Yesterday I said that TF2 will be getting a heafty amount of promotional items for certain games. Today, Valve released information for the Wingstick, the Original Rocket Launcher, the Tamrielic Relic and the Anger Hoodmask.

Pre-purchasing RAGE gets you the Wingstick for the Engineer while purchasing Quake 4 gets you the Original Rocket Launcher for the Soldier with an additional 30% off on the Quakecon Pack and pre-purchasing Skyrim before August 8th will land you the Tamrielic Relic for the Heavy.

That's not all that's going on, Brink is having a free weekend  starting today and going until Sunday at 1 p.m. Pacific time. If you buy Brink before Monday at 10 a.m. you get 50% off the game and the Sniper's Anger Hoodmask for TF2.

From the 4th all the way until the 7th, steam will be having a different sale. All that's left for the promotional items is the Pip-boy 1950 for the Engineer.

New Promotional Items For Team Fortress 2

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.

Like I said, how to obtain these items are speculation at the moment, so I'll let you guys know once it's announced.

I would so but Rift if I just had that much money AND money for its subscription cost. I loved playing the beta for it and I've wanted the game ever since. Life is unfair when you don't have a steady income. At least with some of the games I have, I can earn more Prize Tickets, don't forget those update daily as well.
