I have found myself doing this to scouts as a pyro. If they start to rush me and jump, I air blast them directly up. This will mostly stop their horizontal movements. I can then flame them and axe them while they are on their way back to the ground.

I just have sex with them. Then we make a Purple team!

Only stupid scouts get close to a Pyro though... The smarter ones will stay back, which is when the flair gun comes in, though their zig zaggy jumpy running gayness makes them hard to ignite.

Moral of the story: Just have sex with them, it's way easier...

aaahhhhhhahahahahahhahahahahah

purple team...ppfffttt....everyone knows it's voilet.

anywhoes, I'm usually stuck as pyro against scouts...the problem is that they always stay away and while my shotgun is generally enough to pick off ones that have low health, I still need to practice soloing a scout.

Pyro can't really solo a scout effectively with the shotty, use the flare gun.

Fall back to the closest intersection/room/tight quarters and let the scout come to you as he inevitably will then fire/airblast/Axt. If he gets away just shotgun him down.

This.
Scouts are usually trigger happy ritalin junkies. If you back off around a corner they will get bored and chase you. Ambush and blast them with fire as they round the corner.

Here's a tip, don't go after scouts unless they are right next to you.

safibn · « **Reply #12 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:58:40 am »

actually, the airblast has a ridiculousely long range. Constantly airblasting scoots makes them stand still for a bit, letting you catch up and airblast again. Do this until you reach a wall, the AXE THEM A QUESTION.

Or they just shoot you to death while you keep them out of flamethrower range.

Desert Eagle · « **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:22:03 am »

Yep, scouts are pretty much your worst enemy as a pyro since as soon as they are out of your flamethrower's range you are screwed.

scoots do lethal damage only at the flamethrower's range.

beyond it, it may take them a full clip to kill you if you are moving about.

They deal more damage than you, have better range than you, take less damage than you (hitbox) and run faster than you.

For being in 9 years of development this game's ridiculously imbalanced.

Desert Eagle · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:31:06 am »

I guess you haven't ever fought a scout as a pyro then. As soon as you are no longer able to set a scout on fire with your flamethrower you might as well run away since you are not going to win that fight.

Not to knock on him for it, but you can tell he hasn't fought enough good players.

Lol, pyros killing scouts. Maybe after they used bonk. Oh wait, good scouts wouldn't. Lol, pyros killing scouts.

I've kileld many scouts as a pyro.

The flare gun helps a lot in these cases since it can ignite them and keep damaging them after they have left your shotgun range.

I'm talking about the average scout. You are saying that the average scout is bad.

I agree with you.

I'm just saying that flare gunning and airblasting is a valid tactic to kill the majority of scouts (who probably happen to not be the best ones around)

Desert Eagle · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:47:34 am »

No he's saying that any scout you have been able to kill with that strategy is a bad scout. Airblasting is almost worthless on a scout.

while the scout is retreating, airblasting him reduces his speed. I find it useful, but at times, unreliable.

I guess what I'm saying is that the airblast has the sme range as your flames, so instead of flaming a scout until he runs away, airblast him so you can catch up and keep flaming.

The best strategy against scouts is just to close your eyes and wait to respawn.
