Team Fortress 2's Scout Gets Energy Drink Item, Achievements Listed and New Mode Hinted
The "Bonk!" energy drink will allow Scouts to move even faster, providing "a few-second rush of radioactive energy so powerful you'll be dodgin' bullets like they ain't even there!" However, users will experience a period of slowdown after that initial burst.
The picture that accompanied the revelation also suggests a new Payload map is on the way, perhaps one with dual carts, and seemingly shows an as-yet-unnamed alternate version of the Scout's traditional Scattergun weapon that lacks a revolver.
Furthermore, the "Triple Play" achievement and its accompanying icon imply that a new gameplay mode, of the flag-based control point variety, could be in store.
As for the achievements themselves, only the icons and the names were provided. As usual, we'll have to wait for Valve to detail the conditions under which they're earned.

Thanks to Wisp! and Beady for pointing out the finer, hidden details.

Christ, you might want to note that in the background the Scout is carrying his new unnamed Scattergun and there is the blurred picture of a new map, evidently a Payload map with multiple carts.

The map looks like a cart race map.
I hope the carts in this dont roll back after a certain time, otherwise as soon as one team gets a bit of a lead it will be all over (thanks to spam, and having to split up your pushers and attackers, while the entire enemy team can hump the cart and spam yours)
Could be fun, though -
