The Jetpack
(MEGA-TF)
The Jetpack is extremely useful to the scout in reaching high
areas. An example of this is in the flag courtyard of "The Well". The scout can
jetjump to the top walkways leading to the flag, instead of having to take the slow moving
lifts where he is an easy target for any snipers in the area.
One thing to note. Especially for those of you who were scouts in
TF before. The scout is quite slow in MEGA-TF. He has roughly the same speed as the Medic,
or Pyro. This means, that the only way you can get away fast from enemies, is with careful
use of the jetpack.
A couple of things to follow regarding the Jetpack:
- Use it very sparingly, and only in emergency situations. Instead
of just busting into the enemy front door and having the enemy pursue you, forcing you to
use it, try and sneak in instead, then use it when escaping with the flag.
- Another reason to use it sparingly: It consumes cells, so you
don't have unlimited jumps. It wouldn't exactly be good to run out of power just when you
grabbed the flag...
- Be careful as it makes a loud sound that alerts nearby enemies. If
you plan on using it, make sure you are ready to be chased.
- If Jetjumping over an area with snipers (Like over the water in
2fort5) try and jump diagonally instead of vertically. This is because a sniper right in
front of you, will have an easier time fixing his aim on you...
