Valve's promised major summer update for the 2007 game Team Fortress 2 is here, and it's adding 14 new maps, a new game mode, new taunts, effects, and a whole heap of bug fixes and quality-of-life update.

　　While most of what's new to the game is community-made content that's been given an official release, it's still a major update for a game that's over 15 years old. The new content will come into play as part of a summer event that will run through to September 15.
