==knockback or knock back?==

This is pretty petty, but in the Force-A-Nature's notes it says 'knockback'.  Shouldn't that be knock back, or even Knock back?

==Team Photo Trivia==
 
The Scout's pose in the Team Photo is very similar to his [[Home Run]] taunt. Currently, the Scout is the only class to have a Taunt resembling his Team Photo pose. [[User:Danton|Danton]] 02:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

==Administrator comic==
 
The BLU Scout did in fact die as revieled in the Adminstrator comic during the war update (second page) in the screen on the bottem left.[[Yoshisonic|Yoshisonic]] 10:12 10/14/10
 
:Considering the number of characters who have died in the "Meet the Team" videos, the various comics and the game itself, this probably isn't the best indicator... [[User:Kane.malakos|Kane.malakos]] 07:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
Even though this relates to the BLU soldier (right?). In meet the spy the Soldier (along with the Heavy) were backstabbed
 
multiple times and the Soldier was still able to wage war and the heavy was able to listen to some Earbuds in the mac update. [[User:Gamecrazy009|Gamecrazy009]] 01:16, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
Much like Kenny in South Park, all Meet the Team characters come back to life in time for the next video (or are replaced). Otherwise, the Soldier, Heavy, Medic, and many others would not be in any videos.  [[User:Ryftt|Ryftt]] 00:54, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
:It says in ''Poker Night'' that the Heavy is blissfully unaware of respawning - he thinks they are bad dreams. I know that's not canon, but still. Also remember that at the end of ''Meet the Medic'' there are about 30 BLU Soldiers. You shouldn't assume that there are only one of each class.

==New Image for Bonk and Crit-a-Cola==
 
 
Would we like to use these to match the Mad Milk, or keep the cans that are currently being used? [[User:Hobolegs|Hobolegs]] 19:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:We should, the current icons are our of place since this site switch to Hugo's icons and those two icons do not match Hugo's icons from TF2B. But ultimately this is the admin's call [[User:Z Overlord|Z Overlord]] 07:17, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== New York ==
 
 
 
I personally asked some people who have been to New York and Boston, as well as a couple of Bostonians. Not a single one of them said he was from Boston based on his accent, and all of them said New York.
 
 
 
Someone pointed out that all the classes accents are faked based on stereotypes. Well, someone got their stereotypes mixed up, and now we have a Bostonian with a New York accent.
 
 
 
[[User:SalaComMander|SalaComMander]] 02:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
I think the Bios are non-cannon to be honest. They were written before the game was out (and looked allot more like a comic book) Allot of them do not match up with the character's in game. [[User:Z Overlord|Z Overlord]] 07:12, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
And this is not trivia-worthy? Need I define "trivia"?
 
[[User:SalaComMander|SalaComMander]] 08:02, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
I would agree that the Bios might not be Cannon, but there are several references to him being from Boston, most notable the achievement the year to remember which it the the year that  the Boston Red Sox one the world series. Another being his you of the term "frickin" which is used by Bostonian and could be a way of chaining the truly Bostonian term "wicked" to be more understanding to people outside of New England. The finale  reference that I can think of off the top of my head would be in his "meet the..." video his accent is nasally which I would say is more Bostonian then a New York accent.[[User:Schrodingerscat|Schrodingerscat]] 03:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
Irrelevent, irrelevent, and not entirely true. The references to him being from Boston are not the point. He ''is'' from Boston, Valve said so, and what they say goes. The problem here is the fact that his accent is that of a New Yorker, not a Bostonian.

== Lack of uniformity ==
 
 
 
Between the English page and a wide number of Scout pages in a different language, there seems to be a huge lack of uniformity, especially with some images, such as this image.[[File:Crazylegs.jpg|thumb|Bacon in a wind tunnel]]. Any ideas? --[[User:Vaught|<span style=" 0px 0px 3px;"><font color=" #FFA6C9"><tt><big>'''Vaught'''</big></tt></font>]]</span> 04:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== New strategy? ==
 
 
 
Should I add a new strategy to the strategy section?
 
 
 
*Using your melee weapon you can hit enemies quickly and avoid fire with your speed.
 
 
 
Or is it obsolete for the time being because melee isn't as useful?
 
:--[[User:Boregano|Boregano]] 23:44, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Using melee is about as useful as any other class, since his damage per hit and low health compensate for the speed.  [[User:Ryftt|Ryftt]] 00:58, 14 August 2011 (PDT)

== Poker Night suit card ==
 
 
 
The card of the scout in this game is the same suits for the clubs and spades aswell ? I was just very curious because I didn't get the game and this is killing me. I wanted to know to get more info on this game and make my personal research in other values other than the card alone and merge it with personal info. Do anyone have this info please ? If the jack of clubs tf2 deck card is a scout in both the spade and club suits ?

== Sandman Ammo ==
 
 
 
Currently, an infinity sign is listed as the "ammo carried" (for the ball). Since the only number for the actual ammo sign is 1 or 0, should it be listed as one? Also, since its not technically ammo, should it just say N/A as well?
 
