From the Heavy Update site: This open area has few natural choke points, allowing Scouts, Soldiers, and Demomen to move creatively through the space, forcing the Red team to rapidly respond to choices made by Blu. I’m looking forward to see how “creatively” they’ve gimped any hope of putting up a Sentry Gun on this [...]

Probably still my favorite screenshot.

Oh Valve: you tease, you! From the TF2 Official Blog: In addition to the three unlockable weapons and thirty-five achievements for the Heavy, we’ve got a new game mode with five new arenas for it….

Another curious phenomena surrounding TF2 is the huge proliferation of what we nerds like to call “Fan Art“.
