If you haven't completely abandoned Team Fortress 2 for Left 4 Dead (or are straddling the two), then you'll want to start digging through this comprehensive new piece from The Escapist for hints about the cartoonish shooter's future. After a quick perusal, we've already spotted a tease for a "very different" new game mode (coming soon!) and discussion of a possible 10th class.

Speaking of L4D, we'd like to make our bid for the 10th class: The "Louis." His special skills include 1. being Louis and 2. shouting about pipe bombs. Get it done, Valve.

the team will soon unveil a very different new game mode
No answers in the article, although it's unlikely to be a return of the Hunted, VIP-escort maps - as that's what payload is based on. Perhaps it will be a return of those crazy skillz maps, where you had to bounce yourself around an obstacle course using rocket and conc jumps.

I thought that a recent update added the VIP model to the library? I loved hunted, a sniper vs everyone else map would be pretty cool.

I hope not and doubt it. I find those things get quite boring after a short while and I'd hope Valve would add something with more accessibility. Leave that shit up to the public.

VIP! VIP! VIP!

I loved that in TFC. Two snipers, a heavy and a fat bloke with an umbrella. Brilliantly tense, and bonus points for umbrella kills.
