The tin-hats are currently blatting the cyclops by nearly 20,000.

Oh, and there’s Crafting too, so no more worrying about the awful random weapon … Read More…

Hot on the heels of the Scout & Heavy updates, themselves not inconsiderable, comes the latest TF2 update, this time catering for everyones long-range homicidal maniac.
