The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://store.steampowered.com/news/3017/ Hallowe'en Update]'''</span> was the first in what would become an annual event update. an patch for the [[Pyro]] that was released on [[June 19, 2008 Patch|June 19, 2008]]. The Pyro was the second class that was provided with a major content pack. The update also included the first community-made maps that were added to the game, [[Fastlane]] and [[Turbine]]. [[Meet the Sniper]] was released alongside the update, although the video was listed at the bottom of the page rather than as a major part of the patch, similar to the previously released [[Gold Rush Update]]. The update page also featured a link leading to the Valve Developer Wiki, which detailed the design of Team Fortress 2's maps.
 
 
The release of the Pyro Update also heralded the arrival of the first [[Taunts#Special_Taunts|taunt kill]], the Pyro's [[Hadouken]] taunt, which instantly kills enemies within range. The update also added the [[compression blast]] to the original [[Flamethrower]], something that soon became a core technique of the [[Pyro]]'s skill set.

== Update Progress ==
 
The Pyro Update was the first update released by Valve that utilized the technique of slowly revealing content. A store promotional message released 13 days before the update first hinted at the coming changes, along with [[Meet the Sniper]]. The page contained a link leading to the [http://storefront.steampowered.com/Steam/Marketing/message/1608/img/axtinguisher.jpg/ concept art] for the [[Axtinguisher]].
 
 
Upon the release of [[Meet the Sniper]], the [[Flare Gun]] was teased in the final frames of the video as the [[Sniper]] killed a [[Pyro]] wielding the weapon. Soon after, all three weapons were revealed in their entirety and, on the following day, the 35 [[Pyro achievements|achievements]] were revealed.
