The Scout Update... FAILS? (HD)

[NekoHunterx3]

i just have to say that the scouts fears have come back now the stun power is lower the heavys have natashas and still they have better weapons i think wearing the sandman is qualified as honerabel

[razor005]

May I ask what codec you used when converting the demo to avi?

[Hunterpelkins]

the scout sucks so they made it better ok stop whining

[cbradley1391]

5 stars for having goldfinger :D

[swvile]

Fail video, way to use noobs as your examples as HW and pyro..

[videogamedude1000]

they updated again, u can move around while stuned, take this video down now!

[santibowen]

.i.

[THEBOOMER22]

ur pathetic. people will laugh at you. Evrbody but YOU says the sandman is the best part of the scout update

[devil19x]

i love the sandman whit pratice you can manage to kill the stunned enemy even if the guy you stun have 4 friend around him just run around him and fire whit the force of nature you should hit the other around but you have high chance to get kill

[Enigma1790]

Your examples kind of had very little to do with real game situations though. I mean, every once in a while, you might encounter an unlucky heavy down a corridor, but for the most part he will have support or won't be charging down a flat, easy to aim corridor. Using that as an example to say the sandman is broken is like using the exact same thing to say the huntsman is broken, and we all know how that isn't true.

[randomassisntantman]

learn to spell, dumbass

[larrata20]

as for the sandman, its upperhand is as good as it is its negative effect is bad (lvls i guess it means how bad the effect will be?) having 30% HP less seems fair to me for a baseball trowing bat, put it this way: if he misses? u can rape him apart regardless of job, o btw the relationship between heavy and scout was to make scout bieng capable of standinig off aginst all jobs (heavy´s natascha is a SCOUT killing machine) i think bonk sucks, but i guess this is normal in all updates in general

[ultraanime]

not to talk about a good pyro can turn the sandman against the scout using airblast

[larrata20]

O_o wow, critics here are tough. i am good with both the scattergun and the force a nature (its more i have really good kills streaks with scattergun as i have with FaN) i plainly find them as two different weps, a double barreled shot gun wit knock back, and shot gun, at close range fan will always have an upper hand, that should be known, if u compare a standard sawn off shotty wit shotty, u will see, at middle range, and scout killing i preffer scattergun, i think both got their tricks

[baba3337]

I hate anyone who uses the Force of Nature and thinks they are good as the scout. That gun is beyond cheap..

[fdnfdjnedb]

Sandman and Fail-A-Nature are cheap

[Elkkun]

Even if I did unlock the sandman...I probably wouldn't use it considering the fact I'd miss everytime I hit the damed ball or have it shot right back at me. :P I'm better off as a Medic xD...I can still do Scout though. =3 every other class I'm probably useless as.

[Buucksh0t]

meh i prefer the regular gear rather then the update

[pokemanic11]

and bonk is also to make you move faster so like 3 guys after you stun 1 and use bonk to get outa sight and invincibility if each time they get a look at you youll be on the side of corner running and your team mates WILL well should support you

[pokemanic11]

well dude think of it ok hes ment more for looking retreaving intel and captureing the thingys sorry i dont have the game i just know alot about i want the game thoughe so you think about this ok your team died and no ones around you and your a scout and 3 people are following you what you want like 3 people after you at the same time get a team mate to kill 1 stun the other and make a run like honestly basicly they dont hurt you much theyre ment for STUNING bonk is so your un able to die and...

[skandergoon]

Apparently the original scout melee unlock was a catchers mitt. It wouldn't have a normal attack but it could catch items like missiles and grenades and throw them back whenever they wanted.

Please discuss.

[singapore11]

ok heres the thing if we go back to the old patch people will complian scout bla bla this bla bla that and say scout is only good for intel and ur will complain and there will be a cyber war and ur wan this problem sovle is 50% chance stun and tell them to poeple who make the game

[PumaMania31]

Well I can easily kill a heavy in the same situation, by running away and let a spy shank him XD in other situations though, I can easily kill Heavies as Scouts. As Pyro, I would wait until he walks out of that hallway and then go after him from a distance. Sandman just makes that all easier.

[SmashJonXD]

well anything that nerfs the pyro is GREAT

[NinjaDomzors]

this is the music from transformers movie

[KingdomHeartsFan20]

the scout isnt ment for fighting.

hes for capturing control points, pushing the cart, and stealing the intel.

as the scout would say about this update;

THIS SUCKS!

[DglMaster2012]

We all know the scout was worthless BEFORE his update! People were whining that he needed to be more powerful. And now after the update people are talking about how overpowered he is now? Cmon. He deserves to have those stun powers. He couldnt have the power to push back a pyro when he's running towards him. He didnt stand a chance against the heavy even though he's fast!

