Sandvich and Arenas
August 21st, 2008 |
The two last features of the Team Fortress 2 Heavy update is out, and the keywords are Sandvich and Arenas.
The Sandvich is the first unlockable weapon upgrade for the Heavy update. Well, it is not actually a weapon but a healing item. For eating the sandvich (will i get used to writing it this way?) you will be healed 120 health points. The bad thing is that eating the sandvich will take four seconds, making you an easy target for that amount of time, but a great substitusion when there’s no healers around. The other bad thing is that you will have to leave your shotgun at home, making you more vulnerable to snipers and other bastards that deserve some lead in their stomach. You have unlimited supply of sandviches.
The second feature, and very interesting I must add, is the Arena game type. This is completely new, and takes place on small maps. The teams start, and the team surviving the longest wins. You can also win by capturing a capture point in the middle. This means it will be very close to the gameplay you see in games like Counter-strike. This first time you will see five types of Arena-maps, two complete new called Lumberyard and Ravine, and three remakes of the maps Well, Granary and Badlands.
As you see, a lot to look forward to in the new Heavy update.
