Scout update!!!!!

[Yankee [inactive]]

I am the type of guy that believes in "Wait and see what the final product is like when it comes out."

However, I do see things I don't like about the uber-stun capability. It takes both time AND teamwork to build ubers. I uber a heavy and he gets stunned could translate into me getting wayyy too much lovin' from the opposing team. Thats just one type of scenario though and it easily could not play out like that at all.

The REAL concern is defense. Defensive stalemates are NOT fun. One scout that hangs around a sentry nest freezing ubers could really make bases impenetrable. Yes, killing ubers is great fun but there should be costs. The pyro blowback is a great method but it is usually at the cost of the pyro's life.

As far as there not being many scouts? Wait until the update. That will change FAST. I still have nightmares of dieing with 10 medic teammates all around me with their needle guns out.

Just my two cents...

DISCLAIMER: Everything said above could be complete and absolute CRAP since this is pure conjecture. These are only first-impression opinions.

Most excellent man, This will a most excellent game now. Can't wait to see what else that have in store for us.

I'm surprised no one mentioned snipers
They love people who stand still as it is, this stun ball is like a dream come true

Unlike to the victim, who can't move for 0.9 agonizing seconds
At least they'll get to spec for a bit and a cool screenshot of the sniper taunting

never thought of that, good point.
they haven't released any more yet tho

Well, they will show off some stuff later today, might be the pistol replacement ?

 

[DarkElfa]

No, I don't think so Carne, if the Heavy update was any clue, they'll want to space out the weapon releases and instead show a new map or gameplay style today, then on Thursday or Friday show another weapon.

Heh, maybe. Only thing I don't like about the blog is that they probably show of the next thing around 11:30 PM GMT+1 in Norwegian timezone. Which means, byt that time i'm sleeping, so I gotta check it out tomorrow

[Masterpiece]

2 new maps! http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm

they look pretty epic

 

[Plork]

CP_Junction huh? Never played that. Money says servers with the last build of that map will be super popular tonight (hint hint).

 

[EsQuiRe]

ya ive seen cp_junction in a video before and i thought it looked fun to play. Looks like a pyro, demoman map to me, cant wait.

 

[DarkElfa]

Well, I wasn't wrong, but I kind of wish I had been, I prefer weapon news.

They need some more CTF maps, especially one with the Alpine theme. I'm thinking Alpine forest maze.

 

[The Shape]

Bleh, another CP map.

 

[Vandall]

What's wrong with another gravel pit-style cp map? And it's a community map so, it's not like they put TONS of work into it like they normally do.
