Escapist Magazine has some intriguing new information regarding the ever evolving Team Fortress 2 along with some insight into the games development with Valves very own Robin Walker.

The Scout is the next class slated for the special treatment, and Walker expects the update will be available early this year. Additionally, the team is juggling a number of side projects at the moment, including finally bringing a year's worth of the downloadable content and upgrades to the Xbox 360 version of the game. A new Payload map is in the works, more community maps are on the way and the team will soon unveil a very different new game mode.
