The Scout Update has gone live. M for Mature's TF2 server will likely stay locked as an achievement server for those that have helped me test it out, Contributors and Donators.

New features:
- Added The Force-A-Nature, The Sandman, and Bonk!
- Added 35 new Scout achievements.
- Added crit boosted on/off sound effects.
- Added new sounds for upgraded teleporters.
- Added new sound for a fully charged medic dying.
- Add bonus points section to scores.
- Scouts earn a bonus point for killing Medics who are actively healing a target.
- Added several new speech concepts, mostly hooked up to new Scout lines.
- Added new "Remember last weapon between lives" option to the Multiplayer Advanced dialog.
- Spies can now control which weapon the enemy team sees them holding. Hitting the "last disguise" key while disguised updates the disguise to show the Spy's currently held weapon.
- Added several new Arena mode announcer speech events.
- Added "First Blood" to Arena mode.
- Removed 2x item respawn times in arena.
- Changed backstab handling to fix facestabs.
- Spies disguised as enemy team can now see player IDs for enemies.

New maps:
- Added community maps: cp_egypt, arena_watchtower, and cp_junction.
- Updated cp_fastlane with Arttu's new version.

Mapmaker requests:
- Added new input for forward speed modifier to FuncTrainTrain.
- Added TeleportToPathTrack input to func_tracktrain.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug where players would sometimes gib from non-gib damage kills.
- Fixed stat screen showing an entry for a class called "map."
- Fixed item model panels not using team skins.
- Fixed obscure bug where spectators were able to carry the flag.

The achievement farms are fucking madhouses... It's impossible to actually get anything done in them.

I got all three of my milestones. If you want, you can rejoin the server and I'll help you out (could also add bots). I have added a few achievement maps so it should be really easy.

EvilSeph, does this mean I can get it for $10 ?

 

[EvilSeph]

Yea, until Friday, so get it now

That would be rad, I still need about 10 to get all three tiers.

Message me on Steam when you get on.
