The third Scout unlock (spoliers)?

[Goretex]

Was looking at some of the talk on facepunch when I came across this.

Looks to me like a new unlock.

 

[Masterpiece]

Just like the map behind the scout , looks like it's gonna be a powerful gun, maybe less ammo and slower, we'll see

 

[!Woodstock!]

Unload both barrels at the same time?

 

[Davethegreat]

Left click = one barrel
Right click = two barrel

Could be.

 

[Paintballer]

i was just about to post that pic.

it's double barrel shotty someone got ahold of achievement list somehow and posted them and some had double barrel shotgun kills and such in them

also yeah double payload is new gamemode

[DRaGZ]

Doesn't the scattergun already have two barrels?

EDIT: See, look:

I'm reading some forum on steam saying that the update isn't going to be the scout. I've heard rumors that all classes will be getting some "buff" for the update (soundpacks found with recent update) of classes saying things like "New gun!," "Yes, I like this new weapon!" Was confirmed by valve that they hope to eventually give new weapon unlocks to all classes through something other than achievements sometime in the near future.

Models on the scout update seem to be "half-assed." 2D-ish. A ball and a soda can? What kind of update to weapons is that? There is no "R" trademark after TEAM FORTRESS 2 on the scout update, the other updated classes (heavy, medic, pyro) have had the trademark after Fortress.

And finally

www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate

compared to older updates.
http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/
http://steamgames.com/tf2/pyro/
http://steamgames.com/tf2/goldrush/


Anyways, the weapons are exciting and new for me. I'm very anxious to get a hold of them. But if it is a red herring to a different update (some suggest spy), props to Valve. Either way, I can't wait til next week.

That might explain why the Scout's achievements aren't explained. >_>

 

[spookytay]

anyone notice this in the page source of Thursdays update?

<!-- No clues this time. Nothing to see here, move along now Fortress fans... -->

If I remember correctly, the Heavy achievements weren't explained until either just before the update came out or when the udpate came out.

 

[Beta]

yea, last time when the pyro update achievement list came out, you could right click, select properties on the image and see a small hint

 

[DRaGZ]

Oh okay. I came onto the TF2 scene after the Heavy update released, so I don't know such details.

 

[B_Zeal]

Nothing is more awesome than blasting both barrels of your shotgun. Nothing.
It's the only way to go about killing vortigaunts, as I'm sure most of you older people know.

I really hope they add that...

 

[Carmine]

I think it is really the spy update...

 

[Goretex]

I think it is really the spy update...

why?

 

[Carmine]

why?

What better way to introduce the spy than do a lame update for another class then say surprise, its really a spy!

 

[DRaGZ]

I'm pretty sure it's the Scout update. Making all that artwork takes time and money, which would not be worth it just for a little joke.

 

[Carmine]

True, it is most likely really the scout update, but valve is just the kind of company to pull something like that.

Wait, are you saying that this whole thing is an elaborate lie and put off from the real update? I'm sorry but I don't buy that...

 

[ToiletPastries]

I'm not saying so. Just reading what others have said. Think it's interesting points though.
