− | The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas/ Australian Christmas]'''</span> was a [[Patches#Major updates|major content]] update for ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' and was released on
| |
− | {{Patch name|12|17|2010}}.
| |
− | | |
− | A new game mode, [[Medieval Mode]], was introduced which featured a new map, [[DeGroot Keep]].
| |
− | | |
− | The update increased backpack slots from 200 to 300, and introduced the ability to acquire additional slots, 100 at a time, by purchasing the [[Backpack Expander]] item. The maximum backpack size became 1000 slots.
| |
− | | |
− | During the event, the [[Festive Winter Crate]] became unlockable with a [[Festive Winter Crate Key]] that was only available as a purchase from the [[Mann Co. Store]] for $2.49 / £1.99 / €2.49.
| |
− | | |
− | == Background ==
| |
− | On December 18, 1788, less than a year after the first settlers colonized Australia, an old cutthroat named [[non-player characters#Old Nick|Nicolas Crowder]] arrived on a boat with some other new settlers, took one look at the heat and privations, said "screw this," commandeered the boat, and set course on a one-man voyage to conquer the South Pole. Legend tells that he lives there still.
| |
− | | |
− | Every December 18th, "Old Nick" returns down under to find out if Australia's children have been naughty or nice. The nice children are given the greatest gift of all -- they are not abducted along with the naughty ones and carted off to the South Pole.
| |
− | | |
− | For the next twelve months, the naughty children make toys to Old Nick's exacting specifications. Then, on December 17th, the presents are gift-wrapped, placed in a sleigh, and driven to Old Nick's mansion, where he opens them. Naturally, given the sheer number of hats and weapons Old Nick receives, there are bound to be duplicates – and every December 18th, he posts them online, selling them at prices so low that he's practically giving them away.
