Scout update!!!!!

[B_Zeal]

meh I don't like it
double jumping is what scouts are all about, it's way better to jump around an enemy so he can't hit you while you take him out, as opposed to being able to stun someone but be vulnerable all the time
but I don't know, we'll see, maybe it works well with some of the other weapons

right now I see it the same as sandvich. Carry your own medkit? No thanks, they're all over the place, I'd rather have a gun

 

[Retribution]

WOOHOO! finally!

 

[Captain Ashton]

That looks so awsome.
I just hate the fact that the update comes out on the day I start my mock GCSE exams.

Agreed.

I couldn't see myself using this thing (I have terrible aim as it is, me arcing a baseball across blackmesa? not gonna happen). Hopefully the other things are more useful.

I'm a bit worried about the ball ditzing Ubers, if I read it right. Although how that is worse than a concussion blast, I'm not sure.

I want timing! It it a second per second in the air? How accurate do you have to be? Is the diagram right, do you have to arc it?

Depending on the stats, I could really like this. I can see our rezident scouts running across the bridge awning in 2.0FORT bonking a sniper with a baseball then just all going to town with him.

Glad the penalty is so severe, as was said before. Doublejump to stun?

Is the bat more, or less effective when you use it for whacking? Is the ball an alt-fire? Does it have ammo? Do you have to retrieve your ball? I would love it if other people could pick up your ball as ammo and suddenly you're ball-less.

Scouts wouldn't be able to use it like that in 2Fort, they can't double jump with it. I can imagine it will fly in a manner similar to the Flare gun. A long slow arc that if you are paying attention you'll see coming. On the other hand, I can see this as an equalizer for the scout to the heavy. A scout can swing some lumber and bean to heavy with this, then run in and finish the fatboy off. My Question is, what weapon will this replace? If it replaces the normal bat, then will it be capable of melee with the left mouse button, and hitting balls with the right?

I think that it sounds pretty cool and it would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING if you could launch the baseballs back with the airblast. I wonder if it puts you into the "taunt mode" like the sandvich how you are completely incabable of doing anything except for hitting the ball and aiming it...
Still, I can't wait for another big update!

*begins spinning Natascha&*

 

[jshotzz]

I think it will be effective only on big maps! dustbowl and 2fort a no no

 

[KetchupMoose]

I'm going to enjoy getting hit with baseballs. The scouts will hit me and then attempt to jump to me... but alas they would not be able to double jump and collapse like... a bunch of broccoli!

 

[DarkElfa]

Get ready for the baseball spam buddies!

That first weapon, oh my god. Valve must've read my own damn mind...because wow.....

Quote/unquote from Me talking to my friend Cinos:

"One of the new weapons, would probably be a wooden bat replacing the regular one. It will obviously be good or helpful somehow but you probably can't double jump."

I swear.

WOW.

xD

When it comes to changes to the scout, I think instead of a scattergun he'll get like an Uzi or Saw-Off shotgun. As for the update itself, I can't wait to see what's the next weapon to be released.

 

[DarkHawk101]

When does it come out!

 

[Major Payne]

Hmm after just reading that paragraph, I don't like it. I won't judge it too much yet though.

 

[Carmine]

My Question is, what weapon will this replace? If it replaces the normal bat, then will it be capable of melee with the left mouse button, and hitting balls with the right?

Most likely it will replace the normal bat, on the main scout update page he is doing the bat taunt with the sandman and it will probably be melee capable assuming from the diagram of scout bonking soldier after hitting him with a baseball.

 

[Officer-Pie]

Sandman!! I know that guy!

I gotta go play tf2 Haven't in about a month

 

[Ca$h Money]

Lolz "or Australian enough" thats a classic!

 

[WaterSnake]

Bloody awesome, isn't it?

It just takes the advantages of the scout away. Cant double jump, and gotta stop moving so u can hit a ball. With 125 hp i doubt u wanna stand still often.
