Valve beglückt uns in diesen Tagen gleich mit zwei Updates, in denen umfangreiche Bugfixes, neue CVARS und drei Hüte in zwei Ausführungen enthalten sind. Für die Mehrheit aller Spieler wird es jedoch nur die Standardvariante der Hüte geben, die drei Gewinner der speziellen Items der WAR-Propaganda bekommen zusätzlich die Zahl ihres Platzes auf ihre neue Kopfbedeckung.

Sniper werden es ein wenig schwerer haben -durch geschlossene Tore können sie nun keine Feinde mehr treffen. Noch nicht haftende Stickies können seit dem Update nun auch nicht mehr durch die Scottish Resistance oder Projektilen zerstört werden. Auf der Map cp_Gorge gab es einige Änderungen, um es Angreifern zu erleichtern, das Mapziel zu erreichen.
