Scoot Update

[AAsama]

Lets keep all relevant shit about the scoot update here, so we dont split it between the two general threads all up ins. We can do this, we have the SECTION/TECHNOLOGY.

The Page (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate)

Melee Replacement: The Sandman (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/sandman.htm)
New maps: Watchtower and Junction (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm)
Pistol replacement: Bonk! Energy drink!
Achievments

[AAsama]

In before smokebombs as pistol replacement.

[Affinity]

In before new game mode.

[AAsama]

Like what? VIP? Survival? INSTAGIB?

[Shunt]

Probably a new map or two as well.

[AAsama]

And meet the medic?

[Axon Griegor]

Or Meet the Pyro?

[AAsama]

I heard they were working on Meet the Medic long time ago, but then Meet the Sniper came out instead.

Heard, as in got an answer from Gabe saying they were working on Meet the Medic.

[Affinity]

Like what? VIP? Survival? INSTAGIB?

Ghostbusters. Duh.

[AAsama]

we should get royalties.

[Affinity]

we should get royalties.

I'm thinking a flamethrower for scout as our thanks. ;3

[AAsama]

Exclusive to the mang server, ofcourse.

[Affinity]

Nah, Steam account specific, so we can go to others server and make people rage at super fast double jumping pyros.

[Skee]

Scoot will get his nailgun

there is no doubt about this in my mind

[AAsama]

Suppose it would make sense.

[Skee]

Lower damage to people higher damage to engineers shit

As a trade off the pistol should be nerfed against mechanicals though

[Gado]

scoot should get a scattergun that shoots sappers that don't do damage : O

[AAsama]

Woah there, not gonna happen anymore.
Seems too drastic for valve.

[Skee]

I dont get why you'd ever use that stun bat

I suppose it's valve trying to make scoot more of a defensive option, but losing doublejump = useless on steel B|

[Affinity]

Then use it on every other map lol.

[Далтон]

I dont get why you'd ever use that stun bat

I suppose it's valve trying to make scoot more of a defensive option, but losing doublejump = useless on steel B|

It's situational as hell, like I wouldn't use it on Steel, but dustbawls is a definite sandman situation for me.

Also it's been officially announced that they have a new payload map for us, a new gamemode, and if memory serves more community maps and more alpine theming.

Also I wouldn't mind the nailgun at all. It's easy to see why they'd remove it in favour of the scattergun, but with the class updates it seems highly plausible.

[Skee]

new payload map is cranetop :awesome:

[AAsama]

No way :awesome:
No forward spawnpoints.

[Skee]

Cranetop_v2 :awesome:

[Далтон]

As for the Sandman, not entirely sure if it's a good tradeoff, but hopefully Valve's done a good job.

Certainly an interesting way to include a conc-style effect without WHOOOOAAAAAA FLYING SCOOTS

[beer pope]

scoot should get a scattergun that shoots sappers that don't do damage : OIt would be pretty retarded to give a class a way to beat its hard counter.

[Далтон]

It would be pretty retarded to give a class a way to beat its hard counter.

thank you that was the joke

[Gado]

It would be pretty retarded to give a class a way to beat its hard counter.

you lose one points

also fuk da police I just want my new game mode

[AAsama]

Yes, but what game mode?

[Bromang]

Deathmatch

[PaintedBlackCloud]

Oh boy this is gonna be saweet.

[Gado]

escort mode please

[Bromang]

escort mode please

Payload. The escort mode from TFC sucked really fucking hard.
It was shit easy to kill the civilian.

[AAsama]

Zombie-mode

[Bromang]

Merge L4D and TF2. Oh god yes, scatter gun on zombies.

[Gado]

Zombie-mode

oh shit this this this

[Skee]

Nacht Der Untoten plz

[AAsama]

Left-9-Dead, you heard it here first.

[Gado]

need a pipe bomb here

[AAsama]

Ghrabbing peels, dumkoffs

[Exalt]

You guys is crazy

[MayuZane]

You guys is crazy

Old news.

[Affinity]

Left-9-Dead, you heard it here first.

Team 4-tress.

[AAsama]

Team 4-tress.

Sold.

[Далтон]

I head that the guy from SA who predicted the Heavy's minigun unlock before it was revealed posted again. He claims that today the new gamemode, a heavily revised version of Hunted, will be revealed, and it will include both the Civilian and a third team.

I diagnose 50 CCs of this (http://i42.tinypic.com/ae2kc5.jpg) to be taken with this post, especially since payload was made to replace Hunted, but it is still interesting nonetheless.

