The Sandvich was revealed today to be the last heavy unlock. It replaces the shotgun, gives the heavy 120 health when he consumes it, but it takes 4 seconds to consume it and he is defenseless. This might make heavies just a little more reliable when they aren’t being leashed by a medic.
Well apparently we get some new maps called Arena. Sounds like deathmatch style. Im loving the new map visuals, reminds me of Montana. “Great care was taken to ensure the art style kept to the unique look and time period of the TF2 universe, while still feeling like a departure from the usual maps players are familiar with.”
Valve released the details of the heavy achievements at the K.G.B.+Achievements page today. Still not the big Monday update we are looking for, but from looking through the acheievements we can see that the heavy will either get a new taunt or one of his exhisting taunts will be able to kill people, and possibly involve a sandwich.
Today valve released the second heavy unlock, named Natasha. She does 25% less damage, but she slows you down while your taking fire. Sounds exciting, I’m glad to see that Valve is adding little tweaks to the weapons instead of dramatically changing the game.
Valve released information on the new payload map, Badwater Basin, today. Being that I love goldrush, I think this will be an awesome map to add to the cycle. Although, an underwhelming shove of community maps and one lame unlock is thus far putting a kink in my excitement for the Heavy update. Good time to be a spy or a medic though!
