    Finally, today, Valve has shared some information regarding new map to the game, and it is confirmed that there is a new gamemode as well as a brand new three-part payload map! The interesting thing about this is, the new content is still in beta, so they are released to be tested by players to improve on them.

    The new payload map is Cactus Canyon. Honestly, it does feel unique, being a desert theme with an upward sort of feel. You are pushing the cart up and down various slopes, yet it is still a more enclosed payload map.

    The new gamemode is something a little hard to comprehend at first. I will not spoil it really, but just know it is basically a 2fort, but better. Something that is definitley fresh, and has extremely heavy action throuhout.

    If you haven't tried out the new maps, I highly suggest you do. Valve has not released official multiplayer maps since sd_doomsday, so this is a very exciting day for Team Fortress 2 right now.

    Yes!
    Thought it would be something related to EOTL. I really can't wait for that update.

    But seriously, I need to get on and try everything out.

    The new game mode is pretty fun, but the only map for it needs some work. Engineers are really OP because there are a lot of great spots to put sentry nests in. Since you know the map, near robot A I saw 4 engineers make a nest. No one could get through. Finally a medic and a soldier punched a whole with uber, but the engis made a new nest when they respawned at robot C.
    It will be a great game mode in the future, but it needs work. For being in only beta, I find it amazing. One big problem for me is just the length of the match, it is way too long. Sometimes a round can last 2 hours.

    for the update in general, I love it. This was a great idea from valve. Props to them for it.

    Matches tended to last 15 minutes at most, because there were only 2 Engineers a team, and they just built on B for some reason.

    I don't even know how points work in this new gamemode.
    All I know is that I'm love with the Baby Face's Blaster/Bonk!/Ham combo for this map.
    Theres just something about it that I love playing Scout in.
