I find scouts become less and less of a problem the more people are in the server, 1v1, scout is a beast, 12v12 and you have to be a damn good scout not to catch any of the 12000 random shots pinging about, that said, pretty much all the classes are combat viable if used right, rolling a +ve kpd as med isnt that odd if you are rolling the stone bust (see enemy health) and have decent needle accuracy.


In terms of finding servers, go browse servers, set ping to <100/<50, pick a map you want with the player count you want and go.  Ive seen 3 hackers in my 1500 hours of tf2, so that shouldnt be a huge problem, some servers have the stuff like donators getting cheats, or dick admins, but its the easiest thing in the world to just change server.

  In terms of servers with communities, clan servers (noobs are probably gonna get smashed though) and custom map servers usually have a fair amount of regulars.  Setting up a pubs vs pros game can be a great intro to comp as well

Ugh, i'm actually better out in the open as a scout than against one person. Especially if its another scout, I just can't ever win Scout vs. Scout fights.

As for the servers I just mean has people because I kept choosing servers and it was either a bot fest or just mean.

Oh yeah, my bad, I forgot servers that fill up with bots. The Skial servers appear to automatically generate bots until they're 23/24 full, removing them as people join. So you think you're joining a full server, and when you get there it's 3 players and a bunch of braindead bots running in circles in spawn. So blacklisted.

My Sniper build is Machina, Danger Shield and that one Saharan knife.

I think I've said this before but Huntsman + Jarate (and usually Bushwacka) is the only way I can play Sniper. Aggro Frontlines Sniper is so much less boring that sitting in a corner with a rifle.

   I was going to go and take all of your tips but then while scanning the server list a few hours ago found convoy and remembered that was the map with the giant moving vehicles and that was a few hours ago. Great fun and all that though definitely not something I want to do all the time.

   As for the bot servers, I have been able to avoid them after the first few by just not going to any server where its full except for one slot. Most real servers tend not to get to 23/24 as they either are full or somewhere around ~20.

So I started making a serious attempt at using the DR today. The infamous Enforcer + DR + YER combo is definitely very powerful, but I found myself instinctively dropping disguises (I like to spycap), at which point I obviously couldn't get them back. It's also surprisingly difficult to get into an engie nest: Unless you can catch somebody out in the open and slip in, your only real option is to hope that he's positioned badly and try to use his dispenser for cover or something after DRing. Eventually I switched to Enforcer + DR + BE, which was frankly bloody fantastic. DR past the front lines, grab a small ammo box, stab a guy, and if you're spotted you can DR again right there. I had 2/1 k/d (good for me) and 300-odd points when the enemy team got three paranoid medics which made the approach far more difficult.

Also, hilariously bad player of the day: The demo who spent an hour on Upward using the sticky launcher like a regular sticky. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw he'd set a trap for RED during setup.

Once you go Enforcer, it's hard to go back to any other revolver. I can still switch between the DR and the CaD, or switch between the different knives, but I always, ALWAYS find myself wishing for the Enforcer if I try switching to another revolver. 2 shots to take down an engineer means you don't even need to wait for him to turn his back on you before decide to sap his stuff.  Also, the Enforcer + DR means you can quite often take out a pyro and survive even after he's put the flames to you.

Wondering if anyone is up for a game right now?

[USEC_OFFICER]

I am, but it appears that my awesome demoknight skills has driven the other two people on the server away. Sorry about that.

I was against one guy at one point and killed him with my awesome scout powahs(he was actually pretty bad).

Cant play right now. Sorry for the call out.

[Neyvn]

I like playing the Arabian Set for the Spy, being Silent as I come out of DR cloak... I have gotten it down to a fine point that the only things that really kill me now are Sentries when I am trying to get close and Pyros... Nothing else really kills me...

I was just on for a second. It was only me and someone else on a king of the hill type map and the other guy left after I killed him as a scout to his heavy. Left after I completed the round. If anyone else happens to go on sometime later tonight I might join in and will be checking if anyone is in the server from time to time.

I play nightly. My nick is MisterWigggles666

When I want to play I tend to check the DF server first and sometimes even if there is no people I hop on and if there is people, well much the better!

I've never been on the DF Server. Its always empty. But I'd be willing to go 1v1 with ya for a bit. Send me an invite to the game.

Today I got the first Scout milestone and received the FaN...   ironically this finishes off my collection of Scout main weapon. Yes the last one I get is the easiest to acquire. Not, mind you, that I am complaining or anything.
