Team Fortress 2 special Halloween update

Brian Ambrozy 29 Oct, 2009 at 2:45pm ET Article published in Gaming

In yet another new game mechanic, Valve is releasing a “haunted” King of the Hill map for the weekend and other goodies for the Terrifying Team Fortress 2 Hallowe’en Special.

From October 29th to November 2nd, there will be the KOTH Harvest map available, with special holiday achievements, exploding pumpkins, and the ghost of Zepheniah Mann…

There are five new achievements and five hats available for the weekend.

Get in and play TF2 while it lasts; chances are that after the holiday, the hats and achievements will be gone.

31 Oct 2009 ~ 2:43pm QuadyTheTurnip I got a Gibus right after the update went live, and I passed it on to Error: Null Turnip Exception and Ampersand, so hopefully that'll pass around to everyone.

The original picture for this was made before the game was released, maybe even before the Beta. You'll also notice the demoman is holding a stick of dynamite.
