Team Fortress 2 Updates

Team Fortress 2 needs no introduction, but if you missed it so far, it's enough to say "team work," "cartoon style" and "shooter." I know this is not enough, because I wouldn't become suddenly interested in a game after hearing a few keywords, so I think you should better go and read the Team Fortress 2 review we have here, on PlayerzBlog. These being said, let's move on and see what should one expect from the Pyro Update for the PC Team Fortress 2, all right?

According to Valve, the long-awaited Pyro Update features no less than 35 new achievements, as well as 3 new unlockable weapons. All these will become available on Thursday, but there's even more, because 2 user-created maps, yet unknown, are also going to arrive as an additional bonus, to "highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players."

For those already having the game, here's the list of achievements to be added:

Hot on Your Heels: Kill 50 enemies with your flamethrower, from behind.
Next of Kindling: Ignite an enemy, and the Medic healing him.
Second Degree Burn: Kill a burning enemy who was ignited by another Pyro.
Weenie Roast: Have 2 enemy Scouts on fire at the same time.
Baptism by Fire: Force 10 burning enemies to jump into water.
Fire and Forget: Kill 15 players while you're dead.
I Fry: Ignite 10 disguised Spies.
OMGWTFBBQ: Kill an enemy with a taunt.
Got A Light? : Ignite an enemy Spy while he's flicking a cigarette.
BarbeQueQ: Cause a dominated player to leave the server.
Dance Dance Immolation: Kill 3 enemies while they're taunting.
Hotshot: Kill a Soldier with a reflected critical rocket.
Firefighter: Kill 500 enemies.
Fire Chief: Kill 1000 enemies
Attention Getter: Ignite 100 enemies with the flare gun.
Pyromancer: Do 1 million points of total fire damage.
Hot Potato: Reflect 100 projectiles with your compressed air blast.

Since this is a free update to a game that - obviously - requires you to pay for it, Valve will host another Free Weekend starting on Friday at 11AM PDT, allowing newbies to try the game via Steam.
