Valve has posted up a funny little comic on their blog. The comic details the torrid friendship of the blue soldier and the red demoman. The “friendship ends tomorrow”, so I guess we’ll get to see the rest then. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of update announcement tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled.
The scout is a fast and nimble little class, who’s goal is to get in, get out, and NEVER stop moving. One of his most difficult enemies? The soldier.
From a Distance
The trick when rushing up on a soldier as a scout is to keep moving (you’ll end up hearing that quite a bit in this article) and think carefully enough to dodge his rockets. From a distance the scout can run circles around a soldiers rockets. In this scenario you are probably best if you whip out your pistol and try and get solid hits against the soldier. While strafing and dodging you can pepper him with your shotgun, but he’d be foolish not to just retreat and find some health (and with as much damage as you are doing from a distance he’ll probably only need a little health bottle). If you want to execute a kill from a distance, your best option is to rush up on that soldier and get good solid hits with your scattergun. Read more »
Little video that made the Digg front page. Has a soldier and medic coming over to the engineer’s house for dinner. The voice acting is terrible, but it’s funny and safe for work. Favorite Quote: “Spy sapping my sentry!” “HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT?!?!?”
