From ign:

Tomorrow at 11 am PST all PC versions of Team Fortress 2 will receive its largest update since the product was first made available on October 10, 2007, as part of Valve's best-selling Orange Box compilation.

The release is headlined by the introduction of "Badlands," a new map that pushes control-point gameplay onto vertical landscapes.

Full details on the release here:

Can't wait . I'll be waiting by my PC tomorrow morning.

Edit: oh sorry DoctaStrangelove, we posted the changelog at the same time.

Great news

I hope the phase in the individual-kit achievements very soon, because that will add 100's of hours of gameplay to the game!

Great, Seagate hasn't even received my RMA'ed HD yet. Just my luck.

So did they scrap unlocks and that Goldrush map? Hopefully the unlocks were ditched but not the map.

They're most likely still working on both.

"Added a new access point to the stage2 attacker gates (drop-down left from spawn), allowing attackers a way to reach the left route without being subjected to the spam and sentry gun fire"

Sounds good to me. I'm sick of the sentry spam in stage2.

Your personal stats will change in real time. They only used to appear after you'd die.

Like when it says "you beat your personal best of captures as a scout". or w/e

It comes up when it happens and not when you die

I think anyway

Really? I think the first control point is very difficult to defend with a decent attacking team that knows how to use ubers and has at least a decent demoman. Last night, there was chatter about just giving up the first point and making a good defense at the second point.

It means that if you crash you still get your stats. Like the time I got 34 kills with a sentry and then I crashed. At least I have a screen shot @ 31 kills =/

On 32 player server playing Dustbowl, it's a bitch. Like 7/16 people go Engineers, all build sentries either in the little house near the cap or on top of the little house near the gates, and with 3 or more sentries on the little house, it's impossible to get past, even with uber.

The other 9 people all either become Demomen or Soldiers. It's horrid.

24 player servers are much different, though.

"Added a small delay (200 ms) before a zoomed sniper shot can get a critical hit"

Nerfed? did somebody say nerfed? Half of my sniper kills are from quick shots like that, so I'd thank you very much for not noobifying my best weapon, Valve.
