Valve has finally confirmed that the Sniper will be the next Team Fortress 2 class to receive unlockable items and class-specific achievements. There will also be new maps and gameplay tweaks.

However, there will be another update before the Sniper class is updated; it will include new content for all classes.

Meanwhile, Xbox 360 gamers are left in the dark on these updates. Greg Charlin of Valve addressed the issue, noting that they are still working to bring that content to consoles. Here’s what he had to say for the delay:

The original version of TF2 in the Orange Box was very close to the Xbox’s memory limit, and all the additional TF2 content we’ve produced has pushed well beyond it. We’ve found a couple of nifty ways to get back a bunch of that memory, but it’s turned out to be a lot of work, and that’s what most of our time is being spent on. In the meantime, we’re going to get a code update out to address the server cheating that’s going on.
