Team Fortress 2's Scream Fortress XVIII Adds Five Community Maps Through November 7

Valve's October 1 patch started Scream Fortress XVIII, Team Fortress 2's Halloween event, which runs until November 7. It adds five community maps (HolyHell, Scarypass, Trainsawlaser, Medi-Evil, and Scaredy-Cat), the Haunted Hoard Case with 23 community cosmetics, five taunts, and 21 new unusual effects. Zombie Survival mode also gets new zombie abilities, a spawn picker, and map rebalancing.
