− | The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://store.steampowered.com/news/3017/ Hallowe'en Update]'''</span> was the first in what would become an annual event update. an patch for the [[Pyro]] that was released on [[June 19, 2008 Patch|June 19, 2008]]. The Pyro was the second class that was provided with a major content pack. The update also included the first community-made maps that were added to the game, [[Fastlane]] and [[Turbine]]. [[Meet the Sniper]] was released alongside the update, although the video was listed at the bottom of the page rather than as a major part of the patch, similar to the previously released [[Gold Rush Update]]. The update page also featured a link leading to the Valve Developer Wiki, which detailed the design of Team Fortress 2's maps.

| |
− | The release of the Pyro Update also heralded the arrival of the first [[Taunts#Special_Taunts|taunt kill]], the Pyro's [[Hadouken]] taunt, which instantly kills enemies within range. The update also added the [[compression blast]] to the original [[Flamethrower]], something that soon became a core technique of the [[Pyro]]'s skill set.
