Title: Scout Updates revealing(This week)
Post by: crazydog on February 18, 2009, 01:25:08 AM

http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/

First:
The Sandman (Bat Replacement)- http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/sandman.htm
Basically:

• Stun enemies with a baseball (farther the enemy, longer they are stunned)
• No double jumping
• You can still use it normally (I'm assuming right click will hit the ball)

Second:
New (custom) maps - http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm
Basically:

• arena_watchtower - Large arena map with vertical space and stuff
• cp_junction - Gravelpit-like map. Indoor and short lines of sight.

Third:
'Bonk' Energy Drink (Pistol Replacement) - http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm (and achievements)
Basically:

• You can drink an energy drink that makes you move faster than normal for a few seconds
• Achievement icons and names revealed, but sadly, as it it stated as an HTML comment:
  "<!-- No clues this time. Nothing to see here, move along now Fortress fans... -->"

Fourth:
Another new map, and an update to fastlane - http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/egypt.htm
Basically:

• cp_egypt now an official map (We had it right a while back! :P)
• Fixes to cp_fastlane
• Achievement details released

I'll update this post as they are released.

I don't like this new bat. I just hope it's hard as hell to hit with it.

There were lots of small tweaks, including the ones to the demoman yesterday (you do less damage with your stickies when you are closer to the person you hit).

And these tweaks about a 3 weeks ago:

Two new maps - http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm

ARENA_WATCHTOWER
created by Joshua ‘JoshuaC’ Shiflet
An Arena map that plays unlike any of Valve’s Arena maps, with a heavy focus on vertical space and long, open sight lines. Control of the central building is a key decision that teams must wrestle over. More Sniper friendly than most Arena maps, it’s a perfect complement to the Scout update. Batter up!

CP_JUNCTION
created by Sean ‘Heyo’ Cutino
A Gravel-Pit style map that the community has been heckling us to include for months. Junction is a sharp contrast to Watchtower. It’s full of tight spaces and short sight lines, which create combat opportunities dominated by ambushes and explosive weaponry.

heheh Egypt is one of the new maps.  Also getting an update for fastlane.  They also mention the scattergun being able to make the scout jump higher.

Woo! Egypt! Now we can put it back in our rotation! I knew it was  good map.

I think the whole map rotation will need an overhaul.
Force of Nature is the scatter gun trade out.
