[Duke 2.0]

 I can dodge like a scout just fine, but it's impossible to shoot accurately when doing the crazy jumps needed to survive.

[Soulwynd]

The trick I've found is that instead of using your mouse to aim, use your movement to aim. Place your crosshair in a place you know the enemy will cross if you jump on a certain direction, then shoot as soon as that happens.

I also use this with the sniper a lot. Instead of moving the mouse, I strafe for fine adjustments to the aim. Very very effective with the huntsman. At least for me.

Huntsman /=/ sniping, per say.

It's more strategic guessing.

I have basically given up dealing any meaningful damage as a scout. I just can't aim while moving that fast. Basically I only switch scout when the point capture bonus is a priority, CTF maps, or for shits and giggles.

Huntsman > sniping

I agree!

[Soulwynd]

Oh, I said the sniper, not sniping. As in, it's a weapon the sniper has and the technique works with both the rifle and the huntsman. To be fair, it works with pretty much any weapon if the target is far or if you have a high speed and the target is close. Doesn't really work with the heavy, of course.


You guys should find a server running the MGE mod. It has 4 (if I remember well) training courses. One of them is specific for the scout jumping.

[kilakan]

wow the new scout items work amazing together.  The shotguns mini-crits carry over to other weapons too, aka melee and pistols.  So you can get the hype, but then use it in melee for INSANE DAMAGE!

[The Scout]

Scouts new bat does insane damage? BULLSHIT.

[Soulwynd]

Yeah, the new bat is for people that don't melee.

[Cthulhu]

That's why I got rid of it.  The Winger is good with the new scattergun too, but I'm not using htat yet so I traded it off.

Still have the atomizer for trade though.

Would you trade for a shortstop?

EDIT: Hurp, this isn't the trade thread.

[Cthulhu]

Yes I would.

now the trick with scout is to bind "Uguu~~" to "k" so your opponents are distracted by anime.

[The Doctor]

Totes works, yo.

[Tradanbattlan]

The trick to playing Scout is to use marijuana shortly before playing. Chances are you'll hit more if you're not concentrating.

You're nuke? Hehe. I was so tempted to Teamkill you.
