Valve kicks off Pyromania with new Team Fortress 2 map
Posted on June 25, 2012 by OG

The "Meet the Team" shorts have become quite an event for Valve.  These shorts not hilarious on their own, but they come with a variety of gameplay changes to Team Fortress 2.  On Thursday, Valve will release the "Meet the Pyro" short, but instead of simply putting the video out there with all the gameplay changes, they've decided to make it a three day event called Pyromania. 

For the first day of Pyromania, Valve revealed a new map and mode.  The map is Doomsday, and the mode has team BLU and RED fighting over a suitcase nuke that needs to be given to American monkeynaut, Poopy Joe.  Sounds crazy, but it's Valve so it's sure to be fun.  We'll see what comes next tomorrow with day 2 of Pyromania.
