Scout Defense

Who else thinks that the Scout is one of, if not the, beastest defender in TF2?  Even though he has low health, his Scattergun makes up for it because it downs most classes in 2-3 shots, and his speed allows you to easily sneak up on enemies or plow through their lines and get their medics.

I kind of play like a Spy, I sneak up on enemies, a quick blow or two from behind and finish em off from medium range if they aren't already dead.  And even if you don't kill the enemy, you soften them up a good amount and they either have to go get health or die by my teammates.

Another great thing about being a Scout is that people pay more attention to the Soldier shooting them without realizing that after a rocket or two, a scattergun shot from behind will kill them.

But the best part is that if you're going to die as a Scout trying to hold back enemies, 9/10 times you can run away and still live, and you don't have to wait to respawn and this really makes up for his lower health.

woo beastest. its best

Anyway, i really enjoy playing scout on defense on gravelpit, because of the amount of ways you can flank people or get over them. Dustbowl not so much. Usually i would try to flank round, and take out some of the weaker classes or try to force medics to pop uber.

On hydro ive found it kinda fun to get behind a soldier and shoot him in the back at point blank range.

On maps where sentries have less impact on defense, like Gravelpit, the Scout is a beast, especially if you know how to get into key defensive points (like RED spawn tunnels or the roof @ B).  However on bottleneck maps like Dustbowl, the Scout just isn't worth it.
