So much blood!

For all you heavy lovers in TF2 it must feel like Christmas come early. The heavy pack, released last night, not only gives out three new weapons and 35 new achievements, but also a new community map, a new payload map and a new mode, arena! Valve's free content provides a refreshing update to a great game.

Having only had time to play Badwater Basin (the new Payload map) thoroughly I will say that this is a great new payload map. However, I found that the first three points were captured very easily, whilst the final terminus was a nightmare to get due to a chokepoint fairly close to the end. Of course this may be due to the fact that there were a lot more heavies than normal, but we shall see once the madness has died down.

The new achievements seem fairly straight forward in normal game play, they just require a bit of time and patience to do them. After spending 90 minutes last night, I managed to get 9 achievements and a significant amount on a lot of others. There are several that are easier to get at this point during normal gameplay (Pushkin the Kart, Stalin the Kart and Soviet Union), so if you're going to aim for any in the next few days, go for these ones :) Most of the others simply require a certain scenario (or map), however I can see the following three requiring some grinding and some luck:

Kollectivization: Get 1000 assists
Division of Labor: Kill 20 enemies with a Medic assisting you, where neither of you die
Krazy Ivan: Kill 100 enemies while both you and your victim are underwater

If you're looking for a place for normal game play, a place to enjoy yourself and a place to get your heavy achievements, you can't go much wrong than our public server at tf2.cantfitmyn.net:27015. Come on and say hi :)