[Johnny]

Please let him be right oh GOD PLEASE

[Далтон]

Please let him be right oh GOD PLEASE

I honestly wouldn't mind it myself; even if it's unbalanced as hell, it is downright high-larious fun.

[Kash]

VIP is awesome, also I don't think the Scout's main gun will be Nail gun, wasn't that what they were originally going to give him, but found it didn't suit him?

[Skee]

Pistol replacement.

The nailguns model has been left in the game since beta, as have the sticky gibs and one of the flaregun designs, it just seems a logical step

[Johnny]

Well the next bit of info is going to be revealed today so lets wait and find out

[AAsama]

Cant Wait Any Longer. I Want Valve Time

[Sanjiyan]

I'd like Hunted, just to see Green or Yellow put in an appearance
I wonder what their team acronyms would be

[burningzombie]

Pistol replacement.

The nailguns model has been left in the game since beta, as have the sticky gibs and one of the flaregun designs, it just seems a logical step

And if you look at the dispenser real close, you can see nail gun ammo in there.

[Loy]

No double jump...

NO DOUBLE JUMP?!


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU

[AAsama]

Its out!

New maps (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm)

Edit:

yeah, we JUST added watchtower. Seems even valve agrees that its a good arena map.

[Далтон]

>Arena_Watchtower

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkbq18u9sxw&fmt=18

[Gado]

I waited all day for a map we already just added and another map I don't care about where is my SCOOT BONKSCATTER

[AAsama]

Well atleast we got the most boring update out of the way.
Only good things to wait for now.

[Gado]

I can't wait any longer, lives are on the fuckin' line

[Далтон]

Well atleast we got the most boring update out of the way.

Yup!

Could almost guarantee it's gonna go out like this:

1: Melee weapon (derp done)
2: Community Maps (derp)
3: Primary OR Secondary weapon Sidegrade
4: "Meet the" Video, the new Payload map
5: Whichever weapon is left
6: The new gameplay vidya

Achievements could be stuck anywhere into there but yeah the dullest update has certainly passed.

[AAsama]

Arena

stop pushing this shit on us you faggots

[Taxi]

Gotta say I'm glad we get another Arena map. I love arena, it's a good fun break from the constant point capturing.

[Exalt]

If only arena maps lasted 15 minutes instead of the normal 30, then I would actually like it.

[Affinity]

This would be nice. I kind of imagined the admins would have these powers too.

[Vaah]

May or may not be a shop. (http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u79/halensheetrock/scoutupdatescopyky8.jpg)

[Shunt]

Junction looks killar.

[Sanjiyan]

It isn't a shop Vooh :V

[Gado]

what makes me a good medic

also wat

[Narok]

Scattergun replacement should be a gun that fires homing bullets that always hit their target and always crit and act as sappers if they hit a building, except they can't be removed by any means and if an engineer is standing too close to his sentry when it breaks it'll explode and kill him instantly and make him skip a wave of respawns.

The trade-off: the Scout becomes completely and totally immobile while wielding it. And he can't unequip it. And he can't change classes. He's stuck as an immobile scout for all eternity.

teehee

[Bromang]

I looked around yesterday and had a guess that hunted was the new game mode when I checked valves how to make tf2 maps wiki.

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/TF2/Hunted_Gametype

But even here it says it's kind of unbalanced. Heck I don't know. As I said earlier. The escort mode in TFC wasn't that much liked.

[Sanjiyan]

Yeah Hunted was just constant dickery
that's kind of why I want to play it

In before Crabvilian

[The Ultimate Doughnut]

constant dickery


http://i42.tinypic.com/2prxnom.jpg

[Gado]

I am kinda disappointed if the civilian is just a blu engineer, fuk dat shit.

[The Ultimate Doughnut]

[Bromang]

If it is hunted i am curious how it'll be in TF2 though so I guess I am excited for it.

[Gado]

*pop*

rage dot jay peg

[AAsama]

Fuck it, if ZOMBIE-MODO isnt the new gamemode(which it probably isnt), im gonna MAKE/PAY someone to make a new game mode for l4d. A mode where the four survivors are replaced with a random character from TF2 with all weapons and sounds and such.

[Skee]

Told you he'd get his nailgun

...if that isn't a shop <..<

[AAsama]

We will be one step closer to the truth of this...shop... tonight.

[Gado]

nailguns are for GAYS

[AAsama]

Are you sure?

[Gado]

yes I have spent hundreds of hours researching this

[AAsama]

My god....
This must not leave this section of the forum, widespread panic would ensue.

