TF2: Loadout Lounge ep1: Scattergun Vs. FaN

In this episode of Loadout Lounge, Mike and I discuss the differences between the two most popular scout weapons in the game. We also uncover which of the two is the better weapon, and discuss what secondary and melee are best suited to go with it. The music tracks used in the video are all from the Turnabout Jazz Soul album, which can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f8jlnog0Fg&feature=related.

Was the 30 second intro really necessary?

[TheEntertainmentTech]

@infinitepixies No not really but I made it and i'm pretty proud of it, It showcases a lot of the things that my site is about and its pretty much to just get a couple more visits to our site. Im sorry that you were bothered by it but you can just skip it.

[capnfapn]

there is a reason why carnage, yz50, enigma, dante, decimate, and every other invite scout uses the scattergun. This is going to make me sound like a cocky asshole but you should work on your movement, especially vs. scouts. Be a little more twitchy/unpredictable and a little less w+m1 with little bit of a and d :) (just trying to help gawwwsh)

@capnfapn The person playing was {BC} Pomf if you wish to add him on steam, he's actually insanely good, it;s just that in the footage not everything was added, we did this on very short notice, and For our second episode were going to do soldier with statistics kind of like Deadliest warrior where we do 20 rounds of 1v1 soldier vs class X and record the statistics and stuff, thanks for your feed back though, I appreciate the reasoning rather than blank statements

It not the FAN is force a nature and force is crap at least usr the soda popper

[SecretlyGeoStelar]

Scattergun is better in every way.

[Ryusuta]

I didn't even know people are still debating this. Like, seriously. Scattergun has 6 shots. Scattergun also doesn't do the unnecessary and often detrimental knockback. Simple as that. Argument over.

The only useful thing to the FaN is force jumping, and that's extremely situational. FaN reloads slower, BARELY does more damage on a meatshot, and is overall very useless.

If you MUST use a 2-shotter, at least use the Soda Popper and get some mini-crits.

I'm a person who usually despises intros, but really a 30 sec intro on a 14min vid is far more reasonable than the people who have a good meaty fraction of the vid as the intro alone.

[DarthWigs]

Disliked because of the 37 second intro. It's like I had to wait an extra 30 seconds for the video to load.
