Angrywolf, I was standing on an engineer's head earlier, facing the same direction as him, crouched, stabbed, and he didn't die...

I was however having lag problems at the time so it might have been me

And the baseball thing is so fucking annoying! It pretty much voids being a heavy if as soon as you step out you become useless for several seconds, might as well just go demoman so you can move faster.
I haven't played scout yet and i doubt I will for a few days, but the speed in which they can hit you at close range then kill you in 2 shots is alarming :(

The animation is cool though :D

Also the force a nature seems to do a shitload of damage with the blowback, as far as I know you only get two shots but with so many scouts running around that's a lot of shots!

Both the pyro and the scout, two of the lowest health classes got a long distance upgrade that has some adverse effect other than bullets, is the engineer going to get a throwing wrench? the spy going to get throwing knives?

It feels like scout is really unbalanced at the moment, but that's just because there's so many of them that if somebody kills me it's a 95% chance it was a scout..

I have to agree with nova. The sandman is kind of annoying since there's so many scouts around (and also cos I havn't unlocked it yet ¬_¬). I suppose it was the same during the pyro update with the flare gun. Its not very often that you get hit by it these days though.

No, I think you're right. A few hours ago I've got the same conclusion while doing an experiment on a bot on dm_duel_v1 (demo here, enable sv_cheats, type thirdperson then click on & hold 'Drive..' in the demo UI to see that I'm really crouching).
is the engineer going to get a throwing wrench? the spy going to get throwing knives?
LOL :D Ninja Engi & Ninja Spy. :D

they updated sandman a little, it's damage was 50% against non-stunned enemies, now it's 100%.

I can see where valve is going with scout, instead of useless they decided to make scout really, really annoying :-D
Trying is the first step towards failure..

I think Jase that said it before "Valve giveth and Valve taketh away" :butt: i am sure in following updates we will see things toned down a little on the scout.. but either way when there is less scouts playing i imagine the sandman is going to be nearly pointless when one scout has 16 other players to come up against on the server.. give it 2 weeks and we see how things go :P

angry to touch on the trowing wrench i will personaly kill anyone who ruins the engi that way, they needa give gim his rail gun back as it beats the fuck out of the sissy pea shooter he has now, the wrnech needas to crit more although they will prolly do something gay like make it do less damage but build shit faster and the shotgun well anything is better then that crap shotty as ur primary weapon. on a side note i can see the sniper getting a boomerage for his next melee weapon

Your just a bad aim Toco the engi shotty is the best shotty in the game, crits more than any other shotty and the spread aint as wide as some of the other shotties.. less weed more aim ;)