 
 
[[User:BASEBALLFURIES|BASEBALLFURIES]] 01:11, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Yes, but it magically recharges. With... magic... [[User:GeminiViRiS|<font color="green" size="2px">GeminiViRiS</font>]] [[Image:User GeminiViRiS Doubleface.jpg|20px]] [[User_talk:GeminiViRiS|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/GeminiViRiS|Contribs]] 01:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
I think that the ball should count as Ammo Loaded, but not Ammo Carried, because as previously stated, it does recharge on its own, unlike most other weapons, which to replenish the Ammo Carried requires an ammo crate or a resupply cabniet. [[User:DJNerd|DJNerd]] 14:23, 4 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Knock back range ==
 
 
 
I've been noticing that you have to be about 5 feet away from an enemy to actually have them be shot backwards when fired upon. Does anyone know the exact distance you need to be to put the knock back into effect?

Well, according to the comics. The Scout likes tacos.

:No, all the weapons are automatic, hold the trigger down and they will keep firing until all the ammo in the weapon is used up, then depending on the reload (if there is one), the user reloads and continues to fire.

== Smissmas Story, scouts name? ==
 
 
 
In the new smissmass story comic, the blu soldier refers to scout as "Judas", possibly his name?

== I don't understand the reload of this weapon ==
 
 
 
He (Scout) is just ejecting a spent shell. Unless he is carrying all 32 rounds in the container, how is this considered reloading?
 
[[User:GeneStealer|GeneStealer]] 19:40, 12 July 2012 (PDT)
 
:In the same way that the Sticky Launcher's reload animation doesn't show any new ammunition being added to the weapon, it's considered reloading as it's when the ammo counter at the bottom-right is increased. {{User:Cooper Kid/Signature}} 01:55, 13 July 2012 (PDT)

:::: The stickybomb launcher and the scattergun just confuse me. If you look at the ammo counter, you can see that, for the scattergun, you can fire 5.33 whole clips of ammo (i have to thank my computer calculator). How does that gun even hold that much ammo? Same with the stickybomb launcher. Also, in a DB shotgun, you have to remove the bullet shell before you can load in the next bullet. But the scout can load 6 bullets into his DB shotgun without having to remove the shells. He only removes the shells when reloading.

== Scout's abilities in MvM ==
 
 
 
My infos about the innate abilities in MvM were removed because deemed as "strategies". The bit was:
 
 
 
''In [[Mann vs. Machine (game mode)|Mann vs. Machine]] matches he additionally has a larger [[credits|money]] collect range, gains health from said pickups and, upon death, respawns instantly.''
 
 
 
I think they fit the article since they refer to the class' abilities, not unlike the double capture rate. Not how one should use them.[[User:Kid Of The Century|Kid Of The Century]] 01:25, 21 August 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
:I think that this all happens because he has a cup of caffeine everyday. seriously, how is scout the weakest and yet still the fastest at doing everything?

:There used to be a taunt for the scout (you can get it back using reskins) that kinda follows up on the snarky in yo face attitude.  He steps his left book back to his right foot, leans back but still keeps his body up, and he waves his hands around like he saying "Come at me bro" [[User:ZombieNubMaster|ZombieNubMaster]] ([[User talk:ZombieNubMaster|talk]]) 17:16, 30 January 2014 (PST)
 
 
 
== Headset ==
 
 
 
The RED Scout's Headset is orange but the BLU headset is yellow, when a hat is seen on BLU (eg:Front Runner) the headset is still orange as if it was on RED.
 
Is this from the hat itself or a pic error? [[User:TugaMiguelPT|<span style="color: #990000; font-style:italic;font-weight: bold; text- shadow-red 3px 3px 5px;">TugaMiguelPT</span>]]      [[File:Buffed_red_sniper.jpg|27px]] -'''BOOM''' ''Headshot'' 04:16, 15 December 2012 (PST)

== Scout's Name ==
 
 
 
On the scout's bio, you can see this:
 
Name: Unknown.
 
I think us, the community, should think of names for the scout. [[User:ZombieNubMaster|ZombieNubMaster]] ([[User talk:ZombieNubMaster|talk]]) 17:11, 30 January 2014 (PST)
 
: No. The wiki is for OFFICIAL content. Only valve can come up with the names. Not the community as it is considered speculation. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 17:32, 30 January 2014 (PST)
 
 
 
== The Real Name of the Scout ==
 
 
 
In the TF2 comic "A Smissmas Story", on page 4, you can see the Soldier yelling "JUDAS!" towards Scout. Could this actually be the Scout's real name? [[User:Fawful117|Fawful117]] ([[User talk:Fawful117|talk]]) 07:04, 17 March 2014 (PDT)
 
: We've had many speculations on this, however we're assuming its not as its not really valid proof as of now. It needs to be solid evidence, not speculation. Also to add, If you did a bombing, you wouldn't yell their real name. The scout doesn't name the soldier properly either so its just massive speculation regarding the Scout's name. Better to wait for Valve to announce it properly. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 07:05, 17 March 2014 (PDT)
 
:: Well, we can't really use Soldier as the source for information on this because he isn't too smart, and can be a little delusional sometimes. [[User:Legomaster445|Legomaster445]] ([[User talk:Legomaster445|talk]]) 20:03, 17 July 2014 (PDT)
 
::: Isn't the idea that Soldier is calling the Scout "Judas" because he betrayed them as Judas did in the Bible? I'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with his name in the slightest. [[User:CaptainCupcakez|CaptainCupcakez]] ([[User talk:CaptainCupcakez|talk]]) 02:40, 27 July 2014 (PDT)
 
 
 
== melee swing time ==
 
 
 
nowhere on his page does it mention that the scouts melee swings faster than everyone elses. this is pretty important and should be mentioned.

