penis

i cant

You can use it to end yours

git gud

It's actually good, trust me

It's perfect for pissing of demoknights. Completely nullifies their charge, and then they're just useless sacks of shit. Makes me lmao every time.

BLAM BLAM

BEEP BEEP BEEP

It's like a Super Shotgun that was aborted halfway through the planning phase. They had no idea how to balance it so they turned it into a gimmick weapon.

I can't even justify my existence.

least it didnt get butchered like the shortstop

this, along with revvied heavies
nothing will ever be as fun as popping people off the side of upward

i once used it against a soldier who was in mid-air, he was aiming for a ledge, but i knocked him off course

he ended up falling to his death

Good if you are intending to use scout as a distraction.

You can kill low hp classes with the quick double shot, or use the blast as a third jump when half the enemy team is on your ass

all scout unlocks are straight downgrades

you can really TELL this was from before the pyro update
>scout shooting pyros in close range without getting instantly fucking 100 to 0'd no aim required

...

>STAR video
>before the update 3 months ago
you don't say...

Isn't this the guy that only plays "comp" with people three skill levels below himself

you are silly

man
i'm saying even if you know what year this was updated in, you can really feel the difference in how much the dynamic has changed
why you gotta be pedantic

im a dumbass, didnt see the word scout

defense in cramped maps
vertical jump

uploaded not updated

yeah when he played it was mostly shitting on lobby goons, but he still did stuff with the FaN/targe that no-one else could

It just needs an alt-fire that doesn't push, then it's perfect.

I just want maps big enough to showcase actual rifle ranges so that shotguns can be realistic instead of pic related and still be balanced

play ARMA, Squad or if you need source Insurgency

It's called the Soda Popper

The old nailgun is better.

this is hilarious

It needs to OPTIONALLY not push, not NEVER push

It's a good anti scout weapon

It's fucked up how true this is.

I'm not trying to be intentionally pedantic, I just miss old STAR.

>that one really good scout with insane bodyshot aim that joins the server
>uses the FaN

Always got the impression I'd like arma from what I've seen, I really should get the money for it at some point. thanks for the tip mang

there's a few maps where that high jump you can do with the FAN is useful

There's this one Harvest server I go on a lot with a Scout player who is always clearly botting with the FAN. He sits near the health shack and just runs in circles. Since he's botting he can pretty much get the max knockback from mid-range. It's awful. None of the players in the server are competent to tell he's botting. They're all stupefied by his "skill".

>HOW DOES IT HAVE SO MUCH KNOCKBACK??

REMINDER:
DON'T AIM STRAIGHT DOWN FOR FAN JUMPING

no shit, sherlock

I still can't do this consistently.

You would be surprised how many people DON'T know this

>playing scout in cramped maps

Just play soldier/demo or even pyro

What is the Source logic behind this? Why does straight down have almost no knockback compared to the angle?

>That one scunt who talked shit before the game started and keeps running into my sentries

Any of you play Dirty Bomb? I've been playing it recently on a whim and it's the most fun I've had with a shooter sine TF2.

It actually uses realistic vector physics.
You're essentially turning your forwards momentum into upwards momentum. You can also fire at an angle while falling to turn your downwards momentum into forwards momentum, but it's not that useful.

Fuck off.

why, I'm only saying it as someone with a lot of hours in TF2. Shit's fun and gives me the same vibes.

it's called the Shortstop

They weren't when they came out.

I honestly can't stand half of the guns in this game, then again I have less than 10 hours in-game.

what do you even mean?

the worst part about playing an old game is missing out on all the previous iterations of balancing

I mean that I'm so new to such an established community and game that I have so little clue about, that every gun I use feels terrible to use and still kicks my shit in at the same time. Not to mention I now have to try and remember what all the classes can potentially have as far as effects and mechanics. Hence "I hate half of the guns", but of course you can't do badly with shit like a basic shotgun that spreads across multiple classes.

tf2 is the only game where I'm learning nuances and shit even after all these years.

Lucky for you stock is better nearly every time. Most of the exceptions are weapons that grant utility like the sandvich or ubersaw, which you can get from achievements. If you look around a bit you can find idle servers that'll just give you all the achievements if you want to go that route.

Whoa

It's not the FaN, it's the FuN.

lol

I like how Valve even jokingly treats these things like junk in the comics.

Honestly it's not that complicated. Most weapons are sidegrades of some form. The little bits about them will come with time. That asshole spy using the ambassador trying to aim for your face is still shooting a gun at you either way. The only things you have to watch out for are visually available, like the demo's shields (which means he can and probably will charge), or sniper's shields (he doesn't have a self defense tool and he's probably memeing/retarded). You can usually boil most "completely different" slot items as the same sort of thing. Also people tend to be stubborn and don't change their loadouts too often so if you see the same dork with the same dumb cosmetics it's probably the same weapons too. Remember, it's not the gun that killed you, it's that person using that particular gun. I use the boston basher, once in a blue moon I'll kill like 4 people with it, doesn't mean it's a great weapon to melee with, it just means I'm lucky, retarded and probably memeing so I'll forget I have a gun.
But on the topic of what weapons to use, use what feels nice and branch out when you feel experienced/bored. Most weapons (class-by-class anyway) play pretty similarly from stock unless they have a particularly drastic difference (i.e. milk jug/soda can instead of pistol).

TL;DR Just have fun with it, it's what I did and it came naturally over time.

No

>tfw get into tf2 after mym
you may not know what it is like to enjoy the game so much yet still have people call the newest version shit. i really must have missed out

>sitting in an empty custom maps servers and remembering all those comfy maps and incredible community
>everyone always using voice chat and actually playing the game
>pubstompers far and few between since there weren't esteban.huenzuales2003s to feed them and fill their frag videos
>long stalemates at the final point all the time because people would resort to dm'ing before getting serious again for one last push
>tfw no more cp_warpath
>tfw no more cp/ctf_convoy
>tfw no more cp_roswell
>tfw no more pl_cranetop
>tfw no more ctf_stronghold
>tfw no more ctf_mach2
>tfw no more week-long games of toyfort
>tfw no more map rotations
>tfw no more sitting on a server for hours enjoying map after map while forming rivalries and making friends

Fucking hell no. The atomizer when it came out straight up made the scout nigh untouchable. So glad that shit got nerfed.

Most of that was probably because the matchmaking took ages to find a match. It's much better nowadays. I'd say it's almost on-par now if it weren't for the system slowly (or not even) finding replacements from people mass-quitting the losing team, and no autobalance to make sure 4v12 doesn't happen. They should have made it so if everyone says no it would still pick someone.

Nah

Yes

...

shoot the guys really hard

no way

It bops niggers off cliffs and I love it.

proof?

can't you make it there with just the atomizer?

you can make it there with winger also using the little metal roof to the side

as a demoknight main I fucking hate these

yeah, just like you hate heavies and sentries and groups of two people

>groups of two people
>shield slam one with a crit and the first guy is already gone
>killing the second isn't an issue
Of course this shit doesn't properly work if they know what they are doing... which most people on valve servers don't.

as a scout main i hate you, the charge has a deceptively long fucking range and i get instakilled atop elevations fuck you faggot

I used to, but I eventually dropped it. Dunno why, I finally got some top tier Cobalts too. Like I have the best Rhino in the game as a Cobalt as well as the best Scorcher or whatever.

yes penis

>tfw main scout for fun
>had to start maining soldier out of neccecity

if you ever feel you have to switch to soldier, you're not playing scout correctly

>tfw no MvM Ghost Town

what

How do you think the final showdown in the comic is going to play out?

>1:45
>that pistol aim
good fucking lord
