Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
Fixed the dedicated server not running on machines using Win2k

Team Fortress 2
Added the Monday Night Combat gear
Added Crit-a-Cola to the weapon drop list
Added missing chalkboard/serverbrowser materials for 5Gorge
Fixed some missing particles systems in the low violence version
Fixed a bug with the round ending when a control point is captured during Overtime in CP_Egypt
Fixed the game not running on machines using Fat32
Updated the localization files

Nothing too big ... but I didn't know Crit-a-Cola wasn't previously droppable. I guess that explains why it allegedly trades for hats (at least the Vintage version).

Well, he also gets wristbands and shoes... so it's a little more noticeable than just socks. Still, it doesn't encourage me to buy MNC any more than I would feel encouraged to buy it otherwise (which doesn't mean I'm not interested - it just means the marketing gimmick isn't really working on me). Looks like an interesting game, and I'd probably look more into it under other circumstances, but I'm trying to save some money now since I just bought a new laptop and am thus shortish on funds. The only game I have any intention of spending money on for a while will be Portal 2.

Where the hell is the Mapper's Medallion?

Actually, the medal is meant to be given to people who took part in artpass contest and it was modeled by Matt/Lord Ned, but none of the contestants have gotten it yet.

Uh?

I'm talking about the artpass contest participation medal.

Didn't someone point out that you can't expect Valve to award you with something you made yourself, etc?

In the thread for voting about which medal to send to Valve, several people pointed out that there's no reason to expect the artpass entrants to receive the medal since that was never discussed as a term of the contest. I know the MM is in the game files already, but I can't really blame Valve for slacking on awarding it since they never had any intention of sending that out in the first place. I dunno maybe this makes no sense.

God dammit Valve, why can't you quit adding stuff that breaks TF2's theme. That's the reason I like the game.

I was under the impression that after it was learned the polycount participants would get an item (which happened after our contest began), zpq asked valve about having similar for our contest and they agreed or something, but then zpq made an ugly pin which found its way into the chat room, which resulted in everyone else trying to make a better one, which resulted in said thread. I could be totally wrong though.
