TF2 Sniper Update to be "Largest TF2 Update Yet"

Hot on the lickety-quick heels of the Scout, TF2’s Sniper class is next in line for an update. And if you thought the Scout’s new toys weren’t a big enough deal, you’ll be happy to hear that the Sniper update will be – at the very least – .0001% larger.
"It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks," wrote Greg Cherlin on Valve's Team Fortress blog.
As with other class updates, the update will include unlockable items and a set of class-specific achievements. Maybe a new hat, or support for a large, plastic rifle peripheral, we’re hoping.
But what if you really, truly loathe TF2’s suavest psychopath, and just don’t think your current arsenal allows you to kill him hard enough?
"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," Cherlin explained.
See? Everybody wins. Valve understands the meaning of a good compromise. Giving everyone everything they want – through head-perforating violence!

So when will the sniper update become available and why did they screw up the server list?

I've always enjoyed the sniper and for this reason I'm reinstalling TF2.

I love the sniper, its my favorite class. and I'm pretty good at it too.
but
everytime valve puts out one of these packs, I can't play for two weeks because everybody tries to get all the achivements and all the games have half the players being the same class. I don't know about any of you but having 12 snipers per team is not an appealing prospect

I agree, that Valve does seem to do a lot of things in FAVOR of the customer these days.
They weren't always like that, but credit where credit due that they could grow and improve like that. I wish more companies were like that.

It's great how Valve changes things for the better. Well, almost every time instead of other companies who sometimes just change a very important aspect and destroy the game sometimes (Like Sony with that Star Wars MMO).
I have had the game for the longest time, but never got into it yet. It's for many games-I usually don't play multiplayer, but when I do I stick out like a sore thumb. I know I'll like it.