[DglMaster2012]

umm isnt that the point? to make the scout actually GOOD? geez people take the sandman and the force a nature too seriously.

[SonicFan535]

all of the new scout weps OWNS

[TxCxMassacerx]

No, the guys just sucks. plus they made a update that the stunned people only take 50% of the damage.

[Eedwart2007]

Force-A-Nature is quite good!

Bonk energydrink only sometimes.

[randompersonB]

Was this before a patch made damage done to stunned opponents 50% less?

[KoviDaBomb17]

sandman sux no double jump, im back to alllll original 3 scout weapons

[tightninja123]

lol meto

[BloodyBuddy2311]

It IS owerpowering... But only if you know to aim with it :)

[ZahinDenatrose]

Agreed

Now how about that song name

[rcracer1991]

I guess it's a song from Impossible Creatures oO

a game which I played often when it was released 2001..

[DispleasedEskimo]

I remember that game :D

Loved it

[rcracer1991]

me too ;D

[tazace]

me 3 ..... still got it xD

[XXflapjaxXX]

99 red balloons

[RainUsui]

no one likes the stun we all know it just be careful :I

[EddiePwnsYou]

how did you got such big field of view (FOV)?

[danavr]

Taking double jump away is stupid, it takes out the "special abillity" that makes class interesting and fun, it's like taking away the rocket jump for soldier. That's why is stick with the original bat.

[chalkmuted]

ya the scout update does kinda suck unless the sandman allows u to double jump still, but the bonk isnt bad

[mybestfreindplank]

You're using one 1v1 situations when if you're playing as a team that shouldn't happen at all.......

Anybody who complains about the Sandman is an idiot or inept payer.

[kalacazoo]

"Bonk!" is utterly useless other then to distract.

"Sandman" Takes away one of the main advantages of the scout and gives a different one which sucks.

"Force of Nature" Is decent at best, but leaves the scout vulnerable to a counterattack unless it immediately kills the enemy.

I stick with the originals.

[mybestfreindplank]

Bonk is used to get past sentries and enemy defenses,

How does adding on a stun take away one of the main advantages of a bat?

FAN is great because of the push back it gives the scout some more defense since he is the weakest class.

[ironman1793]

well personally i love the sandman cause in close quarters you almost always die as a scout unless your really lucky also valve did an update to reduce the sandmans damage by 50%

[Raelth]

scouts are supposed to be great in 1v1

it's team fortress

not "lets all split up" fortress

[SFPhoenix]

Well supposedly it was 4 in the morning... But idk...

[PumaMania31]

OK first off, this really doesnt help because I can own any heavy, with his minigun balzing, with nothing but my Bat and Pistol. thats all i do. so really irs no change at all

[chewwyi18]

mm no, The further away you are the longer they are stunned for. Like how you need to get the achievement 'Moon shot' by hitting them from far away and stunning them for the longest time possible.

[suttersmax]

All your Sandman victims were complete novices... and your opinion is extremely biased. Besides that, good video (i.e. from 1:48 to 3:20 ).

2:38 and 2:40 : You just missed two flaming spies. O_O

[suttersmax]

[EDIT]: Just watch from 2:35 - 2:41 for the second part - YouTube rounded to the nearest second, and missed the frame.

[picklesnorf101]

What song is that I know it's an adaptation of 99 red balloons but it sounds punkier

[chewwyi18]

I basically just sped up the original.

[ravemario]

hmmph, dude you do know the closer you are with the sandman, the longer they are stunned?

so heavys arnt useless

[andrisstr]

Dude,the LESS THEY ARE STUNNED with the sandman

[ravemario]

Oh crap it was a "tpyo" (typo)

[RainUsui]

i think its perfect. the scout deserves some kick and it means you gotta be more careful cant run in and rambo everyone as you use to gotta manuever and its also i great way to spy check just aim at someone your checking and if it a sy bam

[jakass505]

i hate the scout update i think its way overpowered and i have lost the love for this game because the scout was my main character to play as :(

[Metalswe18]

Note to valve

take back And try again later

PS:GIve me a SNIPER UPDATE and it MUST be Overpowered

[Metalswe18]

It faild, i play sniper and it so annoying When a FUCKING baseball stun me from across the FUCKING MAP

[Lordsounga]

Ya one the first day of the release I was doing that to Snipers on 2Fort. The whole idea of the stun effect is a bad idea. I personally think Valve should throw it out and come up with something better. Although I think having another class other than the Pyro that can slow down or stop Ubers is a great idea...

[RainUsui]

perhaps like a stickey bomb that stuns uber or something i dont know :P or uber draining bullets and etc x_x bad ideas i know but still
