I never really paid full attention to today's Team Fortress 2 update with the "Added new items for upcoming promotions" line, I thought it was just an update for the Red Orchestra 2 items, but thanks to my friend, Phantom, it's much more than that.
Valve is rolling out promotional items for different games; Skyrim, Brink, Fallout and Rage are the related games in question and with those games, you get items for Team Fortress 2.
Brink - "Anger"
Skyrim - "Tamrielic Relic"
Fallout - "Pip-Boy 1950" (Misc)
RAGE - "Wingstick" (Misc.)
Quake - New Rocket Launcher
No one really knows for sure how to get these promotional items, it's all speculation right now. But promotional items weren't the only thing today. The Mask of the Shaman gets and updated look, which is a a lot better than the old style, I wonder if you can set the style to change it back to the original look.
Oh. My. God. I want that sniper item...
