_sentry guns_
First of all, when you get killed by a SG. DO NOT RESPWAN RIGHT AWAY!
Report to your team the location if the SG. This is TEAMfortress so a
heavier class, in the vacinity for your team, can deal with the gun if he's
not too busy. Now if your team mates are too busy to help you out. Here's
the trick I use. First of all when I'm getting to the place where the SG is
located I'm already priming a conc. So I worry about people that can take
me out first. While their wandering about in their conc'ed state find the
SG barrel (meaning don't get withing view of the whole thing, if you see
it, it'll see you unless you're a REAL long ways away) and open fire on it!
If it tracks you then move! That's the time to thrown another conc in the
room and take care of any other enemy in the area. Then go to work on the
gun again. Beware of grenages lobbed your way.
_HWguys_
The great HWguys are to fear. Ones that know where to stand and hose you
down. But the good news is that they are far and few in between. :) A HWguy
on the bridge. Use anything you can to stay out of his line of fire so you
can get close enuff to take him out. Personally I'd rather run right by if
he's standing there because it's a fairly useless place for one to be anyways.
Let's say one's in the ramp room up high. Now my trick is to try and get
him down from up there. I throw a conc behind him and blast his big butt
outta my way. If I miss and he's still there I run around strafing like a
wildman giving him everything I got. Run up the ramps, around on the floor,
strafing and shooting the whole time, but that's only if he's blocking my
way. If not I blaze on by and go cap his flag. The same can go for any
other area really.
_DEMOMEN_
Watch for falling spam! Usually the best defence against a scout a newbie
can think of is spamming the area with MIRVs and his grens. Wait for that
to die down because if you rush into that you're gonna become a soupy mess
on their floor. If you see a piper, I call the people that throw pipebombs
in your face and explode them then a piper. The thing I like to do, also
the funniest, is run right up to them and stay right in their face. All the
while nailing him. It's pretty funny watching them try to run away and pipe
your face when they're two feet from you. Watch out for the change to
normal grens!
As for pipebombs on the ground. Do the most obvious thing. Run up to them,
but not on them, then throw it into reverse hoping that the demo sets them
off. Then run by.
_Snipers_
Not much to tell you about here really. Avoid the lil red dot is all that I
can tell you. If you're crossing a large area, fire some nails at any
snipers you see. Then conc them. A conc'ed sniper is pretty well useless
unless they back into a corner to stop the effects of your conc gren.
(while he's still conc'ed)
_Medics, spies, soldiers, pyros, engineers,_
It's a given by now that you should be trying to conc him first! If you
can't or have no more grens then try to get him to chase you while running
backwards and let him have it. While watching for grens yourself.
Soldiers try to get him to waste all of his rockets and it's easy pickin's
while he's reloading.
Spies are no troubles, watch out for their tranquilizer gun and run
backwards firing on him. No need to kill him, but it's a good idea to put a
few nails in any enemy following you.
Same for medics and pyros. Don't try to circle strafe fight these guys,
they have better weapons than you. Same deal as before, run backwards
firing on them.
Engineers are easiy killings, but EMP+YOU+YOUR CELLS=A BLOODY RED PAINTJOB
COMPOSED OF YOUR BLOOD AND GUTS.
_Other scouts_
Be better than the other scout! If you can circle strafe fight the guy to
the death everytime, well by all means do it. If you're not going to, make
sure he doesn't follow you. If he is following you, run backwards and fill
him full of nails. It's easier to shoot someone following you than it is
trying to hit a scout you're chasing down.
_Other stuff_
Discard!!! I can't stand seeing a scout do a sweep of all the rockets, go
running out without discarding and get killed. Basically when you do that
you're giving your enemy ammo to frag you again.
Don't do sweeps through the entire resupply. Grab some nails and that's it!
Here's something I practice. While going up a spiral, try to keep your feet
on the ground. [I'll have to admit that my lil bro (Da-Man or Nomad) is
better at this than me since he outruns me sometimes going up a spiral :)]
Last thing.... if you see me out there, drop me a hello. :)
