They said the updates would roll out quicker now, and if they keep to this schedule, they weren't kidding at all:

VALVe wrote:June 16, 2008 - Valve, creators of award-winning games and leading technologies, today announced a set of new releases for Team Fortress 2, the title named Multiplayer Game of the Year by PC Gamer and Gamespy.com.

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam, a leading online platform for the delivery and management of PC games. The Free Weekend is scheduled to begin this Friday at 11 am PDT.

:OOOOOOO!

That's also awesome with the thing about the user created maps. I was just saying the other night that it'd be awesome for valve to do that.

Yup, I remember that! I hope Castle is one of them.

I like Castle, but I'm thinking that the maps won't be capture point ones.

Meet the snoipah is up

And if you watch closely (around 1:14), looks like they tossed in one of the Pyro's new weaps, seems to be some sort of lobbing device.

NOOO!

Heat rockets! Not heat grenades

I cant wait to see what it is.

Heat rockets would destroy the balance, imo.

Also, another update, the Pyro website that was supposed to appear alongside the new video is being delayed until tomorrow, according to Shacknews. It's supposed to be like the Goldrush one, revealing the weapons, achievements and any other changes.

(also, I really hope the "flare gun" is a replacement for the shotgun :3)