What are our options?

[Sanjiyan]

Iunno.

Bees?

[Gado]

I've done a horrible thing, and it feels good.

[AAsama]

We will deal with you later.
Right now we are waiting for Valve time for confirmation.

[Vaah]

Releasing Beeman now.

I'm not asian?

[Bromang]

NEXT GUN IS BEE GUN. It's a machine gun that shoots bees and if the bees hit they will swarm the enemy causing continuous damage for 10 seconds.

You heard it here first.

[Далтон]

I would think that image is a shop seeing as I can't figure out how they'd even GET a full image. Then again they had to test and make sure the image looked good before making it all COMING WEDNESDAY COMING THURSDAY etc.

We'll find out whether or not it's a shop today, in which case FORK YEAR HUNTED AND NAILGUN.

Seriously hunted reminds me of versus in L4D because you're hardly even meant to finish the level as much as you all just compare on how far you each got and laugh at the silly fun and paranoia along the way.

[Далтон]

also look at the background

PAYLOAD RACE CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL

[AAsama]

Oh shit, new gamemode.

[Далтон]

Payload race could bring Balloon Race to all new extremes

[Axon Griegor]

Oh shit, new gamemode.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And about the energy drink, I heard about that idea some time ago in the tf2 forums.

I like the name of 2 achievements: First Blood and First Blood, part two.

[AAsama]

I wonder, will Bonk! be the scout's backburner?
"Bonk! SKILLdrink morelike lololol" perhaps?

[Далтон]

more like useless

I see very little use on offence or defence, especially if that "lethargy/fatigue" they were hinting at in the side effects is true. I could see it being used in dustbowl to make it to the second point immediately after the first point is captured, and in defence on like gravelpit for annoying the shit out of a heavy, but that's it really.

But the true question is: Payload Race. New gamemode? Or rather being considered as the new Payload map?

[Axon Griegor]

Payload race I think.

[Далтон]

Cavil says:
I bet they put that in there just to keep people from raging TOO hard
Micolithe! says:
ahahaha yeah
Micolithe! says:
oh well heres a thing that makes the fastest class in the game go faster but without the pistol HOWEVER heres a cool game mode so you dont kill us

Haha I find the thread of the Energy drink:

[Taxi]

Oh god,energy drink. That's awesome!
I don't understand the rage about it, not much of a difference between this and the sandvich, other than this one giving you more speed. It's useful and pretty funny :)

[Micolithe]

I can't think of any situations where faster running speed would be better than the loss of an accurate weapon except for the things already mentioned.

[AAsama]

faster running speed and bullet dodging?
getting away from heavies? closing in on snipers? slipping past sentry-farms?

[Taxi]

No no Aasama, there are NO good things about this, for some reason.

Every thought of 2Fort, where the annoying sentry guns are in the battlements area and you can't pass it without dying. That's when you need it.

My question is will it be able to dodge melle attacks and the flamethrower?

[Unggoy]

How long does BONK! last before it wears off?

[Axon Griegor]

http://i40.tinypic.com/24o0mf7.jpg

New weapon?

[Далтон]

I doubt the energy drink actually makes you invincible to bullets, but rather makes it harder for them to hit you.

If it's like a temporary uber than LOL ENJOY YOUR OVERPOWERED

[Micolithe]

Okay lets say you use Bonk and then you're gonna try and take out a sentry.

So you run fast enough to avoid the bullets, however you're moving so fast how can you possibly aim with enough accuracy to hit the sentry?

[Далтон]

Well there is the MISS MISS MISS like crit messages. I think its like the Sandman with a possibly huge bonus with a possibly huge draw back (you could be moving as slow as the heavy after it wears off).

Also that looks like a breach load shotgun, possible it has the firing rate of the sniper rifle but does a lot more damage? These new weapons seem to make the scout more of a glass cannon, or better yet a lighting bolt: one brilliant powerful flash and then nothing.

[Micolithe]

Oh god I just thought of something. I wonder how many people are preparing a "zoom zoom zoom" micspam (like from those mazda commercials) for when the update hits. I shudder to think.

[ChopperDave]

If I didn't think of it someone else would have. And you know what, better ChopperDave than someone else.

[HotPuppy]

More like, zoom zoom from Bolt.

[Далтон]

Well there is the MISS MISS MISS like crit messages. I think its like the Sandman with a possibly huge bonus with a possibly huge draw back (you could be moving as slow as the heavy after it wears off).

They could've just put that there as means of getting the point across.

