Classless Update

This article is for content released in the update. For the patch itself, see August 13, 2009 Patch.

The Classless Update was released on August 13, 2009, and marked the first non-class specific major update. The content focus of the update differed from previous updates; instead of introducing new weapons or achievements, the Classless Update added new hats, game modes and maps, while also delivering a large number of bug fixes and minor tweaks to existing gameplay.
