SpecialAttack.net :: Scout update

amusingly, over at the official valve forums, some guys are speculating that the update isn't a real update at all, but is actually the spy update (lulz) 'in disguise'.

they're talking complete rubbish ofc, but it's good for a laugh

Yeehaww... I'm not the only one who hasn't got the "Get 10 kills with your sentry"-achievement. My sentry was blown up with 9 kills twice.

Well.... I once had 26 kills with my sentrygun in one life (both the sentry and i), but didn't get the archievement. I think it was bugged in the early days

Funny you should say that, i'm sure i've actually got the achievement... haha...

You got 30avrg points as demo? So..err...a 20kpd ratio (minimum) with him? In fact, how exaclty do you get a 30poitns average with 21 max kills, but as soldier? xD

Well, those average points aren't per round, they're per life. So if you go 30avr points as demo per life and 21 as soldier, you're pretty close to a pub god.

Uuuu...mike is a cheator! Everybody point and laugh at him!
Cheater!
Cheater!
Cheater!

On a serious note though, my lowest average are also with scout. Aaaand spy, but I never play that. So scout. Myeah, you're right scouts don't really get that many points.

Well, not in pubs at least.

We could take your screen to talk about how "balanced" the demo is.

@Spike: ZOMG! The Egypt is a spy!

where are the updates about the update ? >.>

I need no uber for sentries, if u can show me one sentryspot I cant take out as demo, I will play spy a whole week (my weakest class)

Get a blowback pyro next to the sentry and you'll need an uber. After all, we're a team, right?

But i love scout so i'd be pretty annoyed if it was spy update Although valve already said they would have to do the spy update and the sniper update in one (yes.. yes... yes...) so then i'd be super happy

I was browsing through various stats, and i am by no means a bad scout, not anymore anyway ;P This just struck me as a little odd, i mean, note the demoman playtime especially. I started browsing since i just survived for 16 mins as scout in a 26 player match, so i'm pretty pleased with myself In and out, LIKE A VIPER! or a kitten, something totally scary anyway >=O Oh yeah my point, this screeny proves scouts don't get many points xD I have a much better average as spy, which is my worst class by far, not only am i the most obvious spy in the world, i totally suck at everything spy related.

Must of been from caps/defences? however demomen get points, i don't remember arsing about with demoman killing bots or whatever, but i might of done lol. Still a one off shouldn't effect the average so amazingly? the stats are wierd though if it thinks you've gained too much too quick or whatever it doesn't record them, i've done better as heavy but it didn't count it xD

Well i can confidently say i don't average at 30 points a life as demo.. Not soldier either I got that 21 kills once, got a medic on me with the kritz... It makes no sense. but what does make sense, is the Scout problleeeeem >_<! lol, if i could erase the demoman stat i probs would, seems fishy to me. edit: you bitch! :O i've done achievement servers a couple times, but not for demo? I'm not f'in about for medic unlocks and heavy unlocks.

Yep they usually came about 6pm ET ( eastern time in USA ). And every sentry spot is good, unless spy/uber comes

I earnt my medic/heavy unlocks more than using the .exe thing. I can honestly say i suck as soldier, i've only totally dominated once or twice, that time i got the 21 kills was nice. I dnt get how average works, it obviously doesn't make sense

Put sentry here, I was able to score 23 kills from that spot ;] Of course they need to cap A first. And funny thing I never saw sentry here built by other players, and it can easily stop first rush to E, as you can build lvl3 sentry there withing installation. Theres one angle in that spot, that can cover 95% of area, you just need to watch out for spies and people running below you next to the wall.

Some sentry positions are only good due to there being cover from your teammates I don't see why some people feel the need to run into a sentries view to destroy it, unless there are enemies blocking the one easy way to destroy the sentry.

I stopped playing engi muchly because my sentries are so weak, area denial is fine, except you never get any action. Then a demo comes along and BOOM.
