Yah, I'm not sure why they're still pushing that. And not even sure why people are mapping for it. It's such as waste of time.
I saw a few thumbnail pictures, but can't really give a bigger opinion on the maps as they website is loading very slow.
EDIT: Finally saw the screenshots. Don't get me wrong, they're gorgeous maps, but I'll probably never play them.

I'm one of the few people who really doesn't mind Arena, but I don't play TF2 much at all now. I'll probably check out this update for a week or two then go back to not playing it.

I thought this was interesting. I realize people found exploits, but was it that severe?
EDIT: I just found out what the exploit actually was. Apparently using the loadout screen, people could use other class' weapons with any other class. Sounds hilarious.

Looks like outrunning sentry guns will be fun.
And the background shows a new map. Might be a new gamemode where you race to see who can get the cart to an objective first. We'll see.

Hah, giggled at the fine print for the drink and can design. "NOW WITH ISOTOPES!" 
Anyway, sounds like a bang-on unlockable. Outrunning bullets should be a blast. The after-effect(see fine print), which slows you down sounds fair too.
Achievements look alright as well.

I have to say, I'm sort of disappointed that there is no "Battin' a-thousand" achievement.

Looking carefully at that background map it kinda looks like a dual payload map. And that energy drink is pretty awesome.
EDIT: Luke beat me to the map thing. Darn.

I'm hoping dual-payload isn't the new gamemode, that's just slightly adjusting an old one. >.>
Still a pretty cool concept.

Expected, since it's what they've done with every other 'main' gun. Still lame though, bloody Scattergun.

I've been seeing things that it's a double barreled shotgun. It either has blastback damage, or it just pushes you back.
I think this is their attempt at replacing the double jump. Instead of completely losing it, you might just have to fire into the ground and get a little damage.
We'll see, though. This isn't proven yet.

How to achieve the achievements are out: http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm
Also lets us know the next unlock is called "Force-A-Nature", and has some sort of kickback.
It also hints that it acts like the pyro compression blast when fired, so it may be promising.

Post #263051
I hear that Egypt has been requested a lot, but I've never played it myself.
If there's a new game mode coming, as well as the Scattergun unlock, that doesn't leave any more days left for a new "Meet the" video

We already knew there was no Meet the Team video, as they never said there was going to be.
Very disappointed with the new map, cp_Egypt. I've played it several times, and each time I hate it. Valve needs to get their heads outta their asses and start adding stuff that is good.
They can only make up with this by adding Hunted.

Talked to one of my friends in school today, an avid TF2 fan, he was discussing how the new game mode will probably be a payload race type thing, that he already played through some custom maps. He said it was "pretty gay"
I told him I wanted the new game mode to be hunted. He didn't know what hunted was.
I tore him out of the Halo universe and dropped him in the Half-life one too late! He never played TFC!
Watch, the new gamemode will be this retarded payload race. Someone please go slap someone at valve on the head.

valve already said the new game mode would be 'completely different' so it won't be the dual payload thing. stop bitching about things you don't know.

Ok, so they don't say that. Just me. More people should.

It's probably just a way to extend the "update hype". Get it over 8 days instead of 6.

lol, that would be fucking great. Fake an entire update for another class and then the spy gets updated!
Too bad that's not what's going on. Everyone knows the Spy NEVER impersonates a Scout.

Force-A-Nature has potential, but I'm really iffy.
It sounds like a scattergun combined with a compression blast, aka really annoying.
Also, looks like the new Payload map and gamemode is one in the same. No Hunted for us
I also kinda like the voting thing. I voted for Force-A-Nature, just because it has the most potential for getting more achievements.

So now the Scout can unlock a bat and shotgun to replace his bat and shotgun? Nifty.

I like the sound of this gun. I've always thought TF2 needed more outrageous flying deaths.

They actually cracked a Shamwow joke on the update page.
"made in Portugal"
Awesome.
Also, the "buy it now!" picture is a clickable link to a new shirt.

I actually had to watch the Meet the Scout video again after reading what the shirt meant. It's too awesome.
And that's what I thought, too, Strider. I don't think they would push such a large update to one day, though.

Anyone else worried that Valve might be stretching themselves thin? These updates are low in content, L4D was low in content...
Hopefully this means they are hard at work on more important projects.
