"Hidden" Clue in 3rd Scout Update release

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I found a "hidden" clue on the Friday release. The text is as follows:


A Dustbowl-style control point 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 traversing the arenas. In addition, the ruins provide Engineers with a large number of potential sentrygun locations.


I smell a triple jump

Edit: this has been discussed many times

I wouldn't call that hidden, as much as spelt out for you.

Old.

The force-a-nature seems to be based around pushback, I'm willing to bet that pushback acts a bit like a rocketjump. Guess we'll wait and see.

Well i dont think the scout will be getting a triple jump because the new bat already takes away the double jump.  I dont think valve would have two seperate and simultaneously equipable items that have oposite effects

Obviously valve thought scout didn't have enough killing power so they gave him a rocket launcher.

The scout can rj with the rocket launcher just like soldiers, and can use their second jump afterwards.

And mouse2 fires a scattergun which is taped onto the rocket launcher just in case.

Actually...what if the new Scatter does have some sort of Mouse 2?

..fuck it. Too lazy to think of something right now.

But that is exactly what is happening.  The kickback wont be quite the strength of a rocket jump and won't be as controllable as a double-jump, so equipping both the new scattergun and the new bat will essentially change the way that a scout moves and plays entirely.

Godammit, then this scout update was good for NOTHING, I want my scout, not a soldier wannabe!
