Team Fortress 2 Scout Update Coming Next Tuesday, First Unlock Revealed
by Nick Breckon, Feb 17, 2009 1:28pm PSTValve today announced that the anticipated Scout-centric update to Team Fortress 2 will be released next Tuesday, February 24.
In anticipation of the update, Valve has launched a new website to tease the Scout's upgrades on a daily basis.
The first weapon revealed is "The Sandman," a "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 bat allows players to fire a baseball at enemies. The further the ball flies, the longer it stuns an enemy. The catch? Players using the bat can't double jump.
You have unlocked a bonus video!

I swear valve has no idea what they want the scout to do. There's already little enough reason to play a scout since demos and soldiers can get everywhere a scout can and then some and be more effective while doing. They still haven't gotten the hint that demos and soldiers can one shot half the classes in the game with splash alone, making it extremely difficult to do anything against soldiers and only slightly less difficult against demos. Throw in the lowest crit rate with weakest crits and it's a small wonder I play the class at all.
Too much spray and pray in TF2. I prefer people to actually earn their kills.

With the heavys new cannon getting a huge buff and this, I can see the game getting frustrating. A heavy and scout could defend a corridor if they had some ammo supply nearby, just by spamming.
