As if we could keep this from you. We tried to but then quickly realized we're not very good at keeping secrets. Case in point, this whole sing along episode. On with the community updates:

  • United Kingdom Community Servers is running a Knockout Cup in the Highlander format. Rules can be found here. Spectators should head over to TF2 TV to check out the action. Live. That's right. Live. As in when it happens. Like a news cast. Except better. There's rockets.
  • ESL is doing a 128 slot 1 on 1 Scout Cup. Two weeks left for signups! As if that wasn't enough, there's prizes for the top three! Be sure to grab the custom map for the contest as well.
  • SlienceMaster's username suddenly becomes forgivable once you realize he's made this fancy hat. It certainly looks like the Voodoo Juju. Probably will need to confiscate it to be sure. Perhaps we could setup a donation drive for him to buy a spellchecker.

Gaming Heads' second Team Fortress 2 figurine will be the Soldier, as you may have gathered. Like the Heavy, the Soldier will deploy in both BLU and RED varieties -- a limited run of 300 with an inter-switchable Direct Hit accessory and a run of 750 without will ship in Q3 2011.

Oh, and of course neither will come cheap. The more limited version with the extra rocket launcher is an exorbitant $234.99, while the basic model is a slightly less exorbitant $219.99. Gaming Heads is currently taking pre-orders, if you're so inclined.

Any time we have a tie-in promotion with another game, we'll send the TF mercs a package with all the new items in it (except Heavy, who lives in some remote log mansion in the Dzhugdzhur Mountains. We just mail it to the nearest Siberian town, and they dogsled it up to him eventually). This gives them a chance to get acquainted with the new weaponry, so they're not surprised when they show up back to work.

But when we sent out our latest promotion--Rift, the upcoming MMO from Trion Worlds--we were puzzled when Scout sent it back, unopened. We gave him a call.

"Hey, man," we said. "We were wondering why you hadn't opened--"

Monday Night Combat is embracing its PC launch with Team Fortress 2 crossover apparel and an homage to Penny Arcade. Uber has announced that purchases made by February 1 will grant access to crossover costumes from (and in) Team Fortress 2 and Monday Night Combat.

The PC version of MNC will also feature "Juicebot," a familiar robot who will share time with the game's regular big-headed Mascot and provide extra Juice upgrades and money to players. Of course, "Juicebot" is based on Penny Arcade's Fruit F*cker, a character which featured prominently in the defunct Penny Arcade Adventures games. The PC debut trailer featuring the costumes and robotic produce-molester can be found after the break.

If you buy a copy of Monday Night Combat on Steam up until 10AM PST, February 1st, 2011, you'll get two batches of exclusive items. In MNC, you'll receive class-specific mods to make your classes look a bit more TF2-y. And over at Team Fortress, you'll get an MNC-branded hat that any class can wear, as well as a custom hat and outfit for the Scout.

  • Wireplay is about to launch Season 8 with some new unlocks allowed. Check out their site for the full list.
  • TF2Maps.net has released a completely new theme pack this week dubbed the construction theme. Additionally there's a new arena map, "Hard Hat" that goes along with it showcasing the new assets. They also have an Asymmetry vs Symmetry control point mapping contest going on for good measure. Hopefully they don't take up blogging anytime, because that'd be really embarrassing for us.

One of the requests we've gotten from community item contributors has been for an easier way to test their creations. We're pleased to announce that last friday's update included a beta version of our new item testing system. Some folks over at the Official TF2 Wiki have already found it and started documenting the system, but we wanted to provide some more information on what's there, and where we're going with it.

How I do love the holiday season. A time of year that makes the sweet things in life seem so much the sweeter. A time when ignoring the mournful cries of a litter of famished puppies provides the deep satisfaction of labored accomplishment. A time when delivering a sharp kick to the exposed shin of a desperate beggar takes on a certain character of charity. A time when sending one's witless minions repeatedly to their deaths at the hands of their equally witless enemies provides an unrivaled and noble joy.

So it is that in a fit of holiday induced discomposure I requested that Mr. Hale increase his shipments of weapons and equipment for exactly one week. Do not, my dear reader, interpret this as a sign of approval. Do not mistake me for thinking you worthy of this gift. I am merely attempting to ensure that you are properly equipped for the duties that you are required to fulfill as detailed in the contract that each of you signed. There are control points that need capturing, intelligence that needs recovering, and hats to be secured.

We know what you're thinking: "I always get medieval when I play TF2, son!" You're right, of course, but this post is referring to the new Medieval mode, in which the Red and Blu teams must storm a castle armed with primitive, brutal weapons. Team Fortress 2 will also be receiving some Christmas goodies or, more specifically, Australian Christmas related goodies.

The history of Australian Christmas is too long and violent to explain here, but suffice it to say that "festive crates" have been introduced into the game alongside "special keys" needed to unlock them. Several hats have been added to the in-game store as well, which is sort of festive, we guess. Finally, a new donation system has been put in place for community map makers, allowing them to receive donations for their creations. Now that's definitely in the Christmas spirit.