[MayuZane]

If using that drink automatically makes you immune to bullets I'll definitely use it to bypass sentries/heavies.

[Далтон]

At any rate, so far I feel pretty unsure about the update, but then again I felt unsure at all of the Heavy's weapons but now I love them so yeah.

also retards are speculating the energy drink will be an alt-fire for the main scattergun due to the scattergun being equipped in that screenshot, while the alt scattergun won't have it a la backburner

Well think about it. A lot of achievements are like "Get three ______ while using the ________" and it might reveal details of the new scatterbutt before desired

Come on scatterbonker...*crosses fingers*

[Victoly]

Come on scatterbonker...*crosses fingers*

Fuck dat, nailgun beats that shit.

[Johnny]

Probably a few seconds or infinitely. Frankly, I think getting juiced up and being able to personally beat the shit out of Gado with my bat will be worth the loss of a pistol if for on the fact that I finally get to rub that smile off his gay nigga face. >: (

[klein]

Just imagine 10 scouts out of the gate, all hyped up on bonk. Dear god, sentries will fail, heavies will be bonked, and nothing can stop the horror that is the scatterbonk. Then the after effects kick in and everyone dies. I am thinking it will be like the sandvich where it can be used an unlimited number of times, but still have its drawbacks.

[Johnny]

The sandvich has no drawbacks other than it takes 3 seconds to eat.

[klein]

That and losing the shotgun, which from my play style isn't very vital. Well all we can do is wait I guess. Fuck ya racing payload, I wonder how this will play out.

[Vaah]

Just imagine 10 scouts out of the gate, all hyped up on bonk. Dear god, sentries will fail, heavies will be bonked, and nothing can stop the horror that is the scatterbonk. Then the after effects kick in and everyone dies. I am thinking it will be like the sandvich where it can be used an unlimited number of times, but still have its drawbacks.

Then when the bonk wears off, it's like shooting scoots in a barrel.

[The Bear Burrito]

Great update or greatest update?

[Loy]

Okay, this energy drink idea is awesome.

Can you say "up yours, natachsa heavy"? I can say "up yours, natachsa heavy"

Also circlestrafing sentries will now be godly easy to any half decent scout Mico. And the pistol is mainly used for killing snipers, scouts, and sentries anyway. The energy drink will make all those easier for a short amount of time. Assuming the slowdown isn't too bad, You'll probably see me running around with one of these on hand constantly.

Plus, assuming either hitting the baseball or using the energy drink is instantanious, this will actually make the sandman useful. The increased speed will still allow you to jump long distances, so losing the double jump will no longer be TOO detrimental. I can see stun then rush happening a LOT. I am now re-excited for this update.

[Shunt]

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/917/firstbloodby2.png (http://imageshack.us)

Also if that list of achievement descriptions floating around is accurate then scattergun replacement kicks ass. And the cola's not too bad I guess.

It's an uber in a can, with speedboost.

It's an uber in a can, with speedboost.

this is stupid

why do I keep hearing people talk about it as if it's going to actually make you invincible awawawawa

also fuck you johnny I'm going to drink twice as much of this shit as you are

[Skee]

Energy drink is a horrible idea, it would just crumble a defense if you had a few scouts, UNLESS it just gives a chance to miss, which is oh ok

[Gado]

I'm under the impression that it just gives the scoot a ZOOM ZOOM boost for a while.

[AAsama]

ZOOM ZOOM with a chance to outsmart boolet.

[Gado]

ZOOM ZOOM with a chance to outsmart boolet.

Doing circles around these unbalance thirsty. And to quench this thirst nothing like a bumper to Bonk! Thermonuclear drink! It's full of radiation which is rather good, as everyone knows, to give super powers. A small bobbin you a few seconds to nuclear energy as if the enemy bullets do not exist.

teehee

[Skee]

To counteract this menice pyros should be able to use all their poof at once and completely blow away everything on the map

<:3c

[Candin]

Energy drink is a horrible idea, it would just crumble a defense if you had a few scouts, UNLESS it just gives a chance to miss, which is oh ok

I think it sounds pretty balanced. A few seconds of blissful speedboost/ invulnerability to bullets followed by painful slowdown making the scoot a giant "HEY HIT ME" sign.

You say this like the Pyro is a good class.

am i

am I raging again

also that reminds me of this idea I had. Heavies should be able to stack double crit effects like the KGB, Kritzkrieg, and the instant criticals you get when you win a round, whenever he has 2 or more of those affecting him at once, whenever he punches someone it should have an explosion like the end of a payload map that kills everyone near him, red or blu.

