Here's a scout tip for those wanting a little more action being a scout:
Become a Commando Scout. This is a scout who forgets his normal role of
Capping flags and openly fires (and kills) at the opponents. When you do
this, and Mega-TF is the best way to do this, circle the opponent while
filling him full of nails. HWGuys are easy to dispatch if you stay out of
their line of fire. Soldiers definitely. Demomen, not to sure, but try
it anyway. Pyros, don't go out of your way. Snipers most definitely,
because they frankly be piss in their pants scared of the scout popping them,
but not a LPB Sniper, that's dangerous! Engineers go ahead, but their
Sent will be around the corner, in a matter of terms.
Medics can be dangerous, A if their near you (Bioweapon Axe), and B with the
nail gun, and that gun drops people like Bill Clinton's pants.
DON'T FORGET TO TAUNT!! It's a very important aspect of
Commando Scouting! Let'em know they're sorry they can't take you out.
Tell them it takes 3 soldiers to kill you. Let'em know you're there.
And give the snipers a waring before you insert a few artificial steel spinal plates.
Burn'em with the JetJump and laugh at them. Take the flag and still battle in
their fort. Anything that relates to making them mad as hell. God it's fun!

That commando scout bit in the tips section...
Gah, I'm sorry, but that is kinda bad teamplay, bad play period, and not
what TF should stand for. I just kinda object to that being up... because
I don't want to see no damned scout running around ignoring the flag.
That's damned wrong.

It's me Stephen Nightingale again, just put a response to the (above) reponse for Commando Scout:
The Point of Commando Scouting is that A: You're almost bored with scouting for the time being(you can't get flag because of defense, etc.) and B: To have fun. Sure the flag is a scout's first priority, but getting yourself killed every attempt of getting to the flag (I think all scouts go through this at one point or another) wont do your team or yourself any good. So, in the meantime until the Defense gets bored, you can go around and make life a living hell for the other team. I'm not saying "go forth and Commando Scout until thy death", mainly because I don't want to see another Commando Scout on a server I'm playing on :), it's only a suggestion. Besides, it is fun when you do go around capping people and you're too good to get hit. Just remmember, don't listen to ol' man Nightingale unless you do.
