General

The scout is one of the most overlooked classes in TF. Many people feel that it is a useless class. This is because it has low armor, and the lowest health.

But the scout's power isn't in it's armor, nor it's health. It's in it's speed. The scout is by far the fastest class of all. It can be one of the most useful classes if this power is harnessed and used well.

In the following training courses, I will show you all the best ways to use the scout. Things to avoid, and how to avoid them. I will teach you advanced skills of capturing the flag. What to do when you encounter a sentry.

This course/training assumes you have played TF, quite a bit. However, it is not required that you be "good". As long as you know the maps well, and you understand everything about the classes, you will be ok. It is not really that necessary to know the all the classes well, but you should know ,for example, that the demoman is equipped with a grenade launcher, and has a fair-good amount of armor and life.

MEGA-TF

The scout in MEGA is quite different from the original scout. The first and foremost thing, is the speed. The scout's speed has been reduced. This has been compensated for by giving the scout a Jetpack. The Jetpack gives the scout the ability to "super-jump". When used, it pushes the scout towards the direction he is facing with a powerful force, similar to an explosion. This is not constant, it happens in "bursts". Each burst takes 25 units from the amount of cells you have.

Another thing that has been changed is the grenades. The scout now has two set of grenades he can throw, and that will explode (previously he had concussion grenades, and and caltrop canisters). They are: the concussion grenade, pretty much the same as that in TF, and flash grenades. Upon explosion, nearby enemies will be "blinded" by a bright light. Basically it turns the monitor white for a while.

Apart from these, the only other changes are the standard class changes, extra grenades which I will not go into here. The ability to "lay" and the ability to create a hologram of yourself. These changes are added to all classes in MEGA-TF, so they are not scout specific, which means I will not go into them here.
