First part of 6 is "The Sandman"

http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/sandman.htm

You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way. The farther the ball flies before ricocheting offa some chucklehead's skull, the longer he's gonna be stunned. And guys who think they're tough because they're invulnerable? It works on them too. Now the bad news: You can't double jump when you're carrying this little beauty. On the other hand, double jumping never put anybody in a coma

A. Hit a guy with the ball to stun him. The farther the ball travels, the longer he’s gonna be out.

B. Now laugh at the guy because he ain’t doin’ nothin for a while but gettin’ beat on.

C. Get in there and take some cheap shots! You deserve it. So does he. Batter SWING!

Well the barrel is actually shorter on that, I saw some comparison pics on the steam forums, so it could be a new weapon?

im pretty confident its a new weap, first thing my mate noticed in the picture despite the awesome map in the bg, lol

Turtles said:
Wha? Where you getting that from...

read the achieves, ive already said it too in here.

Fall Classic: Cause an environmental death or suicide using the Force-A-Nature's knockback.

and in the egypt description:

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 )

so pyro style gas puff, which is like a ut3 jackhammer, pushes you in the air

?
