Team Fortress 2's Jungle Inferno: More of the Same and That's Fine pt.1

Team Fortress 2 is a game that just about everybody knows about. It's been a while for about maybe two years, there's been a lack of any meaningful update. The last known update to my memory was a match between two classes. The Heavy Weapons Guy vs. the Pyro where whoever got the most kills within the event, the winner would get a huge update where they would get unique weapons made for them. It's been a while since any of my colleagues have heard from it. Well we have no idea what the development team has been doing at the time.

Last Thursday on October 27th has answered that question with an update, or at least the 4 days leading to it. There was a video featuring our favorite Red team going on an adventure with Australia's greatest Hero, Saxton Hale hunting down a Yeti in Yeti Park. The video was a nice surprise and suddenly, I wanted to play T F 2 again.

I will not bore you with the specifics of the Jungle Inferno Update, but I will tell you what the update does for its community. We get 5 community-made maps, new Pyro weapons, 1 Heavy weapon, and of course the official Yeti  Mercenary Park. There's also some new contracts players can do in their spare time in order to get the other new update items, like weapon skins and stuff like that. Now we also get a matchmaking queue now, to make finding random matches a bit easier with your friends. You can also look for community servers just as well, but it doesn't use tf2's matchmaking so that's a little disappointing.

Now that I've played the game after the longest time, here's what I think. TF2 is basically the same game it was two years ago, and that's fine. The update also gets the community together. When I get into a match, I see several things. I see people playing as the pyro, unbalancing the teams, I see people with colorful hats, I see people using their funny taunts in the spawn room. The game is fine, it's fun and it's great.
