The Scout update (it's close now)
Rofl teh cake
and try to hit the scout back? What are you, the son of sniper wolf, who regularily hits on wilhelm tell and is married to Ramini? If you see the ball coming, it'll be most likely to late to reflect it I suppose, I am sure it'll be as fast as the Flare Gun, which is already a bitch to reflect and it's the scout who whacks it, the one who could beat Usain Bolt Frown

It doesn't matter if you hit the scout or not, the point is canceling the attack (think deflecting a crit rocket away from your teammates).

I would be astonished if you couldn't airblast the baseball. At this stage you can airblast any projectile weapon in the game, including flares and even syringes... so it'd be really odd to change that all of a sudden for no discernible reason Smile whether you'll be able to stun peeps with a reflected baseball or not remains to be seen, although I'd guess that you probably will be able to. What I want to know is if scouts will be able to hit back baseballs that get shot at them Grin

I can see a baseball map now... scout pitching, pyro batting, pyros fielding...
 
Ramini
Thats what I was meaning by the Pyros being buffed again. A good pyro can usually beat another air blasting pyro and get to his target, if they are also the only class that can survive the ball then yay!

Although I'm good at reflecting rockets and I'm nearly the best sniper on the server (not that other classes can't aim). I might play scout even more. I do enjoy making people ragequit and dancing around them stunning them for 10 minutes would be a good way.

I've played Junction 12v12 now , and I can't say I like it.
You just can't play scout on it and it's a fucking sticky/rocket spam Sad
 
wolflordandy
Maybe by releasing it with teh scout patch, so everyone is scout, it might magically work?

Wooooooo cart racing should be fun Grin I bet the scattergun unlockable is a double barrelled shottie with alternate fire shooting both shells at once Smile
 
Raven
lol atomic drink looks awesome

'i am a blur here' xD
 
Ramini
As long as its just a speed boost ok.. if it gives those little green "miss" signs and nullifies all damage thats really really annoying.
 
NaughtyMe
It looks like just hitscan weapons - therefore, if that turbo scout rushes past the sentry to the cap....booomm...with the stickie trap might still work, or a passing flame from a pyro. In fact that would work nicely, as when he enters the cool down from the drink he is at greater risk to just burning to a crisp.

I guess LVL 3 sentries might still be able to hit with the missiles.

It'll also allow scouts to escape natasha's grip.

3 fucking awful things if you ask me. A baseball that impares movement. Junction. And now something that unnesesarily boosts his speed.

What the hell?
 
spaceboy
Hey you know, surely play them first before letting the whining commence? It's totally conceivable that there's factors that balance out these unlocks which will become instantly apparent when we actually get to use them. We don't know how long the speedyness lasts, how fast said speedyness is, how long the subsequent slowyness lasts and how slowy it is Wink just to give a few examples.. and Junction; well, I imagine it just won't be on the server so it doesn't really matter now does it Smile
 
Raven
if the drink can do all that there most be some serious after affect after usin it Drunk
 
Cpt Obvious
scout slows down, maybe way under 100%?
 
Raven
ye shud does stop for a couple of secs (or a few moar)
 
Undead2k
What about the radioactive side effects of the drink?

Your vision might also get messed up along with the speed. Heck, you might glow green afterwards as well Grin that would be cool.

Radioactive Scout!
