Huh?

You played Min Scout, and pretty poorly at that.

I did see you exhibit pretty poor gun game early on (and, frankly, throughout the entire video) missing what looked like a cal scout running in a straight line, begging to be killed. I also saw you get wasted pretty quickly by a cal scout with a much better gun game than you -- which is as it should be, after all, you had less than 400hp and barely scratched him before you died. The only kills you got were early on against a heavy that someone else was helping kill, and later with stationary targets or targets coming directly at you -- about as easy as they get.

I saw absolutely nothing crying for a nerf to the cal scout.

I did listen to it mostly with audio off. Did I miss a point you were trying to make? Did you link the wrong video?

You shouldnt waste peoples time dude. And honestly Im a Youtuber and understand what you were trying to do here. But I should tell you that attrating views from people who just turn it off right away wont get you what your looking for.

Love,

Go to 1:41 and change video speed to one fourth. The last burst he fires it looks like he hits the scout and you see a blue flash, but the death screen shows that no damage was taken. I might be mistaken but it certainly looks like he hit and no damage was done.

I just did watch it a few more times (although I'm not sure how to get it to go 1/4 speed), and I agree with you, he did appear to hit the cal scout. But here's the thing...before the kill screen it shows he was hit and his shields went down a touch...please take another look and pay particular attention to his HP bars -- they clearly go down, and I suspect Glay was running a bit more than the 235 shields he finished the fight with. Did I miss something?

On a related note, Glay Fox is a pretty decent scout, but had he been really good, the OP would have been dead after his first volley -- he had no idea he was there (despite him being right there visible before being run past) and Glay had the OP dead to rights....he just couldn't keep a bead on him initially, and finished him off a second or so later.

And if he had that much trouble with a 500 or so HP cal scout, he really would have had trouble with a 700 hp gal scout with a CR much less a shotgun.

Let's also keep in mind that the hit flash does not indicate a hit but only that your console thinks it's a hit. If the server deems otherwise then you're SOL.

Never depend on the impact effect to verify a hit. Only enemy health is a reliable indicator because your console does not predict damage/health values.

I checked health before and after the hit, in both cases it was 235 shields. A quick google should show you how to change video speed. If you do it it's very easy to see

Now that is quite odd. The bar is saying one thing, but the numbers aren't jiving. Hmmm....

Tell me, how does one arrive at 235 shields? Is it a "natural" number for shield extenders on a cal scout, or is it a number that's only achievable by being hit? Anyone know? I seem to recall a few of my cal scout fits with this number (2x complex shield extenders?), but I'm not sure.
