You know what, I just want the rest of the "Meet the..." movies and VIP Game-mode to be brought back :(

The Meet The videos will all come in good time... as for your VIP Game mode, AKA Hunted.... It's there already. It's called Payload. Payload is Hunted's replacement, straight from the mouth of valve. A lot of different gametypes are thought of. Most of them get shoved aside for the reason Hunted did

Griefing.

If there were no such thing, Hunted would be an amazing and fun expeirence for all involved. But that isn't the case. You are always going to have someone who thinks it would be funny to charge right into the enemy and cost everyone the round, all for his own giggles. Or one that refuses to go towards the exit.

Another problem is player experience. While in a lot of cases, you may get a relatively incompitent team, rarely are you going to see one man ruin his team's chances at victory because of a low skill level. In hunted, 1 man is all it takes.

How to solve the problem? You take out the human element. You also take out the fact that in hunted, you kill the VIP. (1 headhsot and your done, wich is even more disappointing both for the offending team that just lost, and for the defending team, wich is now discouraged from actively participating and then just starts to Rambo since only 1 person is needed to actually do the job.)

So now you have an inaminate object. How to "escort" something like that. Tracks could do it. then they just went ahead and applied the theme of a bomb. There is your hunted.
 
I voted force-a-nature, I just wanna have that first :)
 
Ah, there are no more milestone achievements. I haven't noticed that until now. :)

What are you talking about? Of course the Scout has three milestone achievements, too. They just never showed these three on the update pages but if you download the achievement images the milestones are there, too.

I think the Force-A-Nature page gave us a pretty good idea about the next gamemode with all that reference to hunting.

I voted for Force-A-Nature. It sounds like the most fun weapon to me.

Uh, sorry, my bad. :D
 
The reason most people should vote for the Sandman is because most of the achievements involve that unlockable :) But, I myself voted teh energy drink.
 
Energy drink, just because I want the unlocking order to be untouched as in earlier updates (e.g. secondary unlock, then primary and the last - melee)
 
Alright guys and girls, as stated by a Valve guy, the Scout Update will be released in about 2+ hours. Found the statement in the Steam forum.
 
Is it just me, or do the weapons seem counter-productive/not needed?
Sandman = No double jump...but if you equip FaN, you get it right back with the KB.
Drink = Moar speed...but scouts are already the fastest class.
FaN = Triple jump? Do we, as scouts, really need to go higher? I understand that if you are weak and dying you can KB the person away, but how are we going to kill people?
I see scouts as being able to hold their own in a battle, be their own class, but with these achievement unlocks, i can only view them as support units to help other classes, nothing more.

The FaN works like a rocket jump. Now scouts can get into places that only demomen and soldiers could get to before. And being able to triple jump could lead to some very, very interesting new attack patterns from players.

The energy drink lets you dodge bullets. Imaging running through sentry fire, getting up close, blasting it to hell and then rushing out before a single bullet hits.

And for the sandman, people need to stop worrying so much about losing the double jump. It's like, uber or Kritz. No one is going to argue that the Kritzkrieg is useless even if it makes the medic lose his ability to make people invulnerable. The sandman sounds like it will make the scout really shine. I've hit people five times with a baseball bat before just to have them turn around and kill me instantly because I just didn't do enough damage to get them. This way, there's no way for them to fight back. And equipping the FaN to keep some kind of double jump is...just a good strategy. Nothing to get your knickers in a knot over.

I think the scout will finally be -more- than a support class. Scouts can't even turn the corner where there's a sentry gun stationed or instantly die pretty much every time. There's a reason I really want this drink..

Though, whatever man, you don't have to like the weapons. Just don't use them then and let Valve keep their scary, new, innovative and tested-for-months-before-we-ever-see-them game ideas far, far away from you.

I do believe the Force-A-Nature is a shotgun, so it can kill people?
