14 DAY TRIAL // After receiving a few details over the last week, Valve has officially released the latest update for Team Fortress 2, bringing many bug fixes, plenty of improvements in terms of maps and weapons, as well as two new levels made by one of the members in the community.
Team Fortress 2 is one of Valve's most profitable endeavors, as the studio has kept on releasing many big themed updates but also plenty of weekly patches designed to add new content, fix existing problems, and include new features, like support for the Oculus Rift VR headset.
Now, a new update has just been rolled out in order to solve many issues that have been plaguing the multiplayer shooter for some time.
You can check out the general changes below and head on over to Steam to view the huge official changelog.
