Team Fortress 2 Unviels Another New Game Mode, With Grappling Hooks

If you are still playing Team Fortress 2 and continue to build up your hat collection, then this will probably excite you. TF2 has added a new game mode in beta called "Mannpower Mode".

About the game mode
It's an in-beta CTF-like game mode with grappling hooks and nine different types of powerups. (A lot of this will change during this mode's development. We'll be tweaking rules and adding/subtracting powerups as we go.) It's currently playable in modified versions of Ctf_foundry and Ctf_gorge.

Mannpower alters a few game rules. For one, random critical hits have been disabled. Additionally, teams won't be able to capture the enemy flag unless your flag is at your base. (When your flag is away from your base, you can touch it to instantly return it to base.)

What was that part about grappling hooks?

Right, that! There's a grappling hook available to all classes in Mannpower Mode. You can equip it in your action slot and use it by switching to slot 6. Press fire to shoot out a hook. As soon as it hits something, it’ll start to reel you in. Release the fire button when you want to detach.

See the full details here.

This sounds like it could be seriously fun, and has given me a reason to re-download TF2.
