natascha-it’s a great weapon, just not now. It slows the enemies down but is a 25% weaker than sasha, the normal minigun. Many people play as heavies and soldiers, and it’s not very useful, since they’re already slow. It’s good against spies, scouts, medics, pyros. A good, balanced weapon. Then, the gloves, well, these are pretty useless to be honest, since heavies never use melee. They’re better than the normal fists, but the heavy isn’t made to use melee.

Then comes the new environment, oh, I love it! Instead of the desert theme, we finally get some greenary! I expect many maps to be made with it. It was probably the most ever-lasting addition of this update. Lumberyard, the map using it, is a great map, and doesn’t go off the tf2 style at all.

The new mode-the arena. It’s a very good mode, since it makes you value your life, because there’s no respawn until next round. A really great mode, I play it alot, maybe even more that capture the flag.

The new maps-steel and the…uhh, a payload map- were great and balanced. I haven’t tried them much, to be honest, but from what I’ve seen they’re both great maps. Maybe I’ll try them tomorrow.

So, that’s about it. Valve said this update was the biggest one after the release of the game. Valve has never let me down.

Thanks for reading, hope you found it interesting (probably not, if you don’t play tf2 at daily/weekly basis), next post may be after the release of spore, so let’s just wait patiently-with team fortress 5 hours a day
