Mystery TF2 update
Frozen Hell - Wednesday, December 9, 2009
The patch notes listed fairly boring, standard bug fix type stuff, so of course most people (including myself) didn’t think much of it. But it turns out that it was more than was revealed in the patch notes, with a number of other stealth changes being included in the game that Valve are only hinting at. The update includes a number of sounds (I did notice this when updating our servers) that weren’t previously in the game, all of the sounds are related to the Announcer and hint at friendships, mercenaries and betrayals.
Robin Walker from Valve had the following things to say about it:
“So far, we haven’t seen anyone on the various forums out there who’s figured it out… there’s something about the way they’re used in-game that’s meaningful.”
“We’ve got something coming, but it’s not a new game mode…. The key to understanding the new sound files is to figure out who’s hearing them in-game, and who isn’t.”
So have you been hearing unexpected sounds from the Announcer? Anyone figured out what it might be or how to trigger the sounds?
