Classless Update
The Classless Update was released August 13, 2009, and marked the first non-class specific Pack Update. Rather than focus on the additions of new weapons and achievements, the update added new hats, game modes and maps, while also delivering a large number of minor edits and tweaking to already exsisting gameplay.
