TF2 scout update!

I played a little this weekend, and its official I hate scouts. They are like mosquitoes on crack with howitzers. Oh hi your stunned, and now your dead, and you can't do anything to stop me.

Time to stop playing for a while.
 
Well, for me over the weekend the scount buzz is starting to wind down. Most of the people who used achievement servers to get the unlocks fast have become bored with scout and your back to a reasonable number of people playing it (<= 3 per side). Frankly if there isn't an overwhemling number of scouts, they are much less impressive. However, maybe it was just because I was a heavy I wasn't liking the 5 scouts and thier bats owning the crap out of me. :)
 
Strangely enough, I played heavy last night for the first time in a loong time, and didn't get stunned a single time. BUT I did dodge 2 baseballs while playing. I pwned scouts and ended up at the top of my leaderboard for the first time as a heavy :)

Achievement whores.
Yeah, a lot of people are playing Scout right now that suck at it.
My friend is damn good as a Demo, Engineer, and Pyro, but sucks at everything else including Scout. But he is playing Scout right now for the achievement unlockable weapons. Not that he will ever use them, just like the Heavy and Medic unlocks, he will only play it till he has them and then go back to his normal classes.

I freaking hate it, if you suck at a class why play it? I love scout, its my most played class, it was the only class i really played before the update, but now its a 50/50 chance ill play it, whenever i play as scout and you have all these sucky scouts running around, it gets real boring, real fast.
 
Baseball is getting hilariously fun... I know how annoying it is to get hit by it, so it makes it that much more fun to hit other people... I don't even bother shooting at you, teammates tend to do that...

Infact I had more assists than kills last time I played... o_O

My Latency is 25-55 on Jiggly's fun house servers 1-4, 2 and 3 are sourcecraft. I'm upstate NY.

As for the scout update, I love it. It's the only class that I actually use the damn upgrades in. I love the sandman, and people that complain tend to suck with scout.

Tried that no go.

I seem to miss stats for games I exit before the game has finished.

What's everyones max points for a single life? Up to 24 with a Sniper, 12 headshots. Bit like taking candy from a baby! Next best 22 as a Medic

I don't have an issue with Scouts. They are pretty easy to kill playing as the Heavy or a Soldier or Pyro
 
neutralizing ubers is pretty much the sole reason bonk is in the game, and I've seen it happen like twice since the update came out.

chill out you whiney babies, before valve actually ruins it at your behest

You must play with bad players then.

The server I play on, Ubers get bonked constantly so Medics tend to use the Kritskreig more often than the Uber.

no, I just don't play on 32 capacity instant respawn servers, so ubers don't get bonked as much

you're either playing on overcrowded servers or you're exaggerating

I've been bored and in a not caring mood so last night on my regular server I played scout the whole time, I have the sandman and just got the drink last night as well. I mainly focused on running around and trying to bonk non-ubered medics first, any uber'd class, heavies, and so on. I was pretty successful. The only downside was my team sucked ass and whenever I bonked someone - say a heavy with a medic, there was no support to take him down. So I hit him a few times and retreated.

On Goldrush's last stage defending the last point I would just run up the front, bonk someone, then run back to spawn and get another ball, rinse + repeat.

It was pretty effective, but again, the team sucked so we usually lost.

As I said before, a good scout is a huge annoyance. And with good teamwork can easily dominate.

20 second respawn, 32 player server.

I have no reason to exaggerate on such a silly thing. Ubers "rarely" getting bonked is not what happens on the server I play on.

Same here, and ubers get bonked a few times each round on most of the servers. It suucks.
 
Something that has been completely overlooked since the scout update is the spy buff, where they can now backstab you instantly. But getting instagibbed from the side as the spy runs past you without even stopping fucking sucks.


Why can't they just leave things alone? This game was at it's best on release day.. When it was actually FUN to play :mad:

The spy update is glorious. It works exactly as it should. They fixed sidestabs (intended from the start) and the instant backstab is also intended I believe. Why should it take 14 seconds to backstab someone?
 
spy stabs work closer to how they worked in TFC.....

but i kinda liked how they worked before, taking a second to finish...
 
I like to use the Sandman to grief people, heh. It's especially awesome to hit someone and stand back while either a Sniper on your team headshots them or the rest of your team gangs up and beats them down. It really is terrible; I hope the rest of the updates aren't this bad.

When I go scout, my team usually isn't good enough to assist on bonks. But! When I go sniper or something i'm always hoping someone will get a bonk so i can go to town.

A number of times while playing sniper a scout would get a bonk and then boom - headshot. Very nice combo.
 
that explains a lot with the spy... last night i decided to play it for fun and i was going on 3-4 run kill streaks as i ran around from behind just swinging away. (it was 2fort and i just owned the bridge by running around knifing...)

Glorious? Oh come on! Delivering an Instagib from a side stab on the run is too much.. its just too easy now.



and if we're talking TFC - I want my nail, emp, mirv grenades then
 
The sandman was nerfed. It needs to be used farther away to stun, and stunned opponents take half damage.

Also there seems to be a glowpath that lets your read the trajectory of the ball so you can dodge before it gets to you.
 
+1 for the Steam forum whiners

Their actually at like +50? but +1 this time around

Yes, a few fixes and a change to stun Scout damage and distance. Valve listen to their customers! :p

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Gameplay Changes


Players who are stunned by a Scout now take 50% less damage

Increased the minimum distance to stun a player with the Sandman


Fixes

Fixed problem where clients were unable to join a team or maintain a connection to the server

Fixed Scout taunt kill achievement firing for people who didn't actually qualify

Fixed client crash in when creating muzzle flash effects

Fixed client crash when determining which disguise weapon to use for a spy

Fixed Natascha's chain not being drawn on the view model

Fixed stun code regression that resulted in a subtle reduction of Natascha's slowdown effect

Fixed rocket & grenade jumps not propelling players as far as they're supposed to
 
its still stupid. Scouts are still WAY to overpowered.
stun should not effect ubers, period.
in fact scouts shouldn't have stun at all.

Oh hai, im super fast, I can push you back with my main weapon and knock you in the air, I can become invulnerable by myself without a medic, and I can stun anyone, including ubers.

seriously, how can valve not see this? or they are just trying to expand their market to pre-teens hooked on mountain dew regardless of what it does to everyone else?
 
Wow, the servers were all screwed up this weekend. I had super high ping on servers I always play on, and was lagging just horribly. I thought it was me, but everybody was that way, even the mods on the servers were lagging awful. They said it was some kind of server update thats got everything screwed up. Hopefully they'll fix that soon.
