14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer Valve says that players of its multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2 will get a special Halloween event, which once again involves a showdown with Merasmus, called Scream Fortress.
Gamers will be able to take part in a special King of the Hill game against the undead wizard, which involves special mechanics for the control point and magic effects on the battlefield.
The Mann versus Machine side of the game also gets a new mode, called Wave 666, which includes 800 zombies and two new Achievements for players to collect.
The official description from Valve reads: “Put on your thinking caps and prepare to poop in your precious pumpkin pants, because that's exactly what just happened! Enter a haunted King of the Hill map to battle a bomb-spewing, fate-spinning spectral magician!”
The full details, all mixed with the slightly surreal prose that’s quickly becoming Valve’s trademark, can be found on the official page for the Halloween event.
