Countdown to the Scout update: http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/index.php

I've been looking forward to this for some time. This includes the scout's new weapons, the new payload map, and of course the new game mode.

I saw The Sandman coming from a mile away, and it looks fairly promising, but probably very annoying for the recipient. We'll see how it looks the first day the update comes out, with baseballs flying everywhere.

I'm hoping the gamemode is The Hunted. I really wanted this to come out, and I still am. Payload is nothing compared to Hunted, and it's no replacement.

Excited to see what's in store for the next couple of days. Thoughts?

(Also, I have been meaning to make an update to my TF2 map I showed a little bit about earlier this year. It's come a long ways and I'm getting anxious to show some media. After I finish this particular area you'll see what's up.)

It's a shame that my video card is dead, so I can't play anything. I would love to try that out when it is available.

I actually want to marry Valve, if only for their hillarious descriptions of everything TF2-related.

And get that media!

Nice. If the hunted is'nt the next gametype, It should at least be something as fun. I love the original 'Hunted' map for TFC.

Here's hoping it is hunted mode.

Sandman looks pretty fun. I hope whatever they replace his scattergun with isn't basically the same thing with a new shell and slightly different stats. I hate that gun. >:(

Wonder what they mean by disabling double-jumping with the sandman equipped. Will doublejumps be disabled on all other weapons once you've equipped it?

I hope it only means when you have it equipped.

Oh! Replace the scattergun or pistol; the original Nailgun. That thing was nice, and It would fit TF2's theme better than TFC's.

Thats what I was thinking as a suitable replacement for the scatter gun.

Do you guys think nails could pin people to walls?

A kind of nailgun sounds plausible, as they will obviously want to give the scout a chance a medium range combat as well. It should end up similar to the needlegun, provided they're doing it in the first place.

Double jumping will be disabled if you're carrying the Sandman, according to the site, so I bet that double jumping will be universally disabled if you have the weapon equipped.

Yah, it would be pretty stupid to just change weapons to the scatter gun and go blow them away while double jumping the whole time.

Is there any way to keep journal posts bumped? It would be nice to keep this up as long as the updates are coming out.

Maybe make the post date next Tuesday, so any new post will just fall behind it? Or is that not now the latest journal post column works?

You should have made a thread if you wanted that
