No new video then, probably.  We still have one more unlock and two more days of updates though.

new gamemode (two cart pl) and the scatter gun.

i said they would shunt us off with a community map.
no need for all this build up.

"ability to ascend rapidly (Soldiers, Demomen, and Scouts using the new scattergun unlockable )"

Confirmed, the new Scattergun will add a little push when you shoot

[/quote]the current one has knockback if you fire at point blank, I figured this was more along the lines of a triple jump ability but meh. The new shotty is going to be Force-A-Nature tho looks like

Actually, if this thing gives enough forceback when you shoot... I think I may be using the Sandman after all... touche valve... touche.

they better add proper multicore support, so I can finally get a high enough FPS to snipe well.

"blah blah blah modifications, to exploit fixes."

jesus christ any % chance to dodge bullets is incredibly retarded. i land a direct shotgun on a scout. now lets roll the dice to see if i hit him!

isnt the entire point of a fps to be skill based rather than an rpg where its half chance?

It's not half chance, he's guarunteed to be unhit.


Oh well. Doesn't really matter that much.

[Radio Raheem]

still the point stands. dont make him unhitable just make him hard to hit. give him triple speed or whatever. if i rocket him in the face i deserve that hit.

[Loqutus]

The only way valve is going to save this whole thing is if Scout can't shoot while under Bonk's influence. But I don't think that's going to happen :/

[Radio Raheem]

he could still do his invunerable run past your entire team and make atleast your scouts fall back to cover backcaps effectively leaving you a man down (2 chase 1 to be sure if he backcaps you lose) and killing your push. yay?

[backfire]

Anyways, here's my theory on the Force-of-Nature. It's pushes people back when you shoot them sorta like the pyro's airblast. It either gives backblast forcing you the opposite direction you fired with everyshot or only shots facing the ground.  To offset this, I'm guessing it has less ammo per clip. Probably 2 or 4. 

If this does work the way I think, then I'd be glad to give up a potential third-jump for a double jump + stunning baseball.  Infact, it probably will require quite a lot of skill to jump once, look in the opposite direction of where you want to go, shoot, then look back and still be orientated. It's a good weapon that the inexperienced can use and the experienced can use much more effectivly fulfilling a goal Valve set...  Reittering, touché valve, touché.

Damn you week-end. Why must you stop everything I care about. >

[Radio Raheem]

rocket jumps work that way and they arent disorienting in the least if you just flick jump

Well remember the cooldown from after using it makes the Scout super slow as well, so if they aren't in a safe spot after using it, they're pretty much dead.  Also I would figure rockets still work, it'd be stupid if it made the Scout fully invincible AND immune to any kind of knockback.

Still if you can pick up intel in this mode, it will functionally ruin Mach 4.
