The Scout update (it's close now)
Leif
Valve just updated the blog http://www.teamfo...outupdate/ .
Today's update is the new bat for the scout. Sounds really cool. The release of the update will be on tuseday, February 24.
Five more news to go Grin what can it be?!!!. I hope that they'll release a new enviroment or a new gamemode Grin
I'm so thrilled Grin.

1. The Sandman
2. Community maps
3. Energy Drink and Achievments Note: New map in the background, looks like a double payloadmap
4. More Community maps *sigh*
5. The Force-A-Nature

I think that you'll have to change back to the regular bat if you want to doublejump again, atleast I hope so.

5 more news updates so that'll be scattergun replacement, pistol replacement, new map, new game mode, and community maps (or possibly a Meet The.. video if they're not doing another community pack).

All in all sounds good, people have suggested this unlock on the steam forums since people new unlocks were coming to the game at all so I'm glad that it's been included Grin I'm gonna go ahead and assume that if you've got it equipped at all you won't be able to double jump even if you aren't actually holding it.. otherwise that's not much of a disadvantage Smile .. which is good.. a Leif that can't double jump is a Leif I might actually be able to kill Pfft ... assuming I'm not standing around with stars circling my head!

Now when I think of it, I don't really like this idea. Especially that scouts can stun übers.
Now it's fucking hard to do something if you have a pyro airblasting you, and when scouts will be able to irritate übers, ehh I don't know. I hope they'll reduce the stun significantly for people that are überd than for those who are not.
 
Ramini
Yeah the uber stunning sounds bad, hard enough to do anything now anyway. Although.. if the pyro can reflect the ball... Grin
I don't like his hatred of australians also.

I do hope its seriously nerfed. Can't double jump with the bat out is still too good, should be that the scout has to stand still while batting a ball. Who runs and hits a ball hard? For people that can aim well then the scout will be stupidly good at dodging at a distance even without doublejump and would be able to stun them continually as he closes to bonk.

So long as the reload time is slow (at least as slow as the flare gun, probably a lot more tbh) I don't think it will be too much of a problem. I would expect the no double jump to be the same as the backburners original health boost in that it is always there.

edit; stationary firing is a must too, similar to the sandvich hopefully

Yeah I figure the ball batting will work like the Tank throwing rocks in L4D.. i.e. you click, the animation goes for a second or so with you planted to the spot and only able to aim until it's over.

stunning ubers D: hmm interesting new game tactics i sense
 
NaughtyMe
why don't they just get rid of the uber altogether! Upblast+stun, upblast+stun

..boo
I'm half asleep
watching the meet the soldier video.

I just got the "every time animals are together in one place its called a zoo" joke. I just thought it was a random thing to say until now Sick

Mike
Yes please.

The ubers are getting another obstical to overcome, first the pyro airblast, then being able to shoot stickies making destroying sentries harder with demo, now thisSad
 
Ramini
Indeed, they're making is so heavies can't move forward much and easy to stun while ubered. Demos find it harder to destroy sentry guns. The only class left to uber is pyro! gogo pyro!
 
gori11a
pyro is soo much funSmile
 
Rofl teh cake
The uber used to be one force, which fucked all the gameplay up for 10 seconds. And that was good. And what is Valve doing? Valve, you are not my son anymore :x
