At long, long, long last we are days away from the release of the final Meet the Team machinima. As is tradition, it is accompanied by a game update to Team Fortress 2 which will be described incrementally, day by day, over the next 50 hours. The first briefcase full of intelligence reveals to us a new game type, a new level in that type and the names of eleven new achievements. Plus, there is a page of period faux-vertising!…

Valve have began teasing their latest update. Strangely enough, it’s so far Classless. Whether it will remain that way remains to be seen – remember the previous update was only revealed to be both a Spy AND a Sniper update halfway through the reveal process – but for now day one’s tease of the new content for Team Fortress 2 is the inclusion of not one, not two but eighteen new hats, along with a new Arena map called Offblast….
