Team Fortress 2, the PVP game by the Steam creator, Valve, received a minor update yesterday. The October 12 patch is mostly focused on bug fixes and improvements, however, it does add a handful of additions to workshop maps.
The patch brought support for particles, soundscapes, custom sounds, and more to workshop maps. Several heavies spam firing their weapons won’t cause a server crash anymore. The Create Server menu will now show workshop maps as well. On official Valve servers, spectators can now be kicked in Mann vs. Machine mode.
