Not for me.

Looks like the Energy Drink is up now and the list of achievements: http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm

I AM A FREAKIN' 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!

Haha, sounds like a great little speed boost.

Just the descriptions for now. They will put them in-game next week with the update.

Sounds like it, with some sort of short cooldown/side effect aftwards.

I wonder how fast it'll make you run. Maybe fast enough to run by sentries and not get killed??? If that's the case then that'd be very interesting.

I think that's what valve is trying to do with it. Make some way scouts can (sort of) counter sentry guns.

sounds like it, but when it wears out, you'll prolly be slower than normal for a few secs and possibly take a health hit.

This will be great! Have a scout sprint past a sentry gun to "distract" it while a pyro/demoman come in behind the scout and destroys it.

CP_Egypt and a Fastlane update

CP_Egypt
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.

Egypt is fun, though it's been a while since I last played it.

Hmm I never played the Egypt map at all. It looks interesting.

 

[PepePeru]

so, the scout's final un-lockable will be a new scattergun.

i think i've played egypt once a while back.

1v1 is different then a crowded pub match.

Scouts using the new scattergun unlockable

interesting...

 

[vj8usa]

Don't forget that they unveiled the details for the achievements, too.

Looks like the new scattergun is called the "Force-a-Nature" and knocks enemies back.

 

[ivan2]

wow that drink is gonna own in CTF maps.

 

[ultimahwhat]

I like the Red Sox tribute with one of the new achievements

 

[mrSHEiK124]

I just bought TF2 and don't exactly "get it"

Definitely has a learning curve for an FPS. *goes back to BF2/BF2142*
