The only effect I can think of that someone could be construed that way is with regards to hitscan weapons. When Sniper shoots you it checks to see if his cursor was on you when he fired, according to his client. That's why you can die four feet around a corner to weapons like that.

which is what makes those weapons hackable

No, because it isn't a fucking P2P connection, any admin who kicks you for causing lag is an idiot.

You're still rubber-banding around on everyone else's screen, which is fucking obnoxious in some cases.

I submit as an example a couple of those nights when LD was rocking a 1000 ping and would still get quite a few kills from tagging a low-health player with her flamethrower and then warping 30 feet backwards.

THE PICARD MANEUVER

Friday · « **Reply #204 on:** June 08, 2009, 03:07:57 AM »

When I am sniping and there are a million idiot spies and so I am not stupid so I snipe right next to a sentry cause it is literally right next to me and if they backstab me they will be blown to bits AND THEY JUST SUICIDE INTO ME OVER AND OVER

...

I mean like OK if I was this amazing Sniper maybe it would be worth it to take me out so their team can advance or whatever? But how can they know if I am amazing or not because I can't get a single fucking shot off before some spy decides that since he is incapable of killing anyone else or accomplishing anything helpful to his team he will just backstab me and then die

and it's not like some random guy is really pissed and doing this over and over on purpose, no, this is ALL OF THE SPIES ON THEIR TEAM

I mean shit I wish I had the razorback so that they would not know what to do. I mean normally I discount the razorback because any spy worth anything is just going to headshot you but I mean these guys would probably see it and backstab me anyway so that the turret kills them and then the next spy can suicide into me but at least I would be able to shoot my gun once or twice before I racked up another 1/50 notch on that achievement

The FAN.

It slows you down when you are shot from behind and you are moving forward. It has fucked me over many times because I get stopped in midair by a scout across the middle area of Granary on top of a soldier and a pyro.

And now it can kill everything forever with the new patch.

Note to self: Use more natasha when on the opposite team to Smiler.

A 10 PERCENT INCREASE IN DAMAGE

MY LORD

The FAN has gone from doing 100 damage at point-blank range... to doing 110 damage at point blank range!

IMBA, RIDICULOUS, DELETE LOCAL CONTENT, TF2 HAS JUMPED THE SHARK

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #208 on:** June 09, 2009, 06:13:15 AM »

Well, it does significantly increase the probability of killing a Soldier without having to reload, I guess.

Kazz · « **Reply #209 on:** June 09, 2009, 06:42:54 AM »

You have to have a bit of a nutsack to get directly onto a Soldier's balls and FAN him.

They're rewarding nutsack. I approve.

Mongrel · « **Reply #210 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:00:48 AM »

I don't know. If the scoot player is decent, it's almost certainly better for the scoot to melee the soldier. The shovel is unweildy (unless you're Geo), and it's much more difficult for you to get rocket-tagged when you are all up in sojah-boys grill, yo. I suppose you can shotgun duel, but I'd still say the scoot has a slight advantage there.

The trick is to close that range without eating a rocket on the way in.

Smiler · « **Reply #211 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:26:46 AM »

One rocket can kill a scout. Most soldiers don't switch to their shovel because rockets are better melee weapons than shovels.

Do you know how easy it is to hit someone with a rocket when they are right in front of you? There is no reason to not use the rocket launcher at melee distance unless you want to look good.

What I do is make the soldier waste their rockets and stay at mid-range until they switch to their shotgun. When they do that, I can rely on their inability to follow someone jumping over their head to get a good shot off on me. If they go back to the rocket launcher I run away and finish them off with the pistol.

Doom · « **Reply #212 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:33:42 AM »

What I don't get is why everybody is making all these silly posts that end with "Well, if the Scout wants to get up in your face anyway...."

But.. every good Scout fires at point-blank!

JDigital · « **Reply #213 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:37:43 AM »

Cirno's right. The FAN is a melee weapon.

Smiler · « **Reply #214 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:46:33 AM »

YO, I'M NOT EVEN WEARING A HELMET. WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, BROTHER?

Kazz · « **Reply #215 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:48:25 AM »

The in-game tip for the FAN reads "-10% Damage Done" in red text.

I'm confused.

Doom · « **Reply #216 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:51:25 AM »

It used to be -20%. Y'know, as compared to Scattergun pellets.

I may be wrong here, but I think the FAN has always done more damage than the Scattergun if every pellet hits because there are more pellets. So +10% damage is slightly more drastic than 100 -> 110? I do not play enough Scout or read the latest and greatest Scout forums to truly know!

Kazz · « **Reply #217 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:54:19 AM »

Huh...

I'd like a shot of that, if anyone can find one.

Smiler · « **Reply #218 on:** June 09, 2009, 08:13:44 AM »

I never use the FAN, so I don't know. All I know is that it could already do more than 150 damage without critting.

Brentai · « **Reply #219 on:** June 09, 2009, 08:30:54 AM »

Here's what I know.

Last night (because I am still playing this game for some goddam reason), I snuck up on a fully-healed Heavy, shot him twice point-blank with the FAN, and after he was done being pushed out of my melee range he turned around and killed me.

Minutes later, I snuck up on a (possibly the same) Heavy with full health, shot him point-blank three times with the scoot, and he died without much fuss.

I guess I'm not pro enough to want to use the FAN exclusively yet.
