Valve Software sent along details of the Half-Life 1.0.1.6 patch which should be released next week, complete with two screenshots from the new Team Fortress Classic levels. Here's the scoop:

Half-Life update 1.0.1.6 contains two new maps for Team Fortress Classic and a variety of server enhancements.

The New Maps
* Badlands - Primarily an outdoors map with an emphasis on vertical positions, Badlands features traditional capture the flag play through a twisted collection of step canyons-a locale tailored for the sharp shooters.

* Crossover - A mix of exposed outdoor areas and tight indoor spaces littered throughout the corridors of two symmetrical bases, this map provides a venue for varied and fast paced CTF games.

   
Server Items
We have addressed a number of server side items in this release, including the Linux message of the day fix and a number of other items requested by our Half-Life server administrators.
