Right, so Valve have finally begun revealing their next class update. As you may already know, it's the Scout's turn to get unlockable weapons. Well, the first one have already made it's appearance: The Sandman.

The Scout Update

That bat will never get used. Double jump is too useful to ditch.

And when your team scout stuns the ever-loving crap out of the ubered Heavy tearing through the defenses at your last capture point?

I'd think it might get used a bit if the scouts don't want to doublejump over everything in 2Fort.

Sounds like they want taunting affecting gameplay.

I really don't think its going to be easy to aim that bat, making it hard to use when a heavy is unloading and probably in your general direction too.

I like how Valve released the update minutes after Obama's speech was finished (It was live), then disappoint by not releasing another "Meet the" video.

Oi, there is going to be a new game mode coming along with the scout update.


i r happy

No matter what new gametypes there are I will always love CTF more.

Apparently no new game mode has appeared with the update.


I cried.

Awful update, nothing interesting, sloppily done, it was pretty sad to see it.

The unlocks are ok though.
FoN is good vs everything except Soldiers and Heavies
the bat is fun.
The drink is shit, havent found a good use, the main issues are: Massive slowdown, Bullet knockback is still there, so turrets still stop you in your tracks

You've got to be kidding me about that one. They are the likeliest candidates to die of falling off due to the knockback. And any rocket jumping soldiers will be sent higher, leaving increased fall damage.

And FAN provides a third jump.

Doesnt matter what the FON counters, everyone knows that the bat kills all.
