And it's out. A double-barrelled shotgun that pushes you around if you fire it while jumping, meaning that you can apparently still double jump with the Sandman, so long as you use this thing as well. Looks like the knockback applies to the target if you hit them, as well, so I expect to see many 'quad jumping' videos of Scouts double jumping, firing this thing, and then getting hit by an enemy Scout's Force Of Nature as well.

Oh well. Only speculation left now is what the name of the Double Payload map is, and who's the star of the next "Meet The..." video. All of us hoping that this update heralding the introduction of the updates to the Xbox version are out of luck, too.

I feel sad. I haven't managed to unlock any TF2 weapons... I want my backburner...

[Dasleah]

I have to admit, this is the first class update I've been bothered enough to follow 'live' and it's all rather underwhelming. Perhaps my impressions are simply marred by being foolish enough to browse the Steam forums at the same time...

Ugh.

[Sowelu]

Man, what the hell are you doing on the Steam forums?!

SHOTGUN!  THAT IS AWESOME!

[beorn080]

Maybe the kick applies to allied units as well. Imagine, your a sniper, you see a couple of enemy scouts and heavy group together as high as the heavy can get, you start to take aim, the heavy jumps and the half dozen scouts send him flying in a kamikaze course straight for you. Now that would be a video worth shooting.

[SHAD0Wdump]

And then you'd get the guy who keeps shooting their own team-mates back into the spawn.

I really doubt the kickback is gonna effect allies.

If we ignore the medic gun for a moment....

TF2 equals no FF and also no FF effects. Apart from yourself. You can rocket/grenade jump, but you cannot rocket/grenade jump your buddy.

edit: well, i suppose you can turn it on in the server settings, but it's not really meant to be working that way...

I discovered an interesting turn of events with the flare gun recently.

If you are at about moderate to long range and hit a guy with the flare, he will usually RUN AWAY. To go heal and get rid of the fire is my guess. If you could use this to your advantage, it could come in handy...

Double jump, aim down, shoot, go even higher.

And the last update is up! And... it's not updating anything! That's right, the final update for the Scout page, that has been teasing us for nearly a week, is nothing more than an announcement of the poll results for unlockables (with Force-a-Nature coming in first, then Sandman, then Bonk!). Well, TF2 is half-price until Friday, but that's it - no Double Payload maps, no Meet The... video, nutink.

Oh well. Maybe now you PC TF2 players can feel the bitter sting of disappointment that we console players feel 

[Soulwynd]

Why would I be disappointed?

That's rather common.

I do hope that statement was meant to be painfully ironic.  It's about time console gamers got some of the disappointment.  I felt bad for them with PC gamers holding it all for themselves.

[ToonyMan]

Nah, I played enough TF2 yesterday.  I'll sit this one out.

[Sowelu]

Man, I would be all over this with a heavy if I wasn't working on a game

[ToonyMan]

The Sandman is the best Uber Remover(tm) ever.




EVER.  Just hit the medic.  It's gone.
