Valve today launched the anticipated Scout update for its multiplayer class-based shooter Team Fortress 2.
The update adds new Scout achievements, three unlockable weapons--the Sandman ball and bat, Bonk energy drink and Force-A-Nature shotgun--and three community maps to the mix.
The update did not include a new mode, "Meet the" movie, or a Valve-created map, all oft-rumored potential additions.
Valve has also reduced the cost of Team Fortress 2 by half until Friday, bringing the price down to a paltry $10. The discount follows a popular half-off Left 4 Dead sale, which netted overall sales that beat the game's original launch.
