Here are my reasons for saying so.
1. The URL for the scout update is different than the others. i.e. Pyro/Heavy/Goldrush were as follows: steamgames.com/tf2/pyro, /heavy, /goldrush, etc. This one is /scoutupdate.
2. Very slight difference in the TF2 logos, as seen here.
3. The Scout on the main update page is pathetically non anti-aliased. Compared to the other update pages, it looks like they drew it in Paint.
4. The Mr. Sandman model on the front page, if you look carefully, is a bat skin. The top of it still has that round top to it. And his hands clip the handle weird, like they do on the bat.
5. BONK! supposedly provides a speed increase, but they have not provided a %. In the Heavy update, they provided %'s regarding Natascha. Also, on the BONK! page, he's not actually HOLDING BONK!. Which furthers my theory that it's just a skinned 2fort can.
6. CP_Egypt is a horrible, horrible map that doesn't match TF2's style at all. And it sucks.
7. If you look at BONK!, it's one of those smashed bottles on 2Fort. But with a different logo. ANYONE can do that. Well, I can't. But skinners can.
8. The stunned effect doesn't follow TF2's style at all. Neither does Egypt. Also, they'll have to reanimate every class to have a stunned animation. And Valve likes to be as lazy as possible.
9. The Sandman page has two images of a baseball. They're the same image, just scaled and rotated. You'd assume baseballs would spin. Sorta like demo grenades. [ame="http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2prdac1&s=5"]Here's a video I found for proof.[/ame]
10. Sure, they did achievement icons. But everyone does those. Remember the fake spy update picture? Those are easy to just make up.
11. Why the hell would the Spy update disguise as the Scout update, you ask? Its slower speed would give it awa... wait a minute. This update was released six months after the last one...
In short, this is the Spy update in disguise. Which will be pretty damn epic, if they pull it off. And if they DO pull it off, I totally called it.
