This held very true for me as a Scout. Soldiers and Demos are some of the toughest match-ups you can have as a Scout.MateoTheBold! wrote:I noticed that once I branched out into classes I considered the most difficult, I started to improve quite a bit as a player. I even found that understanding how to play alternative classes really helped me play my initial favorites even better.
Playing those two classes I got an "in-depth look" at their weaknesses, and so when I went back to Scout I try to "exploit" said weaknesses.
For instance, when fighting a Soldier you always want to be above him because then his rocket will either have to directly hit you
or hit the wall behind and cause splash damage.
Demo is pretty tricky, but generally it's getting close to him, and then if he switches out his grenade launcher you want to try to out predict him.
If he doesn't switch to his grenade launcher he's dead. Too much distance and time will have been covered by the time he can shoot and arm his
next sticky.
