One of the Scout's best techniques is jumping when a splash damage weapon goes off near him for a speed and height boost (an effect similar to conc-jumping). Since Soldiers are typically the Scout's worst enemy, the technique of "rocket riding" (jumping just as a rocket is about to hit the ground and using the splash damage to fly up into the air) permits a Scout to get around or above a Soldier in wide open areas. | One of the Scout's best techniques is jumping when a splash damage weapon goes off near him for a speed and height boost (an effect similar to conc-jumping).

| − | Your | + | Your Man Cannon is one of your most powerful weapons. When used properly and strategically it can help your heavier team mates get to the enemy base without loosing health. Remember it's better to have a heavy class in the enemy base with you then trying to do it by your self. |
Scouts are more powerful than people think if they are used correctly. The speed of the scout can not only help outrun opponents but also sentry guns. There are maps where a sentry gun can't even lock in on you before you are gone with the flag/done doing what you came to do. In some cases, the combination of concing and bunnyhopping will get you by the SG with only a couple shots taken. | Scouts are more powerful than people think if they are used correctly.
