Scout Upate – Future of scout 2on2 and Instagib cups – Bball Cup, R2: Default Dates
February 26, 2009
Scout Update
After checking the changes and new features which came with the Scout update we have the following changes in our running competitions:
- Season 4: All Scout unlocks are allowed for Week 8 and further matches. If both teams agree, the unlocks can also be used in previous league weeks.
- Instagib 4on4 CTF Cup: As the Instagib mod is broken for now, the whole cup is put on hold until further notice.
- Scout 2on2 Cup: As the new “First Blood” feature is changing the gameplay of a Scout 2on2 match, we decided to start a poll in our Forum. All participating teams are allowed to vote whether the cup should be put on hold until a cvar against “First Blood” is published or if we should go on with “First Blood” included. The cup is put on hold until the poll is over (Sunday, 1st March, 23:59 CET). [vote here!]
- cp_fastlane: The new version of cp_fastlane that came with the update will be used with immediate effect.
Basketball 2on2 Cup, Round 2: Default Dates

oh boy sandman allowed ?
i thought first sandman would be totally useless but after playing with it a lot it does change the way tf2 is played
u should at least make a poll about this

I agree with that. It’s just plain annoying to be forced to look at your model while the scout rips you apart in no time, while aiming the sandman isn’t hard at all.

lol
How could you allow this unlocks before the community even tested them?
We have played some matches yesterday and came to the conclusion, that the Energydrink is realy imba.
Its a “personal uber” for the scout and destroys the TF2-Teamplay we all like so much!
Its almost impossible to defend or even counterattack, if you have 2 enemy scouts behind your team. They can break your lines and no ohter class can stop them. This is so ridiculous.
If you want to kill them you have to give up your defending positions and will lose!
What is the counter for the energydrink? Nothing! So its imba!
Pls make a poll about each unlock or move your decision 2-3 weaks until everybody knows how this update effects the competitive gameplay!

let follow them by u own scouts and finish them at cool down doesnt work? cant believe that, sry

It works, but its maybe a problem if you have 1 scout down or your scouts arent defense camping fanatiks.

ETF2L proving us than they dont have a clue about TF2 once Again , since when a stun effect belong to a FPS ? make the game even more n00bs friendly , great .

remove the unlocks. They are annoying me!

“It works, but its maybe a problem if you have 1 scout down or your scouts arent defense camping fanatiks.”
In that case you loose because your scouts are dead, not because the enemies have the energy drink. Remember they also dont have a pistol.

yoyo… just wait till you get annoyed by this drink! can give you a try of it in 6on6.

I love Bonk! it saved my ass over 5 times and only one time I missed my pistol in the last pickup
so go go go drink Bonk! @ all scouts
February 27th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Of course you love Bonk!
You can hide like a coward and be invincible……Why not give Bonk to all classes, so nobody can get killed^^
hm…..but wait, where is the skill if you can be invincible with one mouse click as often as you want?
I suggest we play with sv_cheats 1, so nobody needs any skill or aiming anymore!^^

bonk is fine.
Large burnout effect after invincibility + initial “drinktime” at no movement bonus
February 28th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
bonk is pretty much useless in clan play anyway, its the sandman that should be banned
March 1st, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I really don’t like the idea of banning parts of the game, but in this case I really think that as Mick stated stun has no place in FPS games, it is absurd.

Scout unlocks are disgusting; if you don’t want this game to become ridiculous, please remove it.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pm
if u make a poll about banning the scout unlocks, all execpt the scouts will vote for it.. so its a bit unfair :)

someone knows if the cvar for first blood is released already?
