I'm talking about the "Out of the Park" achievement. Getting someone to hold still for ten seconds without either of you being killed and without their consent is like trying to get someone with ADD to watch C-SPAN for equally as long. To quote Yahtzee's paraphrase of Oscar Wilde, "No chance you unreasonable dicks"!DeusFps said:
Personally, I don't mind the weapons, but the achievements really bother me. Quite a few of the achievements require achievement weapons, so it's a bit tough to actually get them all legitimately, which is what I'm trying to do. Another thing, their achievements don't, in my opinion, have the creativity and flair of the previous updates. Oh well, it's still a free update and I'll take what I can!
Omg, I kept Lol-ing the whole first page of the thread, DeusFps is to me everything that's wrong about "good gamers". I hate it when people get overcompetitive and just stop having fun. All of the sudden the game (according to them) is something not to have fun, but to be REALLY GOOD at it, can't play like the "pro's" you're a noob and "you're gimping your team N008Z!!! LOLOLOL"
I mean seriously, get a job, get a life, and start having some fun when playing games (even if you lose) :S

There's plenty of use for all the unlock weapons. For instance, I have great fun and giggles flare-sniping snipers. Nothing screws up your aim like being set on fire.
Ehhh... first thing...your a dink. You don't decied who the game is played, Valve does. Guess what? They just changed it.
Second thing, the updates just came out. There might be balancing/buffs to be done to the unlockables yet still. Remember then they removed the 50 bonus HP from the Back Burner.

Hum... this is apparently an argument thread. How befitting of TF2, people in heated fights for no particularly good reason.
I personally enjoy the new update. I am better at using the Force-of-nature then the old gun. The drink doesn't last long enough to be much good, but it can be used to strategically bypass a sentry guarded hall or passage. I'm undecided about the Sandman bat. I haven't used the scout enough to relie on the double jump and I'm not accurate with the baseball. It could be useful, but I don't now if the double jump is more useful yet.

Says the guy who finds it 'too hard' to play with the new weaponry.DeusFps said:No. Now i jsut know how many of you are noobsSimriel said:
I love the bat, I can see the usefulness of the shotgun, and Bonk!, well, I'll have to decide. However, I have seen many people use all of them really well.
Anyway; can't you just use the old weaponry? I think you're just bitching over something that a lot of people like just to look different. Quiet before you embarrass yourself further.
EDIT: Wait a minute, you use achievement servers? Wow, you're a hypocrite.
I don't get why everyone is complaining. Valve can easily be like every other company and not do any updates at all, keep the price at an even 50 until no, but no until Friday it's only 10$. Valve doesn't f*** around, of course they have playtested it, Scout is a class that changes much player by player, the fact that they could find things that well was to me a little surprising. The ideas of all of them are a little daring although if they really screwed up as much as you are saying they will fix it, they always have. Once all of the packs are out wait a while, a month or two, they all seem to fit into the TF2 universe.
Up until the pyro weapons came up pyro to me seemed like a boring and unstratgistic class. All the new weapons solved that for me, and added almost dozens of ways to run into a situation. The whole thing about the new weapons is to have more options.
Now for all of you little whining bitches saying that the new weapons suck, I am sure some has/soon will make a mod disabling them for servers.

Deus. Try protecting the point where a Scout Rush is coming at you. Medics/Heavys are Sandman'd. Pyro is knocked back, Level 3 Sentries miss or go down in two Scouts FoN. Demos are too slow, Soldiers are left behind and Spies...well they just need to go invisible for when the Scouts return triumphant. Oh and captured at double speed.
Scouts are now to Offence what Engineers are to Defence.
As for 'useless', you did see that one of the Achievements is to kill someone on Arena before the match even starts?

aren't these weapons optional? If they are, don't use them. Simple. And I'm a 360 owner so it kinda irks me when people complain about getting free stuff, something with the exception of Left 4 Dead we don't get.
I like the concept of the Force of Nature. It will allow me to be more hit and run, which I always envisioned the scout to be. Bonk... well, I like my pistol too much.
As for the Sandman? I also like double jumping... and dislike baseball. But I've seen them all put to good use. Having a Scout rush at you as a Pyro and your flame not affecting him can be rather distressing. And having a stun-headshot combo done on you is just plain annoying.
The combination of the Sandman and the pistol is also rather nasty.

Again that's practically impossible because either A) they will move since not even snipers stay in one place for 10 seconds B) you'll be spotted by their team members and killed while stuck in the animation or C) someone on your team will see them and kill them before you can. Believe me I've tried doing like you said but one of those three things always happened.wordsmith said:
I think you mean the Well achievement where you kill someone before the match starts.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I've faced a Scout rush like that too often these last couple days. They are as powerful as you said, but Sentries still are and always will be their doom. With the Force-A-Nature, they need to get REALLY close to maximize its effectivenes, and Sentries will have blown them to hell long before they can get close enough. That's why they still need support from Soldiers and Demomen, and that's why the game is not now called Scout Fortress 2.
EDIT: It's still pretty damn close to it though.
