Team Fortress 2 Scout Update Coming Soon
Valve continues its post-launch class updates.
by Charles Onyett
January 28, 2009 - Over at the Team Fortress 2 blog Valve's Robin Walker posted an update regarding the next round of content additions and tweaks. Since the title's release in the fall of 2007, Valve has been working on updates on a class by class basis for its online shooter, adding in new functionality and tweaking what already existed. Adjustments to the Scout class are essentially finished at this point, says Walker, and work on the next update is underway.

"The weapons and achievements are all nailed down, and we just have to finish up the final artwork on them," said Walker. "We like to do the final art as late as possible to ensure that we don't waste any work, which turned out to be a good decision this time around due to the large number of unlockables we tried out as alternatives to the Scattergun. Balancing his replacement weapon has been very tricky due to large threat difference of the Scout between skilled and non-skilled hands. More on that soon."

Walker also addresses the release timing of the Scout pack update. "We've got an update that should be out tomorrow with a bunch of bug and exploit fixes. Later this week we hope to have another update out that changes the way we store your unlockable items," he said. "…Once that's out of the way, we'll be able to ship the Scout pack."

Not a class I like but will get me playing it for the achievements for a while at least

Good to see the updates starting up again since they were put on old while the TF2 team helped finish off L4D.

Hopefully like the other updates there will be more than just the new weapons and achievements even if it is just some more community maps being made into official maps.

I want a sniper update that will have the old school sniper rifle but I doubt they will be nice and do that. Hate the scope in TF2 and miss my old red dot of doom. Also hate that it auto charges now since I still try to hold down to charge which causes me to shoot some weak shot not even aimed at anybody. Used to be an elite sniper and have been reduced to a useless sniper with the changes.

Same as a conc launcher replacing the scouts shotgun would be nice since conc maps used to be fun
