Über Update Title Card.png
We've been holding one of the surprises pretty close to the vest for months now. We don't want to ruin it, but we'll give you four clues to get you guessing:

1.) It IS a "Meet the" short.
2.) It involves ONE of the two remaining classes.
3.) It's NOT the Pyro.

4.) It's the MEDIC.
TF2 Official Website

The Über Update was a major content update for Team Fortress 2, which was released on June 23, 2011 Patch. It was heralded as "the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2."

Trivia

  • The numbers on the placards that the Heavy and the Spy are holding up in their mug shots on the Mobster Monday page are the release dates of their respective Meet the Team videos. Meet the Heavy was released on May 14th, 2007 and Meet the Spy was released on May 19th, 2009.
    • The placards have the letters 'NM' on them, the abbreviation for the state of New Mexico in the USA.
    • The placards also read 'Teufort', the locational name of 2Fort.
  • The line sleep with the fishes on the Mobster Monday blog post is a reference to The Godfather movie. The line is a term for someone who has been murdered and then thrown into the ocean and is therefore "sleeping" with the fishes.
  • Timbuk Tuesday refers to Timbuktu, a West African town that is commonly stereotyped as being exotically far away.
  • Before a big battle or the start of a war, the commanding officer of a group of soldiers may give a speech in order to raise morale and rally the strength of their troops.
  • The battleplan on the World War Wednesday page is identical to the one featured in Meet the Heavy (shown in the gallery below).
  • On the announcement for Timbuk Tuesday, Sniper Rifle is misspelled "Sniper Rilfe"
