TF2 Scout Update

[Lebzile]

Egypt map looks hella fun.

[edit]

Foul Territory: Cause an environmental death by stunning an enemy.


Ha, that sounds like a fun challenge.

What is "Force-A-Nature"? Did I miss that somewhere? New scatter gun maybe that they accidentally leaked?

Fall Classic: Cause an environmental death or suicide using the Force-A-Nature's knockback.

^that

[Correction]

Sounds like the air fist from the old quakeworld days.

Okay, so am I reading the new shotgot right in that, basically, you can jump, shoot, and then you'll be launched in the air to stupidly high heights? (Like demo stickies at the feet of a uber-medic team?) I can see the uses for, say, capping intelligence, but unless the spread is severely limited, it's crap.

Anyone happen to know what this is from? Doesn't really look fan made.

Spent the night working on Scout achievements, initial impressions:

Force-O-Nature: HOLY SHIT... This thing will nearly bring a heavy down from full health @ point blank. Extremely overpowered.

BONK! Energy Drink: Thought this was broken as well to start, but it prevents you from using weapons while it's in effect. Also, the slowdown afterward is bad enough. And what's up with the scout dodging everything, including pyro damage... >.<

The Sandman: The stun effect anywhere except point blank lasts long enough that it's near certain kill. Works vs. uber as well.

Achievements took around 5 hours of work to get 23 of them. The two environmental based achievements though are not working properly though (cause environmental death via a stun/via the Force-O-Nature). Out of the Park if your trying to figure it out is the taunt kill for scout (requires The Sandman).

Haven't tried any of the new maps yet, will work on those tomorrow.

Facestab issue is fixed, thank fucking god...
