The update will allow users to create personal Steam pages and profiles, create and join groups, schedule games with friends, review post-game stats, and chat to groups and via voice. These new features will be compatible with all Steam games, not just new releases. "Adding these new community features to make it easier to connect with other gamers is something we've wanted to see on Steam for a long time and this latest update is just the start," said Valve's Gabe Newell. "We've got a long list of items that we're working on to make it easier for gamers to connect and play games on Steam." The update, the largest since Steam's initial release in 2004, will be available free of charge online and via the Steam client. Link to comment

Hopefully they won't fuck steam up. Anyone remember dynamic pricing? Yeah... this could be bad. Link to comment

Sup friends list breaking constantly as it is? I dunno how many people are [unknown] to me, or how many times i've gone [unknown] to friends. Link to comment

And the friends list is still kinda glitchy sometimes... hopefully they'll fix that too... Link to comment

Havin new weapons would be cool, but like pancake said, it would be imba for a while. Plus, we all know that valve/steam couldn't even contemplate balancing new weapons; there are too many problem that are ongoing that they havent even tried to fix... Link to comment
