Looking for video of..

[Zareth]

Amateur scouts. Not looking for CEVO quality stuff, just a random pub game of a scout thats halfway decent. (preferably 5+ mins long.)

If you guys know of any please lemme know, i'm using demos and vids of pubs/scrims to help me get better at scouting :3

I guess


Fun fact: If it wasn't for that video I'd never be here with you now ;3

I really should state that the 'how to play scout' videos are of no help >_> I watched them constantly, and still fail ;_; that, and they only cover a select few maps x.x prefer ones with Well (CP) or Badwater

[Zareth]

Oh aim is no problem (I main sniper). Trouble I have most with are soldiers/pyros. Soldiers are just fucking awful to 1v1 if he catches me, and pyros, well, its like the Flame Thrower has 2x range against scouts ._. if I kill them I die from the afterburn.

edit: As well though I somehow doubt 20-30 fps is any good for playing Scout >_> I seriously just barely cut the minimum for CPU, and yeah..

Soldiers will often rely on the 'pause' in your double-jump to catch you, much as snipers will.

Jumping helps to evade, but you may want to avoid double-jumping around more skilled soldiers, unless you're clearing enough distance to whip around them completely.

With pyros, KEEP THEM AT A DISTANCE. It's often easier to get in a few shots, then high tail it and finish them off with pistol.

Granted, no two people play classes the same way. Scout's just my fourth most played, so.

I see from this video, the number one thing that EvilDaedalus does is keep himself airborne and double-jump circle-strafing his enemies - being able to do THAT while aiming marks the potential for a great scout player. (Unfortunately, I have trouble getting my bullets to hit even when I'm not flying around up in the air, so... yeah. :S I don't kill nearly as many things as scout as I should be... XD)

[Zareth]

I appear to have found most of the problem.

Lag, and payload maps -_-; CP maps are great and I did extremely well yesterday on Badlands, but hoodoo/badwater is just suicide >.>

[Ayeaka]

Yeah. Payload is murder on a scout; tight spaces.

HOWEVER.

Try payload as a defensive scout. If you're a good scout, it's absolutely amazing, until they get a forward base. <3

[Zareth]

tried it both, this one was hoodoo. absolutely destroyed. And badwater yesterdsay, could not flank due to all the soldiers and medics running round ._.
