K příležitosti blížícího se Halloweenu vydává Valve update, který klasicky přidává tématické změny. V herních módech Casual, Demolition a Flying Scoutsman se mrtví hráči budou nyní proměňovat na duchy. Ti sice budou moci být spatřeni pouze ostatními duchy a observerem, na druhou stranu můžou sprejovat graffiti a například střílet do míčů a jiných interaktivních předmětů na mapě.
A co se normální aktualizace týče? Jak bývá u takovýchto update zvykem, nic moc velkého nepřinesla. Vedle klasických bug fixů, či lehkých úprav méně podstatných map vyčnívají jen změny Cobblestone. Ty překvapivě nejsou jen kosmetické, z mapy například mizí známé propojení Áčkového longu a Underpassu. Úprava Cobblestone je ale opravdu jediným reálně podstatným v této aktualizaci, nejste-li tedy fanoušky Halloweenských dekorací, moc vás asi nepotěší.
