Half-Life 2: Episode Two may have been the main reason most people purchased Valve's The Orange Box, and Portal may have been the surprise hit, but it's been Team Fortress 2 that's gotten the most love from Valve's development team. With good reason as well, seeing as multiplayer games tend to have more replayability, and the class updates that Valve has released over time have helped ensure this. So far we've been blessed with the medic, heavy and pyro updates. Each update included three new unlockable weapons for that specific class, as well as achievements. The scout update will be no different. Today, Valve unveiled the first weapon one can attain for the scout class; The Sandman. Swing the bat, hit a ball, stun an enemy. The farther the ball travels, the longer the stun lasts. Not only can the stunned player be attacked (and killed) while stunned, but "invulnerable" players aren't immune from stuns either. The only caveat is that you cannot double-jump if you equip The Sandman. Check out that site every week day until next Tuesday to learn a new tidbit each day, including not only the other two unlockable weapons, but presumably a new game mode as well!
