I'd hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague Dreadmaker, but the case cannot contain 100% water unless you assume that the case itself is made buoyant materials like foam. To me the case seems to be made of plastic or at least metal, meaning that if water is the payload, the case will need to be at least partially air to make the case neutrally buoyant.
If, however, this was the case, we'd see the case moving around on the ground as the water inside sloshes. We'd also notice a drunken waver in any character as they move, with the water sloshing about. Finally, the case, if full of water, would be quite heavy; 20-30 lbs. However, the Scout can still double jump with one strapped to his back.
I would submit to you that never once did I suggest that the case NOT be made from a foam, and not once did I suggest the case was full to capacity with water.
I would point out, sir, that while in a real life scenario, this would be correct. HOWEVER, it is an imaginary medium that we are dealing with.
Consider for a moment, the rocket jump, or the sticky jump. If one were to attempt to gain vertical advantage through use of explosives, they would find themselves in more pieces than when they started.
How about a heavy? jumping with the minigun, which reportedly weighs 150 kilograms, would be nigh on impossible for any human, despite what may be said about the heavy's formidable size. conversely, look at the scout. how probable is it that one can stop motion entirely, and direct energy in another direction entirely, in midair?

You never suggested it, but I did. it's quite shiny to be foam. However, a metal briefcase full of foam would work as well. Hadn't thought of that.
I fully accept that they have advanced weaponry with strange side effects, as I believe I mentioned that as well. That they can build advanced tech, but can't pick up a briefcase if it's the same color as their shirt.
We might as well say that the intel briefcases have repulsorlift anti-inertial systems installed to make them float and rotate.
I'm not going to make excuses for the game. My point still stands, though, that the intelligence is worthless, nothing but a football in an insidious game for an insane CEO.

they're both psychotic but they're in an endless war over...something? a fight that happened in there childhood perhaps, they both got 100 billion dollar inheritance each and with it they hired people who enjoyed fighting and built machines that could clone them (thus explaneing respawn AND how there can be multiples of one person)
