Team Fortress 2: Love & War Update, Day 1

Starting with a 15-minute cinematic, the next TF2 update is here! Are you bready?

Oh Valve, you always know exactly what we need. In this case, it's an incredible 15-minute cinematic called "Expiration Date", introducing us to the newest Team Fortress 2 update Love & War.

To sweeten Day 1 even more, Valve has revealed five new two-person taunts. Considering there were only five action-slot taunts to-date, and only one was interactive, that's a major jump. If Valve's post in April is any indication, these may not even be the last new taunts.

So why taunts, you ask? It's the love part of Love & War!

"When it comes to the full spectrum of expressing affection for your fellow humans, let's face it, it's a pretty thin gruel. We took to the streets and asked a wide sample of strangers to show us affection as a test, and by our final tally the only ways humanity has to tell someone they care are awkward hugs, backing away nervously and administering pepper-spray shots to the eyes.

"And so, allow us to introduce a variety of new, vastly better expressions, so that you can let your fellow mercs know they've earned a special place in the rusty gnarl of barbed wire you call a heart."

Now, what can we expect from Day 2 and Day 3? More taunts? Weapons and miscs from the cinematic? A moonbase? It's hard to say, but we can't – and won't have to – wait for what's next.
