The Team Fortress 2 website announces that Mannpower Mode is out of beta, and offer these patch notes for the update that brings this to the live version of the multiplayer shooter. This update also launches this year's installment in their Scream Fortress event, their seventh annual Halloween festival. Here's word on the Manpower update:

Mannpower Mode is out of beta! Thank you so much to the TF2 community for all of your great feedback since we first launched the beta late last year. We think the mode is a lot more fast-paced and fun, and can't wait to hear what you think of the improvements. We're also shipping a map specifically designed for Mannpower called Hellfire as part of our Scream Fortress Update. So fire up the game, have some fun grappling around, and let us know what you think!

Below, please find a beginner's guide to everything you need to know about this mode.

Welcome to Mannpower Mode

Mannpower is a CTF-like game mode with powerups scattered throughout the map. When picked up, the powerups give you different abilities that you can use to help capture enemy flags. You can also use the grappling hook to fly through the air and get to places that feet alone can’t take you.