[Skee]

I think it sounds pretty balanced. A few seconds of blissful speedboost/ invulnerability to bullets followed by painful slowdown making the scoot a giant "HEY HIT ME" sign.

Consider how much damage the scootergan does, it would be lethal to allow a scoot to run amok in such a way D:

You say this like the Pyro is a good class.
You say that like you ever play when I'm playing Pyro ;3

[Gado]

also while the heavy is under super double crits he should have a .1 percent chance of getting a critical hit and if he does and hits with it his team wins

[Psychosis]

I'm guessing it does make you immune to bullets, but NOT explosions and fire.

So, yeah, you can run past Sentries and heavies, but I doubt you could bat a Sentry to death before it blows you up with missles.

[Skee]

BLU_SCOUT used quick attack!

It's super effective!

RED_TEAM fainted!

SKEE blacked out!

[PaintedBlackCloud]

I really want to play again.

[Loy]

you guys.

Just one can’ll blast ya into a few-second rush of radioactive energy so powerful you’ll be dodgin’ bullets like they ain’t even there!

Pretty sure it's JUST a speed boost. anything else is overpoweredly retarded. I'm pretty sure the miss thing was just put there to show "hey he's avoiding bullets" in a still frame.

As a matter of fact if he does become immune to bullets scouts will become completely ineffective against other scouts. wat


EDIT: oh god bonk an eating heavy

They wouldn't put it in unless it meant something.

[Далтон]

Am I the only one who thinks the PL_Race will be the new payload map and not the game mode? Still kinda hoping for hunted =<

Anyways I thought the invulnerability theory was pretty stupid at first, then some Russian fansite supposedly got the leaked achievement info.

Artful Dodger - Get 1000 "missed" damage during 1 life

I know this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but still, that means it's...

it's...

possible.

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6109/s4yj2bkqa5eqgznrl2hisu6mj5.jpg

However, if these leaked achievements are actually true, some interesting things:

Beanball - Stun scout with his own ball
BASEBALL, HOOOO!~
Quick Hook - kill an enemy on Well before the round starts
here's hoping blu gets the lamps that red does so blu scouts could actually get over the trains
Out of the Park - Bat the enemy so he flies 25 meters
Sandman = Knockback? D:
Pop Fly - Die because of double-barreled shotgun's recoil
Caught Napping - Kill 50 enemies by shooting them in the back with doublebarreled shotgun
in before scootburner that gets instacrits from behind and gives you a triple jump

oh god it's gonna happen isn't it

ISN'T IT?!

If the can of redballs energy drink gives you enough speed you might be able to make the well jump without any assisting geometry.

[Sanjiyan]

I don't get what the big deal is about the whole missing thing
oh shit he's really fast and hard to hit for like 5 seconds and then becomes slow as fuck for a while too, how terrible

tired scoots will be easy meat for everyone.

however if it's like a 5-second uber then haha enjoy your invincible speedy gonzales

[Loy]

So wait, that pop fly achievement.

Does that mean that the Scout's scattergun replacement will damage him every time he uses it, or it has immense recoil that knocks him back, which could cause you to die from fall damage?

Either way, that blows.


EDIT: haha, Scouts die so often they have an achievement for it.

guys can we add fastlane back to the rotation now

[Cheese]

Classes with the ability to ascend rapidly (Soldiers, Demomen, and Scouts using the new scattergun unlockable ) have lots of options for traversing the arenas.

:I

[Далтон]

hello already confirmed

[Skee]

guys can we add fastlane back to the rotation now

It's still poop but I guess we should at least PLAY it and see if the tweaks have worked

[Далтон]

I still don't understand why everyone hates fastlane; it's just like any other cp map: counter the scout rush and it's fine.

[Gado]

[HotPuppy]

- Has a cooldown time of 2 minutes

Oh wow, is having that long of a cooldown time even worth it if it is true? That would make a medic almost keep up with the scout.

[The Bear Burrito]

Oh wow, is having that long of a cooldown time even worth it if it is true? That would make a medic almost keep up with the scout.

I think when he says cooldown he means you can't use it again for 2 minutes.

[HotPuppy]

I think when he says cooldown he means you can't use it again for 2 minutes.

I am dumb and can't think.

Maybe you guys should live in a better time zone.

Alternate claim: Valve doesn't have to give a shit when they upload it.

I think they're having some pretty bad technical difficulties.

Sometimes, when I refresh, some of the links to the updates disappear.

[Далтон]
