old news is old, but I'd love to hear your take on it.

Haven't tried it yet. Looks cheap.

well duh you haven't tried it yet.

also

Now the bad news: You can't double jump when you're carrying this little beauty.

I think that's a pretty bit disadvantage for what it does for you.  but we'll have to see

pretty much designed for uberstopping, kind of shitty thought out drawback. "ooh new, slower bat that knocks enemies out and stops uber but no doublejump sounds like a fair trade"

Also the new maps are Arena_Watchtower and CP_Junction

In most cases, the Sandmans' benefits out way the disadvantages, consult your local medic today.

On a less fail note, I think it's a cool idea that will shift the current strategies.
I like the new maps a lot, I just wish they'd bring a new mode that isn't entirely team based or that doesn't involve capturing something.

err...it's called Team Fortress.
Arena is as close as they'll get to Deathmatch.

LOL ENERGY DRINK

edit: also the new map is a push cart race map, and the new gun is a double barreled shotgun

the energy drink looks interesting.

"retire the runner" makes it sound like the Bonk! energy drink may be lethatl o_o

drawback of the bonk drink is actually a slowdown of the scout afterwords.

I realize.
it was speculation based on "retire the runner" which I'm now thinking is goign to be killing a certain number of scouts that are slowed down

oh yes, and teh shotgun is going to have recoil that hurts, I wonder what it's plus will be.

also since it is friday the achievement stats have been revealed go back to the drink page

Is that Egypt map based on a custom map? I remember playing on a map called cp_egypt sometime last month and it looked EXACTLY like that.

it may be a community map that they just add to the standard set.
that's where a lot of the maps have come from.
