Round two of Sniper class update related news has hit the official Team Fortress 2 site. What's new? Well, the new "Payload Race" game mode, for one, and two snazzy looking new maps.
Payload Race looks to transform the already-released Payload mode—which shipped alongside the Medic class update last April and requires the escorting of an on-rails vehicle to safety—into a dual cart pushing frenzy. Valve calls the red versus blue challenge of dual escorting "gladiatorial cart combat." Expect the first Payload Race map, Pipeline, to hit sometime next week along with the Sniper's new Huntsman weapon, should Valve stay on schedule.
Today's update also gives us a peek at two new Arena maps, Sawmill and Nucleus. Both look good enough to shoot thousands of people on.
