Team Fortress 2, the online multiplayer game developed by Valve, has been updated again and the devs have brought even more changes and features.

Team Fortress 2 is one of the most played games on Steam and the developers make constant improvements to it. Most of the time, they are just balancing changes or fixes for bugs that are being exploited by players, but from time to time developers push map changes and other important modifications.

This is a free-to-play game and anyone can download and play it right now. What’s interesting about it is the fact that Valve doesn't charge any money for better weapons or items. This would upset the balance of the game and new players would have a hard time catching up in such a competitive environment.

The company makes money selling items that are made only for decorating the characters, like hats, pants, and so on. This has been a very profitable game for Valve because thousands of items are traded every day and the company makes a percentage from every sale.

According to the changelog, a new startup music track from Expiration Date has been added, projectiles are no longer causing the teleporter exits to detonate, the Huntsman is now firing after being charged in the air and landing on the ground while using cl_autoreload, teammates can no longer block the removal of sappers when using the Homewrecker, Maul, and Neon Annihilator, and a bug with the Gloves of Running Urgently that increased the marked for death time to 5 seconds instead of 3 has been corrected.

Also, a bug related to orphaned marked for death particles has been fixed, the target ID is now hidden while taunting, the Bolt Boy can now have two styles like the Bonk Boy, the materials for the Boo Balloon have been updated, the pl_cactuscanyon has been updated, the HUD layout for the rd_asteroid map has been changed, a bug that would prevent players from picking up the reactor core has been corrected, unbalanced ammo kits in Blu base near the vault have been removed, and a small ammo pack has been added to the top of the stairs at the cave exit.

Team Fortress 2 features a large number of multiplayer modes, such as Capture the Flag, Control Point, Payload, Arena, King of the Hill, and more. Moreover, players can choose one of the nine classes available: Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy.
