I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this!

Anyone else following the updates?

I just FINALLY got the hang of playing a scout recently. And this is after years of TFC before TF2 as well. Scout update is just in time!

Ugh.

Only beef I have with Scouts, is every once in a while, you'll be in a room with a scout that just completely destroys everyone with insane skill, timing, and health pack camping.

Only thing that ever seems to beat them are fully upgraded turrets.

:S

I just hate to see how much more ridiculous those players become with this upgrade.

Don't like Scout, but the Sandman looks interesting.

Soldier Achievements pleeeeasseeee

He used to dominate in qwtf now he sucks major balls. Especially when compared to the demo who can fire 12 shots without reloading.

Might need to simultaneously upgrade the engineer, soldier, and demoman though.

I can't wait for soldiers update, I'm able to bounce around everything in sight. but he is not as mobile as qwtf soldier class.( I don't expect them to change that, I'm content with the soldier)
Mind you qwtf was dominated by soldiers and snipers.

Oh man. With TF2, they are so doing it right. I don't even play the game. I've never played the game, I don't plan on playing the game, but even I look forward to updates with glee! Even the stuff that's about the game without being in the game is so ridiculously awesome!

Underline, italics, bold AND caps worthy!

AWESOME

... maybe I oughta actually try the game out at some point, after all...

It's 50% off until Friday on Steam. Only ten bucks and you get tons of free content with each class update.
