Scout Update Info

Recommended Posts

I voted for the scattergun. Or at least I would have if it would let me sign in. For some reason, it never recognizes my ID when I sign in anywhere but Steam.

Just wanted to say I waited 3 whole hours on Tuesday, and still no update. When it says coming Tuesday, you'd think it would be Tuesday! It's now 3am, almost Wednesday, and I'm going to bed. night

You mean VST. Valve Standard Time. Also, I kinda liked the Force A Nature.

Been following this thread, since I always like TF2 updates.

Haha, if this is the Spy update get ready to bring out those flamethrowers. It might actually be better not to go spy because you will be spy checked around every corner.

I heard someone on one of your servers say that the Engie and Spy updates should be simultaneous. I agree with this--That way not everyone will want to go pyro since they'll be too engrossed with the dual updates. Also, the overbalance of engies would be compensated by the spies. The spies and engies could both get achievements at the same time.

It would also make sense because both engie and spy classes have gadgets--it could be released as a sort of "TF Industries hardware update" to all the brave engies and spies under the guard of Announcer.

Whaddaya guys think?

Spy roles may be lowered by the FaN's synergy with Bonk! Imagine Bonk!ing yourself through sentry bullets, level three or not (rockets are easy to dodge), then using FoN to blow the engineer away from his sentry. At this point, the sentry is targeting you, so your teammates can come in without fear and take it down swiftly.

Most people don't rely on spies to sap anyway. Actually half the time they don't even KNOW the sentry's been sapped even if the spy announces that it has, because they're fucking NOOBS.

Yeah, sap-spamming barely ever works. I did it once on offense, Dustbowl Cap 2, just before an uber charged in. I'm screaming at people to charge, because they can't get out from behind their sentries fast enough, and I had almost all the guns down and was capping the point before they finally came in. I was like, "What the fucking fuck? Why didn't you go when I was screaming at you?"

Then we get it, and they're all like, "Great job, whoever sapped those sentries!"

My mic was off. -.-

Great story there :D

I have my own: There was one team I played on that was awesome (Lotus Clan servers, of course). They actually listened every time I went in to sap. I'd say, "I'm going in to sap in 20 seconds" ... then they'd get ready and as soon as I sapped they'd blow the sentry away. We rocked for a good set of stages.... Then it went to offense and the team couldn't hold out for more than 3 minutes...

It's the day! I'm so excited :D

Yes indeed... I usually don't play much scout but I think I'll give it a little whirl. I am expecting some epic battles, especially on CP maps where, given some good timing and NOT just blindly rushing, the scouts could win a match in a few seconds...

The scout page took a temporary trip back in time:

Perhaps they won't release the update today? Now that would be funny.
