"Valve Employee here. I work on concept art for Team Fortress 2. I lost a bet with someone so here's some news, take it or leave it.

The Engineer Update is coming out this month. The first day will be the announcement, introduced with Meet The Medic. The last day will provide you with Meet The Pyro.

We're aiming for it to span for 4 days long. Tues-Friday release.

We know when we release these things everyone plays the certain class. However, don't worry about everyone settling down on their side of the map with a sentry. With the updates the "classes" are getting, this will not be an issue.

For the slower Heavy types, I'm saying each class will get one new weapon available to be found or unlocked through achievements (must have all);along with the Engineer update.

Expect 18 new hats
Expect 4 new community weapons

There's a lot more in this update, trust me. It may have seemed like I told you much.

But that's not even half of it."

I figure this at least deserves a discussion. How would you feel about this? What do you expect? What do you want most out of this update?

No idea of this is legit or not.

Actually the Engineer update is coming out May 21st.

I should also clarify that 9 of the new hats are community hats, and they will surprise you quite a bit.

Also expect 2 new maps from Valve as well as 3 community maps.

I know this because I work at Valve.

while it seems fake it also seems probable,

steam is coming to mac on wednesday, so why not a great way to promote tf2 then with "new DLC just added!" and maybe a free weekend chucked in when it is supposedly released on friday to get more customers to buy tf2 for mac/windows?

Plus meet the pyro would be very probable due to speculation of the engineer building him/her/it possibly revealing all the secrets behind it.

Yes you can call me stupid but im that eager for the update that I'm thinking its true :)

They did say quite a while ago that they were having the most fun making Meet the Pyro... but what about the Medic's voice actor, has he actually been called in yet?

I am Gabe Newell, so I decided to make it more fun for W+M1 by making Tf2 Episode 1, the 'Stuck' Keys.
