'Very Different' Team Fortress 2 Mode Coming 'Soon'

[crazydog]

Team Fortress 2 developer Robin Walker has teased a new, "very different" mode will soon be added to the stylistic multiplayer shooter.

"A new Payload map is in the works, more community maps are on the way and the team will soon unveil a very different new game mode," writes The Escapist in a story on Walker and the team at Valve.
Walker also revealed that while the team is primarily focusing on bolstering the game's existing classes, it does have a running list of candidates for an entirely new class.

"We've got several new class designs floating around, some of which we like a lot, but right now we're focusing on the broadening of our existing classes through the addition of the unlockables," said Walker.

Hopefully this won't be such a flop like arena mode.

I don't know. Arena is fairly popular now. Just took a while for people to catch on. I'm of of course VERY exited about this!

There is still some work going into the next update for Team Fortress 2.  We were hoping to have this out this week, but with the extra testing we need to do, the update has been pushed back to early next week.  This update will include the timeout fix during map change.
