Team Fortress 2's Scout Gets Energy Drink Item, Achievements Listed and New Mode Hinted

Just noticed that the scout on the energy drink page seems to have a visible trail, a la the speedster as seen in the tv show Heroes...

also something to note:
drinkers have reported experiencing feelings of lethargy that can last several seconds
think you'll be slower than normal scout after the BONK! wears off?

Flag based control points would turn this thing around in a big way.

Woot woot woot, looking forward to this. Mainly because scout is my most unused class. Just can't aim with the scattergun, lol



You know what I miss in TF2? A class that carries something like a machinegun, that's just bulletspamming. Not spamming literally, but like in Counterstrike with the m16 (is it an m16?) Anyway, I feel thats missing, something with a machine gun that doesn't spread as much as the snipers, but isn't as strong as the heavys.

How does flag-based CP work?

Christ, you might want to note that in the background the Scout is carrying his new unnamed Scattergun and there is the blurred picture of a new map, evidently a Payload map with multiple carts.

Yay :D

Just one can'll blast ya into a few-seconds rush of radioactive enery so powerful you'll be saying WOW everytime!

Argh, why does the TF2.com site always have to go down for these updates? Valve needs more server bandwidth just to host the web pages describing the updates to their games...
