Scout Update - ideas??

[Selby]

Ok, so nobody knows about the release for the update yet, but what would you like to see new-weapons-wise from the scout?


I reckon a baseball glove would be a good one. Scout could catch stickies and throw them back pitching style at demomen, or maybe the ability to use the bat to hit rockets back (pyro deflection style)


Also, maps like dustbowl, goldrush, badwater... the scout could 'close doors'... allowing BLU to advance whilst cutting off RED advances momentarily. (ie, find an alternative route for 10 seconds as a door closes) badwater/goldrush could be completed more and the scout could be used more in push maps.

dont know about CTF - maybe in TFC the scout used to drop spikes to slow down the enemy behind them. bring that back. works wonders on 2fort

them spikes used to piss me off to no end in tfc and i shit u not i will kill one of the developers if they bring that back lol

[Toco]

as for ideas i say they give him a golf club so he can happy gilmore demo nades back at demomen, scouts dont need a rocket deflect really, rockets are easy enough to dodge as a scout anyways

How about a temporary shield!
It wouldn't have to last long, think along the lines of a spy cloak, or even better, give it a set armour level that can be destroyed with a few decent shots!

[Toco]

guns dont count and u damn well know it jased

[Jonnywhy]

How about making them slower, fatter, taller and giving them a big mini gun? Or making them slower, giving them a tin hat and a rocket launcher?

I heard their melee weapon is to be a 100% criting handback but it takes some swinging!! LOL

a "SHOOT ME" sign that makes it easier to shoot the pesky road runners with sasha.

I want them to put little wings on the scouts shoes.

Adorable.
