    I'm sure all you Team Fortress 2 fans have seen the 'Meet the Scout' video, if not - heres the link Meet The Scout

    Could you believe what he did to the heavy? The poor heavy just wanted to eat his sandwich while the scout just beats him with a bat?

    Time to play scout more :p

    Seen the vid, but I really suck as a scout.

    I cant get any kills, they die to easily. On the other hand there are good scout players who just go bat s h i t crazy around you with a bad and knock you out.

    I love Scout on 2 fort when there are inexperienced players on the other team and/or no sentries. My team had 2 Scouts and we both raced to the intel. I got there slightly ahead so I picked it up while the other guy waited. As soon as I returned it to ours, he picked theirs up again, and I went back to the room. We got all 3 intels within 3 minutes. 3 consecutive rounds. :D

    I'm getting better with the scout, if you're good with the scattergun it's a killing machine. Engineers are especially good targets.

    Scouts are D-E-A-D-L-Y if you can aim well with the Scattergun.

    Yeah, personally I think that's the best "Meet the Team" video so far.
    "I think his mate saw me. Yes, yes he did." :p

    Depending on their position/level, you can circle-strafe while using ur scattergun. They are too slow to keep up with you :D
