Valve needs some new writers to replace all the funny ones who left, apparently.
This was almost certainly written by those ones.
This video was hinted at quite a while ago, so it was likely them.
this would have been really cool back in like 2011
also wow it's so jarring at how the original VOs aren't available anymore so it's just Scout and Saxton talking, everyone else is mute or uses a stock voice clip
SAXTON HALE!
The only thing more surprising than that is...
A NEW PAYLOAD RACE MAP?
What the hell, who even plays plr anymore.
I'd honestly be fine with them not doing a Halloween update this year. Last one was... eh.Wow, I was really starting to think they'd squeezed as much out of TF2 as they were going to bother to.
Also, weird timing - is this going to take the place of a Halloween event this year?
I can't really imagine them doing two events/updates in fairly rapid succession.

Hightower has consistently been one of the most popular and favorite pub maps since it's first release.
I personally don't like it but it's easy to see why they would create another one.
Payload and Payload Race have always low-key been the best gamemodes - that's why Overwatch pretty much lifted Payload wholesale.

The Dueling Banjo:
Celebrate one of the two things everyone remembers from the 1972 hillbilly horror classic Deliverance.
TIL TF2 still being supported.
I thought that was MARIO_KART or cyberpunkI don't -get- Hightower. People don't actually -play- it.
It's like they treat TF2-Hightower as some kind of interactive chat room with a minor competitive shooter element.
If you actually try to capture the point people (on your own team, even) will scream angrily at you.
So excited, sad to hear no new voice lines but yeah game's been out forever.
Engineer's voice actor is retired
Demoman and Heavy's voice actor is very, very old, possibly retired. He's also getting kind of weak at doing the voices.
Soldier's voice actor is old, possibly retired. Rumors he had some health issues.
Scout's actor is young and always available for voice lines
Spy and Pyro's actor is usually around for voice lines, don't know what's up with this update
Medic's voice actor is usually too busy to do much
Such is the problems of having a voice cast for a game that is updated for 10 years. They get old, or they get better gigs.
Love that the crater that Saxton Hale left behind is shaped like the continent of Australia.
Are soundalikes out of the question, specifically for the retired actors?

This was one aspect of TF2 I used to love. I used to go on idle and trade servers just to hang out and chat and meet people. I met a lot of good friends on Steam that way. It does suck when people try to do that kind of stuff on normal servers thoughI don't -get- Hightower. People don't actually -play- it.

Amazing, might jump back into the game again after years of not playing. Hopefully the upcoming days have something exciting beside hats.

Hightower is secretly (except it's not a secret at all) a tdm map. That's part of the reason highertower is appealing, it's hightower but you won't cap even if you try.
