Valve Software a profité de la nuit d'hier pour sortir une nouvelle rustine pour Team Fortress 2, ainsi que certains de ses autres jeux à base de Source Engine (Counter-Strike : Source, Day of Defeat : Source, Half-Life 2 : DM). Cette mise à jour est assez conséquente, et les changements les plus notables concernent l'optimisation de certains objets, qui avait jusque là été laissée de côté, et l'ajout d'une nouvelle carte baptisée CP 5Gorge. Il s'agit d'une carte ajoutée depuis quelques semaines à la bêta du jeu : Si le nom vous rappelle quelque chose, c'est normal, il s'agit de cp_gorge avec 5 points ou chaque équipe doit attaquer et défendre. Tout comme Badlands, il s'agit d'un niveau miroir.

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.
