Bonk!!

Looks like the TF2 scout update is coming on Tuesday. Watch the daily announcements here: http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/

I for one don't like the stun idea, going to have to see how that plays out. It makes me think of WoW daze.

Also, it was great to see 4 Quirky Bastards playing last night. :thumbup:

I added us to the clan list (http://funcom.hlstatsx.com/?mode=claninfo&clan=158). You will automatically be added when you put on your QB| tag. (from the console setinfo name "QB|blah blah". You really only need the quotes if you have a space in your name.

Today they announced the two new maps. One is an arena map so who cares, the other is cp_junction (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/watchtower_and_junction.htm), a map I've quite enjoyed playing on. :)

i'm really loving TF2 again... especially with other QB. we need to do this alot more... i barely game anymore and i found myself MAKING time to play the other night in the hopes of finding friends online.

I'm on almost every night, somewhere in the span of 7pm - 12pm (commonly 9pm - 11:30). Some power that be didn't like the word bastard I think and deleted our clan record. :( I'm working on linking QB| to Martian Cartel but it failed when I tried at work today...


also, more scout stuff! That Egypt map looks like one I shall enjoy for sure (I love the z-axis as I'm sure all Tribes players understand.)

[Tai]

They announced the thrid upgrade last night. There's also a poll at the bottom of the page (http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/force-a-nature.htm) on which order the items should unlock on achievement gains. (bat, energy drink, or two barrel shotgun). I'm thinking I shall vote for the energy drink just so it is harder for scouts to unlock the 'good' ones.

PS. Does anyone ever equip their heavy sandwich?

You guys should join Gamers With Jobs (http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/) if for nothing else, to get the private server password. There's about 1,000 in our Steam community and just about every night, there's over 50 gwjers online. Nightly TF2 events, bi-weekly L4D events, Sins of a Solar Empire events, DoW2, etc. Plus, the majority of the community is over 25 and I promise you'll never be called a poopyhead or doodiepants.

I might take a look but I pretty much only play on the Funcom server since I have full admin powers and we draw a regular crowd of good players. We'll see! :)

The update is live now!

[Tai]

as a shock, the servers are slammed. =P

For the next several days, Team Fortress 2 will be known as Scout Fortress 2.

Currently, it's not very fun, so I'll be taking a break until the scout flood dries up.

[Shadowrat]

i loved it. as a pyro or engy i was racking up kills

[Tai]

yeah, i went engie and practiced my regular soldier shotgun skills. We have a 4 person per class cap on our server, so it wasn't completely dumb. I had a good time but I am totally bummed that there was no new game type released. :(

Did anyone else think Natasha was broken last night?

And this in particular is going to make my life difficult:

Spies can now control which weapon the enemy team sees them holding. Hitting the "last disguise" key while disguised updates the disguise to show the Spy's currently held weapon

The Tai TF2 index broke through the 9000 level yesterday with a solid gain of 5.5%. This is obviously a great investment opportunity, I suggest everyone jump on this. :P
