Next Team Fortress 2 update to be non-class specific 

Valve has announced that the next update to Team Fortress 2 will be non-class specific, giving the goods to all in equal opportunity fashion.

The first are new hats -eighteen to be exact -two for each of the nine classes along with a map called Arena Offblast.

The map is a battleground on a mountain cliff where players need to be careful 'round the edges.

Expect more information to be released between now and the next update, per usual.

Thanks, Joystiq.
