Had a few good rounds this morning playing medic, led the team at one point as well for points. It was a welcome comeback after not playing the game for a really long time.

And on the scout update, am I reading this right? The sandman even effects ubercharged players?

Yes, but I'd reserve your judgments'till you've played it.

Never played junction, or that other map. Should be interesting.

I've played a little more of arena mode. Some funny crap can happen at the end of rounds. Like a Engy going up against a Soldier, and the engy gets some lucky crits. Or the Engy against a medic and pyro, and he gets a crit wrench on the medic and pyro. Yeeaaaah.

I played against a good scout player today. I did not enjoy it.

i'm having mixed feelings about the sandman thus far (i haven't played either of those two maps, but more maps can't be a bad thing right?).

It sounds pretty balanced with the no double jump and all, but it does seem a LITTLE bit OP, stunning even ubered players. i'm just curious to see if when you're stunned, you can't move/shoot or if you just can't move but can still aim around but with some dizzy effects. I really hope it doesn't become a spammy weapon either.

But i'm reserving judgement until it comes out and i get some time to mess around with it. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. What kind of damage does the sandman do? Does the damage increase when hitting a stunned opponent? How long of an interval is there between hitting baseballs? Is there an ammo count for the balls? We'll find out in less than a week.

What I want to know is why did they take out the grenades because they were too complex but now they're adding in all these ing unlockables?

I finally unlocked Natasha. She kicks ass.

Is she more accurate than Sasha? Because it sure seems like it to me...

Kinda... once you hit them, they move slower, so it's easier to hit them again.

New backstab record today! Even had budge there with me

Grenades were taken out because of how spammy they were, much like flashbangs in CS

If by accurate you mean tighter spread; no, she's equal to Sasha except for slowing and power.

Nice! I thought you sure seemed to be getting a lot of backstabs there.

Too bad I started lagging out.

I'm probably going to be playing tonight if anyone wants to play.

Energy boost drink and achievements icons out.

I'm not sure what I think of the new unlocks yet. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it really affects scout's playability.

losing the double jump is one of hardest things i can imagine - i live for double jump!

New update, Energy Drink

This is bullshit, it must be the Spy update in disguise. They are virtually breaking the class.

Sounds like SoSTrooper was right then, with the whole couple seconds of invulnerability thing.

That'd actually be hilariously awesome. On the last day, turns out the scout was actually a blue spy and they change all the stuff around.

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!

So, the only thing it is is a burst of super speed followed by a few seconds of being extra slow?

Check out the background: it teases the new game mode. Looks like a two cart race of some sort.

Does not want.

Does want engi.

Looks like duel-payload...which would be awesome.
