In our hurry to tell you about yesterday's two-hour-long Team Fortress 2 fire sale, we didn't really give you all the in-depth info about the accompanying Pumpkin Patch update which you so richly deserve. We'll rectify that now, but not before saying that a few short hours after the announcement was posted yesterday afternoon, the update went live! You can play it right now -- on PC, of course. Oh, you thought it might come to the 360? That's adorable.
The update will temporarily introduce a King of the Hill map called "Harvest" into the mix, complete with Halloween-themed elements like collectible candy, exploding pumpkins, and the ghost of Zepheniah Mann, who temporarily freezes passersby in a gripping, powerful spell of fear. Five Achivements are available during the festivities, as well as a number of "Mildly Disturbing Halloween Hats," or paper bags with scary faces painted on them. If you're lucky, you might just get the one emblazoned with Joan Rivers' visage. Aaaaah!

I was under the impression that harvest isn't a temporary map, just the halloween "event" version of it.
Anyways, this map is pretty damn fun.

I love the idea of getting the hat by dominating someone with it, hope they keep going with that. Maybe add to all hats...nudge to valve.

Yeah, cause they're definitely acknowledging the game even exists on PS3. Oh, wait.

Shouldn't they have focused on Left4Dead for this year's halloween update? It's have helped apease the masses.
