This:

to really do it well, you need another medic who you play with a lot and can anticipate your actions - a lot of fail happens when confusion sets in. Also don't let pyros separate you.

Egypt is good fun, i've played it a bit because it was in rotation on a server i frequent. Voted for force-a-nature.

Scout is my second most played class next to spy.

And then of course, Pyro... if only i was as good as huey lewis or don newman...

I saw your ninja edit

7 seconds left for me. I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get a new video or gameplay type.

* Added new sound for a fully charged medic dying

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

The update just timed out on me.

What happened to the new pl map and game mode?

Anyway, awesome update. I'm more excited about spies changing weapons than the scout unlocks :p

nomnomnom.us

Thanks For Not Yet Implementing Multi-core Support Valve.

I'm such a pro...update has been out for only 10 minutes and I've already unlocked all three weapons

It's on sale again for $10..

lawl, everyone is playing Scout.

I played some Egypt and it wasn't that great in my opinion. Maybe it will grow on me...

Watchtower however is freakin' awesome.

I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow. Seems like the teams are going to be made up of 12/12 scouts.

After playing with the unlockable weapons, here's my impressions.

The Sandman - 1 baseball and it slowly recharges unless you go track down the ball. Nice for stopping ubers. Hit the medic and you can stop one permanently as the heavy doesn't realize that the medic is bonked and runs out of the range of his medgun. Mainly a defense only weapon.

Force-A-Nature - Really don't like this gun so far. I've never been a good scout but it seems really weak. Took 4 shots to kill a spy :/

Bonk! - It's exactly what it seems. Makes you invincible for a few second and you can't shoot. Mainly used for getting past sentries on bottlenecks on the map.
