Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[Shawn Zipay]

A new update for Team Fortress 2 was rolled out tonight. Check out the list of changes below and prepare to scratch your head on at least one of the changes.

Game Changes
• Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features
• Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned
• Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements
• Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported
• Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch
• Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing

Fixes
• Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable
• Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients
• Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server

Can someone kindly explain to me why anybody would want to permanently remove their weapons that they have unlocked? Am I reading this correctly? Anybody?

The update should automatically apply itself after a restart of Steam, or upon the next launch of Team Fortress 2.

People will eventually get bored of the game so to spice things up they're given the oppertunity to delete their guns along with their achievements, then re-gain em all over again by doing the same stupid shit they did the first time around.

*thumbs up to Valve*

Re-Read it
"Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned"
"This does not reset achievements"
No idea why someone would want to do this.
