Scouts

Post by [JiF]Mike »

I am seriously annoyed with the scout class. Some people are just way to good with it. :? I can usually take em out if I see them coming, but from behind....they move so quick I can't hit em with anything enough to kill them before they kill me. I think the scout health needs to be reduced...a shotgun blast to the head should kill them one shot imo.

Yeah...I had to stop playing tonight cause I got so worked up. :)

LOL, at one time or another I find all classes annoying. It depends on the situation. One time its the darn spies another its the scout, then the pyro, then the hw guy with a medic, then the sniper :D The scouts are pretty fast and that scatter gun at close range is nasty, (never mind being beaten to death with a bat) I can't seem to play it well though. Doc can. I must just be too slow. I can't snipe either :(

I've been liking the scout a lot lately, especially as a defensive class ironically.

What I find works best is if theres a defensive heavy and another class, I'll join them as a defensive scout. Scouts can easily blast away incoming medics that are healing guys (by running around the Heavy or whatever and taking them out in a couple shots), which helps the other defensive guys immensely since no one seems to focus on the medics. Scouts are also good at "cleaning" up the remaining mess if a bunch of offensive players route to a different direction or retreat. :D

I think people try to focus on the medics but they are hard to kill if they stand directly behind a heavy, or around a corner. Which is what I do when I'm a medic. :) I think most people quickly learn to try and kill medic's first...it's just not that easy in most situations. Especially solo! lol
