Considering they were 6 and 1/2 hours late, I'm not surprised by the content. New shirt? Poll? Awesome ad with hilarious jokes (HOT DOG! 100% GUARANTEED TO BE MADE IN PORTUGAL!)? All we need for a successful update. And if you guys see the Mail Coupon, look at the line: I am a coward who wouldn't know a great deal if it knocked me backwards into a forest. That might suggest Alpine map coming up tomorrow!

Huzzah! Hilarious advertisement. I didn't care much for the Scout update but things are looking up. I voted for the shotty, by the way.

WTF? why are they releasing weapons at different times? are achievements not going to unlock weapons anymore?

No, we are voting for which weapon will need the least amount of achivements to unlock it.

...

...What? :confused:

From how I read it, it sounds like the vote's to determine which milestone unlocks each.

"(We will use the results of this poll to determine the order in which the new Scout items are made available to all TF2 players!) "

This makes it sound like they are releasing them to everyone (unlocking). I guess I just misinterpreted it.

Man, that would be awesome. I would fully support an equal-across-the-board unlocking of new weapons, NOT tied to frivolous achievements. Such a thought is far too good to be true, though.

I also read it as, "unlock the weapons for everyone" as opposed to "deciding the unlock order."

Sounds like they are experimenting. Whether they are experimenting with sales figures or player enjoyment I'm not sure.

I think one goal of the achievements is to make players play them more...

like without achievements, I would have never known how awesome I could play medic or pyro

Crap releasing slowly will cause a way more drawn out scout-class flood.

The 2 shoot round looks kinda gay, it build on TF2 maker ideas of the scout (voiced in the commentary) But seriously 2 shots slow reload, vote that so the we can play as engie and pwn the n00bs class flooding.

PS polls are valve was of market research, my they notice the sandman sucks big dick.

Hot dog!

People, vote sandman. Don't you see, from all of the new unlocks, sandman relates to the most new achievements. If we get it faster, we get other weapons faster.

Overall more awesomness!

sorry for double posting. but WTF

The Sandman
7260 votes (32.63%)

'Bonk' Energy Drink
5263 votes (23.66%)

The Force-A-Nature
9724 votes (43.71%)

The sandman sounds shit, the force ok but bonk I would use!
Also what about d) all at the same time?

Quit whining! Scout is arguably the most important and powerful offensive class in the game, if played right.

Listen to this man. There are six Sandman related achievements, whereas Force-a-nature has 3 and Bonk just one. Every vote for the Sandman is a vote for faster unlocking.

I totaly want bonk first cos im definitely gonna use it and it will maximise my playstyle. The sandman might be good buts probably useless to me.

What the hell is wrong with people going on about getting the weapons without acheivements? This wouldnt promote the class at all, and seeing as their updating in order of unpopularity, im pretty sure is cos they want us to play them. If you didnt need the achievements youd be like lol and try all the weps AT ONCE, get bored of them all much faster then go back to your normal classes.

Which would eliminate the stupidity of achievement farming completely and vastly reduce the post-update stupidity of servers with 8 scouts per team.

Well, let's think of the scout weapons with one word in mind.

I like how they made it sound like a good thing to have a 2 barrel shotgun with slow reload, but they have to make the upgraded weapons fair.
I voted for the F-a-N.

People would still flood the class to try the weapons.

Shmitz

02-24-2009, 07:00 PM

Yes, but if people get bored with them faster, as sausagedog claims, it would certainly cut down on the amount of class flooding, and gameplay would go back to enjoyable levels a lot sooner.

Quit whining! Scout is arguably the most important and powerful offensive class in the game, if played right.

5% of player use the scout often(excluding caping) as offense, i play it ok, less then 1% of tf2 play it good. and for that reason it's not the most important class, also i reverse the right to bitch when i feel like it.
