The New Team Fortress 2 Update Has Some Great Easter Eggs

Team Fortress 2’s loooooooong-awaited alien-themed “Invasion” update is finally out, and it’s all about aliens and, er, Dishonored. Yes, the Bethesda stealth game. Invasion has been in the works for over a year, with Valve and members of the community (the latter being largely responsible for the update’s maps and cosmetic items) dropping hints like pg123 they had butter-slathered lobster claws for hands. In the end, the update has proven fun, if not particularly game-changing. There are four community-made maps—2Fort Invasion, Probed, Byre, and Watergate—high tech weapon skins like the Batsaber and the Shooting Star, an Invasion mission campaign, and of course SPACE HATS. Some people dig it, while others are peeved that there’s not more to the campaign (and the update overall) to justify the money they have to spend on a campaign pass and space cases.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1735295883","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"culture","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"culture","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); If nothing else, though, preliminary scouting (and Heavy-ing and Pyro-ing and etc) reports have included some fun secrets, especially on the Watergate level. The map, as it turns out, was directly inspired by Bethesda’s Dishonored series, and it’s not shy with easter eggs. First off, there’s the structure of the level itself. Get ready to do some parkour: Players have also found whale bone charms and a mask similar to the one Corvo wears in Dishonored—both of which were promotional TF2 items a few years ago—hidden in the level’s more obscure corners. Cases in point: Kind of a weird game pg123

to model a level after in the middle of a full-scale alien invasion, but there’s a UFO in the sky, so it still counts. Meanwhile in the newly invaded 2Fort, one player noticed a poster with an embedded warning: h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ

And for those interested, YouTuber Im Myler put together a video of all the new unusual item effects: Players have also uncovered gags about how long Invasion took to come out and some minor balance/feel tweaks A fair portion of the discussion surrounding the update, however, has concerned what’s not in h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ it. From jokes about laser frying pans to legitimate questions about โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด why a large volume of community content (including long-awaited and thematically appropriate map Asteroid) didn’t make the cut, it feels like in-the-know TF2 fans understand what

they could’ve had and can’t shake the feeling that this update could’ve been a bit more special. Still, it’s a community update (rather than a primarily Valve-authored one), so it was never gonna be the biggest and best ever. Valve, meanwhile, is so hard at work on big new features (including competitive matchmaking, in all likelihood) that they canceled their in-game Halloween event this year, opting instead to turn it over to players. So something big is coming. And for now, something small is better than something that’s not anything at all. How’s the Invasion update treating you?

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
