Hey guys i wanted to know if anyone had any tips on scouting
I used to be good with the scout (thanx to Junk) but i got off for a while and lost my skill with it.
 
Use the extra speed of scout to advantage

Jump out from around corner. Stop, aim at head, click, then retreat to corner. Lather, rinse, repeat.
 
If it is close range, you can noscope. Noscoping on a scout is easy. Zoom in on your scout, find the center of the crosshair, take an erasable marker, Make a dot in the center of your screen and have fun noscoping!
 
On Italy, scoping down Long Hall is boh boring and a bit noobish. Scouts in Italy are good for mid and clearing out either end of Apartments.

That or shoot at the wall, put a piece of tape over where the hole is, mark it on the piece of tape.

Or better yet, use muscle memory.
 
I usually just bhop everywhere so people can't often shoot me.

As well as what everyone else is suggesting. Cept the tape on the screen thing.
 
Can someone please clarify the "Late Night Fight - 12AM EST?" Does that mean Saturday or Sunday morning?

Since this is a thread about Scouts and such, I think you posted in the wrong place :blink:
But PM Zimmy or Christy for clarification

I use my brain memory.

Also when watching a corner a lot of people aren't going to jump right around the corner, they're going to peak you. So maybe a head lengths apart from the corner to air. Once they peak, you should have good enough reflexes to move your house a few inches for the head shot :D
 
Play scoutzknivez for about a year and youll get good at noscoping, pretty easy

This.

Also, anticipate where people are. Usually people tend to go to their same spots (such as the corners in long hall in office) and it's easy to scope them out. Work on your reflexes. Try playing games that require you to think fast. I usually play Bejeweled Blitz or Zuma Blitz before playing some intense gun game. After a quick warm up I go on a pub and usually KICK BUTT!

This. Anticipating where people will come out is key to scouting them. Aim for the head as often as you can since a shot to the body with a scout won't kill them. You have to work on your reflexes just like he said to kinda "jerk" your hand on the mouse to get your crosshair on their head and shoot right away. Set your mouse sensitivity in a way you're comfortable moving but that's fast as well. If you're used to a slower sensitivity try using a faster one, you get the hang of it pretty fast. The scout is the best weapon in the game imo. :thumbup1:

tl;dr - Anticipate. Aim for the head. Train your reflexes to be faster. Set your sensitivity to a speed you're comfortable with but that's also fast.
 
JunK are disappoint


when aiming for the head, aim above the eyes...everything else will count as a chest shot bout 50% of the time, annoyingly
