im not on a team but i'm looking

3am ur time

i would like to remind you all that the invite conduct policy is in effect

im here for any teams that need a soldier to cry on or help scouting talent

hence

this line gets me everytime

lol i remember one lan mackey stood up and yelled "get raped you fucking faggots" to mix^. it was pretty gold.

the grand finals sure but the rest of the lan was pretty forgettable

1st one

he's fourteen years older than i remember

24 slots is fine, and no one plays instagib for objectives

lol i don't think you needed a real world historical example of why pushing in with more players ups your damage output when you don't have to worry about having a better uber. but i like your enthusiasm.

i pasted it in literally every folder i had in custom and it worked

no one can help you with your aim, only father time

your information was actually useless and irrelevant mr. slin (and quite obvious).

Usually, the only time you should push in with your combo through a choke is when your team has an uber advantage, scouts are really useful uber v non uber, but not so much uber v uber. Depending on the map, your effectiveness as a scout when pushing through the flank is generally not going to be on the forefront and mostly just to stop anyone trying to get behind or do anything dumb. Most kills you have will be catching people trying to go behind, roamers trying to bomb in, or people who have stayed in too long. If you're really keen and want to be proactive, you can always look to slip in by constantly pressuring the spots that other teams have to watch by stopping you get behind. A good example of this would be badlands middle. You can constantly threaten to get underneath the mid point or slip beneath by playing the angles and catching the window when a scout has to go back to his medic for a buff or someone just plain isn't looking at valley.

The most success you'll have being offensive as a scout in situations where a both teams have ubers apart from actually taking an uber is by slipping in undetected and getting pick, otherwise you're mostly going to be cleaning and denying territory. Even still, to constantly try to aggress and help your team by being offensive you have to have high confidence in your aim and playmaking ability and constantly threaten areas the other team has to watch.

As for being successful when neither teams have ubers, you can gain a lot of ground for your team by pushing ahead and getting in the teams face, which should allow your team easy entry through chokes. Even if you're not directly fighting them, you're taking heat off your team. You can also do annoying things like pushing up extra far to catch people coming out of spawn or other such nonsensical things. Most of the time offensive success in these situations will depend on your surprising people or taking a 1v1 with someone who hasn't caught up to their proper position and then attempting to compound any advantages you get off a pick like that. You do even more for your team if you can properly communicate your intentions and let your team work off that (read: i don't ever do that and never tell my team when im going in or what im doing).

That being said, unless you're extremely confident in your aim, you should take a defensive role most of the time except to cap points or catch people out who don't have buffs.

Regardless, despite what advice you take or use, no situations will always play out well for you and the same thing won't always work because in FPS you have inconsistent factors like aim and such to factor in.