: We don't note the scout's melee swing is faster is because it varies on the melee weapon he uses. We can't assume its all constant. That and its kind of obvious just by pulling it out and and holding down the left mouse button. Simple comparisons. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 07:56, 9 April 2014 (PDT)
 
 
 
::any aspect of the game is "obvious" if you go into the game and test it yourself. the point of an encyclopedia is to be a source of knowledge /without/ having to test something yourself. the fact that it is based on his the weapon used is a good reason, but it should still be mentioned that a stock scout swings faster. also which weapons slow him down? i didnt know there were any.

== Scout Weapons - Soda Popper ==
 
 
 
In the listing for all of the Scout's weapons, the Soda Popper is still listed with the negative attribute "No random Critical hits.". However, as of the patch from the 7th February, the "no random critical hits" attribute was removed (Undocumented though). Someone should correct that.

== Mad Milk ==
 
 
 
As seen on the Sniper's page, the jarate '''Partially''' nullifies a spy's cloak. The Mad Milk undergoes the same process, however, it is stated that it completely nullifies it, I feel that's not the case, would anyone else agree?

== Outdated information in Health table ==
 
 
 
Currently, the table is listing the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol on the table, despite its current stats not changing the Scout's base health stat. It looks a little redundant, and I'm too afraid to edit the table myself or without a go-ahead from someone. Does it need to be changed?

== Prinny machete ==
 
 
 
Why do we have 2 seperate prinny machete's in the weapon table? I see that one is crafted and the other is promotional, but shouldn't we just have ! prinny machete and have it say crafted/promotional like the other weapons?

==Illiterate?==
 
 
 
Why does the trivia say Scout can't read? He is seen reading in the comics (In the jail cell) and he has proven that he can write in some capacity (Writing "blah blah blah" and "BANG" on his picture of the spy in the ED short is the first thing that comes to mind).  The only time he can't is when he has just been hit on the head with a giant heavy box falling from plane height. Don't you think this could just be a joke rather than an actual problem the Scout has?

:If you look at this [http://www.teamfortress.com/tf02_unhappy_returns/#f=24 page], you can see that he is reading a book for "Young Readers".  We could say he has a basic elementary knowledge of reading.  I will make the changes.

Ok, but what about [https://puu.sh/uFr65/71fb63a264.jpg] [https://puu.sh/uFr6w/8da6ab147e.jpg] [https://puu.sh/uFr7d/cebfcb5555.jpg] these which all show him reading full books in the ED short which is made by Valve and not a third party. Also considering that teufort is a town populated entirely by people with brain damage its quite possible that Young Readers were the only thing available.[[User:Vibri|Vibri]] ([[User talk:Vibri|talk]]) 05:44, 12 March 2017 (PDT)

::Regardless of the content of the books he is still quite confidently reading them and he has a pencil which implies he is taking notes and understands what he is reading. I think basing a characters ability to read on an interaction where they have been hit on the head,are quite possibly trying to read upside down judging from the crate and is in a comic made by a third party is a mistake.[[User:Vibri|Vibri]] ([[User talk:Vibri|talk]]) 12:27, 12 March 2017 (PDT)
 
 
 
:::First of all, make sure to write colons before your response to indent it. Second of all, he must've been hit pretty hard to not know to at least read right-side-up. The comic wasn't third party, either, it was made by Valve too. Also, "quite confidently reading them" and "taking notes and understands" can not be completely assumed from the comic. We see him looking at the open book in deep thought, but we can't be sure if he's struggling to read or if he's even reading it right. ⇒[[File:Leaderboard class spy.png|16px|link=]] [[User:Anyar|<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: TF2 Build">Anyar</span>]] ([[User_talk:Anyar|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Anyar|contributions]]/[[User:Anyar/No|giveaway]]) 13:12, 12 March 2017 (PDT)

::::::From what I have seen, the update comics/movies take place in a "different universe" because they don't follow the comic lore.  Also, given the fact that he can't pronounce "machine", and since he is known to "read" books, we can say that he knows how to read at the least a little bit.  That is why I put down "basic elementary knowledge of reading".

== Dog Tag 
 
The Dog Tag saw in Scout's Neck. There is nothing but probably in there Scout's name, adress and number written (probably).
 
If you want to buy it you can buy it from Valve Store for 12 dollars. [[User:ByHiOne|ByHiOne]] ([[User talk:ByHiOne|talk]]) 16:55, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
