Yeah it looks good. My current connection has abysmal rubberbanding, but the new modes look good. Any idea about the stats on the new weapons?

I'm pretty sure they're all reskins since it doesn't list any stats whatsoever.

It's so bizarre they're releasing it this early in October, and it's just my luck that the update hits while I'm sleeping. I'll have to check it out once I get back from work in the morning.

0/10 no actual aliens.

In all seriousness, this is no different to End of the Line. Community update, a map or two, cosmetics, and a reskin of existing weapons that are only craftable with custom blueprints, or found in a crate. Some good ideas, but the update seems sparse in comparison to Gun Mettle.

Here's my initial first impressions of each map:

Probe: Messy design. WROOOM WROOOM WROOOM You better get used to hearing that because no matter where you are the ambient noise from the UFO is gonna be loud and distracting.

Byre: You know why the Arena gamemode died? Because it sucked and everyone hated it. It's no exception here, nobody likes dying and then having to wait an indefinite amount of time for a new round.

2fort: To be honest I didn't even play any BooFort, but I don't think I have to to conclude that it's crap.

Watergate: Is this like robot destruction? What's with these liquor bottles we're picking up? What's happening here, why is everything just a cluster♥♥♥♥ everywhere?? WE ARE IN THE BEAM! WE ARE IN THE BEAM! WE ARE IN THE BEAM!

I hate all the new maps. 0/10 for maps, Invasion Update.

There's a running theme between all of the maps that no matter what, there's gonna be irritating UFO noises and distracting ambient sounds all the time, making it hard to concentrate on actually fighting. This is honestly my biggest beef, I just hate having to hear anything outside the players and the Administrator, and this weird announcer shouting about the BEAM quickly got under my nerves.

2fort is a crappy map, but fun.

i dont like the explosive pumpkin right by spawn 1 -> courtyard, though.

probe isn't too bad except for the part where there's only one medkit that isnt miles away from mid.

watergate is a spin on the sd gamemode, i dont know why anybody made it, sd is a shitty mode, nobody liked it, yet valve decided to make it last years halloween reskin and released another map of it. i just don't know, it's the worst mode ever conceived.

I think with pd_watergate they were mimicking DM servers more than anything. The beam in the middle is sort of like that doomsday map, but the health mechanics of the liquor bottles seem very similar to DM, and the mode is called "player destruction". In a DM server or mode you typically gain full health and loaded ammo on kill, and regenerate health after not taking damage from another player after some time (and also has random spawns in the center of the map). It's not a serious mode, but something people use to practice before a match. The bottles seemed to do sort of the same thing regarding regenerating health, plus making everyone a walking dispenser. But yeah, unfortunately the map is too much of a clusterfuck to enjoy, and amassing bottles causes the same sort of stupid crap you see with eyelander demoknights in most pubs (but on every class), so it'll probably never see another map.

I would say this update's better than end of the line and worse than gun mettle. I crash on connection to the 2fort map, but I haven't seen any horrible bugs yet otherwise. "Oh no, I can't play 2fort, whatever will I do instead!?"

Tbh gun mettle is one of my favorite updates of all time. It made so many desperately needed balance changes, just amazing. Made the game much more enjoyable.
That said, it's not hard to beat quite a few updates, such as pyro "pyro doesn't even get the most new stuff unless you want to wear an ugly cosmetic" mania.
