I will learn to aim one day, and then I will do good as scout.

I did well on that one map at least... Barnblitz?

Scout is fun when Spy isn't working and when I don't feel like being a Medic.

Decrease your sensitivity so you're not doing multiple 180s before you run out of mouse pad space. I've had my sensitivity pretty high because adjusting from TF2 to Quake is annoying. Will give up Quake for a bit and play more TF2 and I should be a competent scout.

I HATE the Skullcutter. +20% dmg weapon that shouldn't be able to do random crits, IMO.

The +damage is nice, but the +range is the more valuable attribute. None of the swords offer the sheer satisfaction of being able to occasionally instagib someone with an overhead swing through the cranium at 10 feet.

They eyelander and cladheieirmeimorhhh have the same range as the Skullcutter. The other swords don't.

I've been using the persuader instead of the pan for the last few days (as a normal demo) and it's ridiculously powerful provided you have a dispenser (or cart) to keep you in ammo. Not having to retreat to heal makes exploding people all the more easy. The only problem is I'll sometimes see random gibs and think they're dropped weapons so I'll charge into battle expecting them to heal me to full, only to be killed.

Upload the demos from tonight now: http://tf2.gafserver.com/demos/

Highlight of the night, for me, was Kuro and Kirby arguing during Granary. Watch and be amused: http://tf2.gafserver.com/demos/auto-20110924-223103-cp_granary.dem

I just hate losing random crits on a melee weapon. They make the difference too often, if the people bitching at me in chat are any indication. And I don't have stickies to fall back on/spam incessantly since I run around with a shield, so the Persuader's ammo shenanigans are especially crippling.

Plenty of viable ways to mix and match the demo loadout though, which is more than I can say for some classes (read: our legion of degreaser puff 'n sting pyros).

I got a hat drop tonight before getting on the GAF server, the Towering Pillar of Hats. I think it's my fourth hat drop so far (getting close to 380 hours played).

I didn't actually get any hat drops until the double drop rate week right before the uber update, I got 2 during that time, then one other between the uber update and this last hat drop.

Edit: Also I saw we had custom maps on the 4.0 server now, does that mean we're keeping it?

As a demo most times you are in a melee scenario it is because you killed the entire team except 1 scout and you have 0 loaded stickies and pipes.
Then you have a 100% crit chance because that is how the bottle/ubersaw/wrench works.

I was kinda off and on last night. Did good in some maps, horrible in others.

Pac-Man map is some crazy shit though for a custom map. lol

And I was wondering what you all were arguing about last night. haha
Wasn't really paying attention.

Does anyone have any tips about picking people off when enemies who are grouped together as Scout? I'm getting better at fighting 1v1, but when everyone is crowded around the cart or bunched up in a chokepoint I can't do much other than throw the milk on them.

I should probably learn proper Demoman, as it seems it would be effective in areas Scout is weak at (groups and sentries).

The milk is only going to alert them to your presence. If they don't know you're there, you can try to pick of a single straggler with two meatshots (preferably the medic). After two shots, regardless of if you got a kill or not, get out of Dodge. As a Scout you want to force 1v1 matchups wherever possible (or 2-or-more vs 1 in your favor). Rather than attacking people on the cart, try to scout ahead and kill people en route to the cart after they've respawned.

Wait until they are shooting at somebody else and come up from behind to kill one of them (i.e, the medic). Most of the time you won't be able to do this, it depends largely on the map and the position of the enemies. Aaand I would say most of the times you will do better defending as a pyro, trying to do this if an opportunity arises.

Don't listen to them.

Depends on the situation. If you're cornered and they don't notice you, run up and get in as many meatshots as possible.

If they notice you, peck from a relatively safe distance.

If your team is also attacking them, you MUST get on the other side and force the cart pushing team to pick a scout or the your team.

If they notice you and you can't get to a safe distance, try to get the medic at least.

"Damage nerf?" Do you normally use the backburner?

If not this doesn't make any sense, because the 25% less afterburn damage is easily negated by the quick switch ability. Getting an extra shotgun blast off early already does more damage than the afterburn would do, and that's assuming that they don't put it out.

[EDIT] According to your stats you use the normal flamethrower the most! What is this madness? Do you not realize the degreaser damage reduction only affects afterburn? Silly Javamans!
Click to expand...
When the Degreaser came out, I was the same as Java. I though the negative damage effected both the flame damage and afterburn. It just made more sense to me that way, e,se it would be a near straight upgrade, and Valve is never so kind to the Pyro. After learning the truth is what caused me to rock the Attendant set almost exclusively, and be secretly angry at Valve that the Degreaser was out like this.

Grenade Launcher + Shield + Persuain Persuader has been my near exclusive Demoknight load out since the Uber update for that reason. But 90% of the time I use it on other servers. I was surprised last night on Hightower when I switched to it randomly and then more than tripled my points before the round ended. I was playing horribly overall by then though. I feel like GAF is on to just about all my Hightower tricks, and now I'm just dead weight on the map.

No, no Kuro. I was saying I was deadweight until I switched to Demoknight. Then I defended the cart and blew you up a couple times.

Lots of people use this build. i'm talking about Sticky launcher + Grenade Launcher + Persuader. Basically Vanilla demoman, but you give up random melee crits for super healing. It's awesome. It can be annoying when you have no dispenser though.

Bah, I've been slowly practicing with Stickies here and there, but my placement is bad if I try to use them like rockets because of the prime time. And I'm horrible at sticky jumping so having the charge so I can run back to spawn for ammo helps. What I'd probably do if I was better with Stickies rather than Grenades is Booties + Stickies + Persuader.

Yeah yeah, a Demo that can't use his Sticky Launcher, I know, laugh at me. Once my pill aim reaches a certain threshold (it's getting close...) I'm gonna pick up a LochnLoad.

If you want to be boring, sure. Stickies suck all the fun out of playing as or against demos.

Lol facestabs. I've gotten like around 3 since I started playing on the NeoGaf server.

I'm slowly learning Douche Ringer, so that should make you a bit more happy.
