The Pyro Update for Team Fortress 2, which we have been talking about all week, has been released today. As always, simply restart your steam client and the changes will take effect.
In anticipation of the new Pyro Update this week for Team Fortress 2, Valve has placed the update website online for everyone to checkout. The newly launched website features information on the two new maps to be released, the unlockable weapons for the pyro, and the long list of achievements that will now be available for pyro players. All of these features will be released later this week in the update. The two new maps that will be featured are CP_Fastlane and CP_Turbine. Both maps may be familiar to you, as they were developed by third party players and have been circling the internet for quite sometime. None the less, their addition to the official map list will surely increase their popularity.   On top of the new maps, players who choose the pyro class will also be able to unlock several new weapons in the game. They include a new flaregun, backburner flame thrower, and axtinguisher attack axe. There will also be a slew of new achievements, all of which can be seen on the new Pyro Update Website. 
As promised, the Valve Team has released their newest installment in the "Meet The Team" short film series. Meet The Sniper is now available for download on the Steam Powered Website, and is definitely worth the watch. 
Valve has announced a set of new upcoming releases for Team Fortress 2 this week. The first release will come later today, when the team releases the latest installment in their "Meet the Team" short films, Meet The Sniper. The video will be posted on the Steam Powered Website, and we will be sure to post a link once its available. Then, later this week on Thursday, the team will be releasing a major Team Fortress 2 update that will include two user-created maps, which will "highlight the great work being done in the community". The main focal point of the update, however, will most certainly be the Pyro Update, which will be made available and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. Finally, to top it all off, Valve has announced that this weekend will also be a Team Fortress 2 free weekend. So if you have a friend you are trying to convince to go pick-up the title, or if for some reason you still haven't gotten around to getting it yourself, you can take the full game for a spin - new pyro achievements and maps included. Enjoy everyone!
