The update may have taken a while, but right here, it’s Team Fortress 2 at its best. The level is split into three separate areas with intermediate capture zones inside of each major. A server-uniting dance party that both welcomes a new, permanently beaming face to TF2 and shows that some FPS games can be a laugh even when the shooting stops. Goldrush Payload Gold Rush is an entirely new level featuring a new gameplay style called Payload.
I am at least encouraged by the video Alice shared in the first place, a spontaneous celebration of the seal across team lines (and, presumably, real nations). If these screenshots suck, it’s because my time spent looking at the seal is normally cut short by some tryharding Demoman, too blinded by my fish bucket bounty to see that the real prize is shuffling along the sand. To them, the seal is not a friend, nor even an NPC: it’s a counting machine, into which you merely dump collectibles until a win state comes out. For literally every other player I’ve seen so far, the allure of competitive victory outweighs the desire to stop and cherish what good is left in the world. Sadly, not everyone appreciates the seal. The one quiet gun around it tends to be mine, as I stop to admire – maybe even envy – this gigantic bean living its best life. It might be my favourite thing added to TF2 since Badwater Basin. Despite this, it’s always wearing a happy face, bouncing along and occasionally slow-blinking like a contented cat. First team to 100 gulped fish wins, in addition to the seal, who wins regardless.Īs the focal point of each round, the seal is almost constantly surround by gunfire, explosions, flamethrowers, and heavily accented men pouring fish into it. Slain mercs drop tubs of fish, which can then be collected and fed to the seal (who flops, repeatedly and adorably, from an animal control van to the nearby sea) for points. The map is Selbyen, a special event map based on a sleepy Norwegian fishing village, and the seal is in fact central to how it plays out. Our Liam interviewed some of the TF2 voice cast at PAX West 2022. This morning, however, Alice0 pointed out something to which I really should have paid more mind: one of the new maps has a seal. When Team Fortress 2 finally got its long-awaited Summer Update last night, I wasted no time in ignoring its contents and joining the same 24/7 Dustbowl server I usually play on.
