Scout update needs your input

Peter G. February 24, 2009 11:08 AM ET in Gaming

Yesterday, the Team Fortress 2 team announced the anticipated Force-A-Nature double-barreled shotgun will be the third item released in the upcoming Scout update. It’s powerful, sends enemies (an possibly you) flying through the air, and reloads very slowly.

What wasn’t anticipated Monday was the poll included in the update. Valve is letting players decide what order the items should be released in. Should players get the BONK! energy drink, the Force-A-Nature, or the Sandman first? Pick wisely, and vote soon. The Scout update should hit servers Thursday.

    Wonder if this means the scout can Shotgun jump? Double jump AND shotgun jump could make them fly across boards....

    Yes, they can gun-jump with the Force-A-Nature, and it doesn't remove their ability to double-jump. How they'll be able to be combined has yet to be seen.

    I do believe the update is today and not Thursday.

    Perhaps it's today. I could be wrong.

    Looks like the Force-A-Nature is winning the poll, with the Sandman following second and BONK a distant third:
