Valve's Team Fortress 2 blog let the cat out of the bag on the next major update. The Sniper will be the next class to get the unlock treatment, and the update itself will feature "multiple" new maps and gameplay tweaks.
They continue on to talk about the status of the Xbox 360 update for Team Fortress 2.
As an aside, if Counter-Strike: Source got a fraction of this kind of update love, we'd be some very happy campers. You know you want to, Valve!
It's been a couple of weeks since we posted, so we thought it'd be good to do some housekeeping. The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks. In addition, we've got another update in the works that should be done before the Sniper, and that one will include some new content for all classes.

The XBox 360 update is still being worked on. If you're wondering what's taking so long, since the content is "done" on the PC already, it's mostly been around fitting it all onto the XBox. The original version of TF2 in the Orange Box was very close to the XBox's memory limit, and all the additional TF2 content we've produced has pushed well beyond it. We've found a couple of nifty ways to get back a bunch of that memory, but it's turned out to be a lot of work, and that's what most of our time is being spent on. In the meantime, we're going to get a code update out to address the server cheating that's going on.
My, oh my. New class unlocks, new maps, new gameplay tweaks, and other content to come with the Sniper update? That's not even mentioning the mysterious update coming prior to this that will include something for all of the classes? Hopefully, we'll see this update roll out sooner rather than later.
