Awww D: That looks stupidly alike to the original.

Natascha, backburner, axetinguisher (to a lesser extent), and every one of the Medic's weapons.

Now I seriously think the new weapon is a circular saw.

No, it's a new map called Egypt, on Control Points. Looks slightly like de_dust2, and sounds fun. Lots of sentrygun locations, it is revealed that the scattergun unlockable goes towards soldier and demoman. How that makes sense for demoman is unclear.

It's saying you can use it to jump higher.

Just thought I'd change my avatar for the occasion

Oooh, three and a half new maps. This is juicy; especially the deviation from the cowboy/industrial style of TF2. I don't know if I like it, but it'll definitely be interesting.

On the CP_EGYPT page it says:

A Dustbowl-style control map, Egypt is visually striking, full of great combat spaces, and features some really interesting uses of vertical space. Classes with the ability to ascend rapidly (Soldiers, Demomen, and Scouts using the new scattergun unlockable) have lots of options for transversing the arenas.

So does this mean the new weapon is a scattergun, or are they simply stating that it is replacing the scattergun. Also what could make them fly up in the air? Any ideas?

Apparently the gun is called "Force-A-Nature" It could have a secondary fire like the pyro's flamethrower but instead of pushing, it will lift him.

What I thought was this:

Taking it out of context, I think that the "Force-A-Nature" is the new shotgun.

Sounds like it'll have a higher critical hit ratio when you shoot someone in the back.

But TheGeek said this:

Fall Classic: Cause an environmental death or Self Delete using the Force-A-Nature's knockback.

So I am now confused.

Also the scout is my favorite class. :D

WRB852 · February 20, 2009, 08:56:37 PM

I bet it shoots something explosive.

oromis · February 20, 2009, 08:59:08 PM

force-a-nature new scattergun yes?

i hope it isnt the backburrner in scattergun form :\

some achivments look fun. Also one says that you can bat the ball back when soembody bats a baseball towards you.

^understand?
