Description
The Uber Update is often regarded as TF2's finest update next to Love & War; it added so much to the table; including a ton of new weapons; Meet the Medic, and a whole ton of rebalancing to existing content. As well as brand new beloved maps like Barnblitz. It also came with it's share of controversy among the TF2 community; with the reveal that TF2 which previously was a normal purchasable game; but was going the route of Free 2 Play. Obviously it worked out better in Valve's book, and the community is more at ease with it than they were before.

Anyway; the very first day of the Uber Update was called: Mobster Monday; it was mostly centered around Spy and Heavy being old time Mafia Hitmen; and ultimately revealed their mafia sets: The Man of Honor for Spy and Black Market Business for Heavy; composed of some of the more interesting weapons in their sets; The Enforcer, Big Earner, Tomislav, Family Business and the Eviction Notice. Though some of these were underwhelming on release; others were considered broken and quickly rebalanced.

It begs me to ask though; why does Valve no longer add themed updates like these to TF2? They were kinda awesome; even if they had no real purpose. I kinda liked the idea of Mobster Monday. Later Scout was given a Mobster set as well; The Public Enemy set, released in the Pyromania update; but I really did hope they would release more of these; which they sadly did not. The closest we got was the Sleeping Dogs Triad gear.
