Scout update "week"

[unknown]

"Only time...will tell!"

[Adder]

I'm assuming the "First Blood" crit buff applies to whoever gets first blood in an arena match, and the acheivement for it isn't 5 kills with one first blood buff, just 5 total.

[Hell-met]

I'm assuming the achievement references the normal crit bonus you get off simply killing someone.

[getthere1tme]

aww

[unknown]

the scout update page has not worked for the past 5 days for me, it's kinda pissing me off having to read on the steam forums about it...

[Adder]

By the way, if you look in the background of the energy drink page, there are two cart tracks and a red and blue cart, can you say DUAL PAYLOAD MAP HELLZ YEAH!!

[Adder]

For Unknown because I'm feeling like a nice guy.

1. The Sandman

You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way. The farther the ball flies before ricocheting offa some chucklehead's skull, the longer he's gonna be stunned. And guys who think they're tough because they're invulnerable? It works on them too. Now the bad news: You can't double jump when you're carrying this little beauty. On the other hand, double jumping never put anybody in a coma.

A. Hit a guy with the ball to stun him. The farther the ball travels, the longer he’s gonna be out.

B. Now laugh at the guy because he ain’t doin’ nothin for a while but gettin’ beat on

C. Get in there and take some cheap shots! You deserve it. So does he. Batter SWING!


2. Arena_Watchtower + CP_Junction


Arena_Watchtower
created by Joshua ‘JoshuaC’ Shiflet

An Arena map that plays unlike any of Valve’s Arena maps, with a heavy focus on vertical space and long, open sight lines. Control of the central building is a key decision that teams must wrestle over. More Sniper friendly than most Arena maps, it’s a perfect complement to the Scout update. Batter up!


CP_Junction
created by Sean ‘Heyo’ Cutino

A Gravel-Pit style map that the community has been heckling us to include for months. Junction is a sharp contrast to Watchtower. It’s full of tight spaces and short sight lines, which create combat opportunities dominated by ambushes and explosive weaponry.



3. Energy Drink+Achievements

'Bonk' Energy Drink
I am a frickin' blur here!

Runnin’ rings around all them molasses-slow dummies out there on the battle- field is thirsty frickin’ work. But when it comes to quenchin’ that thirst, only one thermonuclear thirst detonator packs all the “Atomic Punch” you’ll ever need. Bonk! is fulla radiation, which as we all know is pretty great for givin’ people superpowers. 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!



Note: Bonk! contains several hundred times the daily recommended allowance of sugar. After the beneficial effects of the radiation wear off, drinkers have reported experiencing feelings of lethargy that can last several seconds. Reading this sentence absolves Bonk! of any liability for killing sprees inspired by or deaths resulting from the ingestion of Bonk! Enjoy Bonk! responsibly… Or by the case!

4. CP_Egypt + CP_Fastlane Update


CP_Egypt
created by Sean ‘Heyo’ Cutino

A Dustbowl-style control point map, Egypt is visually striking, full of great combat spaces, and features some really interesting uses of vertical space. Classes with the ability to ascend rapidly (Soldiers, Demomen, and Scouts using the new scattergun unlockable ) have lots of options for traversing the arenas. In addition, the ruins provide Engineers with a large number of potential sentrygun locations.


CP_Fastlane Update

Fastlane is an update to one of the first community maps we shipped. This release features a wide variety of changes, from spawn and capture timer tweaks, to geometry and art modifications, to exploit fixes.

He said he couldn't view the page so I pasted it so he could read all of the witty humor valve comes up with.

[Drunken F00l]

Ya, Hell-met is just a jackass. Pay no attention.
