==knockback or knock back?==

{{Talk archive
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?

Are knockback and knock back interchangeable? [[User:Atty|Atty]] 13:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

: ''Knockback'' sounds and looks better in my opinion, but wait until someone else says something about it --[[User:ScoutKast|ScoutKast]] 20:47, 29 July 2011 (PDT)
 
: I'd say "knockback" sounds better as well. Best let sleeping dogs lie.  [[User:Ryftt|Ryftt]] 00:53, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
==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)
 
 
 
==Very fast running?==
 
It said very fast running :P just fixed that. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:TheChickenMonkey|TheChickenMonkey]]''' ([[User talk:TheChickenMonkey|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/TheChickenMonkey|contribs]]) 14:22, 7 October 2010</small>

==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?

== "Anyone up for Taco's?" ==
 
 
 
Well, according to the comics. The Scout likes tacos. Now i dont know if this is actually a trivia thing to add but i just mentioned it :D [[File:Stunned.png|45px]] [[User:Ravecrib9t4|<span style="font-family:TF2 Build; color:#990099 ">The Noble Scout</span>]] <sub><sub>([[User talk:Ravecrib9t4|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Ravecrib9t4|C]])</sub></sub> 14:53, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:The question should be: Who ''doesn't'' like tacos?  [[User:Ryftt|Ryftt]] 01:00, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== "Atomizer" ==
 
 
 
Should the 10 damage on the third jump be labbled as a positive? I know it is on the blog, but is it really a positive attribute? <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:MEDUNN|MEDUNN]]''' ([[User talk:MEDUNN|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/MEDUNN|contribs]]) </small>
 
:It is unknown whether that damage will apply to the Scout or others, so we're leaving it as-is. Please sign all your comments on talk pages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Thank you. --{{User:Firestorm/sig}} 05:23, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 
::The damage is applied to himself, so it should be a negative [[User:Sondii789x|Sondii789x]] 06:59, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== #1 fan ==
 
 
 
The in-game reading for the scout lists "Bonk Boy" as an item in the #1 Fan's item set. The mask from the poster. Just figured it should have a posted pic here.
 
 
 
-First post and I feel like I'm being helpful YAY

==Winger is automatic==
 
The winger is automatic, should I add that to the abilities and trivia?
 
--[[User:BsiGio|BsiGio]] 15:18, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
: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. (The exceptions are the Scattergun, Shotgun, Frontier Justice, and Family Business, if the fire button is held, only one round is loaded, then fired.) [[User:DJNerd|DJNerd]] 20:24, 21 July 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Scout's Bloody (Sweaty?) Armpits ==
 
My brother noticed today that the Scout has bloody armpits, and he was playing on an official Valve server. I don't often play Scout; has this always been the case? [[User:InsanityOnABun|InsanityOnABun]] 13:12, 5 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
:It might have been because he was shot and the random blood splatters happened to be on his armpits. Gross.  [[User:Ryftt|Ryftt]] 01:01, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Missing Gallery Pic ==
 
 
 
The gallery is missing the jack of clubs card from Poker Night that the Scout is on. [[User:SS2R|SS2R]] 11:02, 12 September 2011 (PDT)
 
: Done. [[User:SS2R|SS2R]] 12:13, 13 September 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Smissmas Story, scouts name? ==
 
 
 
In the new smissmass story comic, the blu soldier refers to scout as "Judas", possibly his name? I thought it might just be a "joke" or an insult in refrence to Judas from the 12 apostles, who in similar manner to scout betrays his "friends", so I've yet to add it. [[User:EvilHolyGuy|EvilHolyGuy]] 20:37, 15 December 2011 (PST)
 
 
 
Edit: it seems someone already has, so I guess it's pretty much accepted then. [[User:EvilHolyGuy|EvilHolyGuy]] 20:39, 15 December 2011 (PST)
 
:The Demoman refers to the Soldier as Brutus Benedict Arnold Judas Bloody Iscariot. I highly doubt this is his real name.

::That's what I was thinking, it really seemed like more of an insult than anything. *shrug* [[User:EvilHolyGuy|EvilHolyGuy]] 20:48, 15 December 2011 (PST)
 
:::It's undoubtedly just an insult, as the Scout had just "grassed" on him in court.
