Basically, coming to tf2 from cod4 where I achieved a good level (academy) beating a lot of pre-invite teams and been in teams with big names such as Dignitas Mick and Lukzar, well anyway enough of that… I’m looking to get into tf2 and if I get good at it before august will be going to i43 for tf2 if I can find a team if not I will go i43 for cod4… anyway just looking for tips and a config that I could use for my tf2 that would help me out seeing as I’m clueless at the moment… any sort of help is welcome, thank you :) kTo.
edit: I play scout, I have an average of 5-8 ping on europe servers :)
Could do with a good scout config does anyone have any I could have?

If you have a basic idea of the game mechanics, give me a shout on IRC (CanFo) and I will invite you to the pixel pickup.
Make friends there, play mixes and join a team :)
Welcome! :)
You may want to have a look at this thread: http://etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12510/
Thanks lads, tf2 community seems to be so welcoming already :) spoke to WildCard from YYT and he seems like a top bloke, the same with CanFo.

Ye this +1.
Our invite rules are bassically just to keep public players out, we’re usually quite happy to invite people who’ve played other games competitively at a decent level as all they need is a bit of experience to get the hang of it.
One nice thing I think you’ll find in TF2 is that people are usually a lot more sociable and polite with each other, not saying its a utopia where everyone is perfect, but it’s definitely a lot better. Anyways have a laugh, it’s a great game and I’m sure you’ll love getting into it. :)

Just turn the viewmodels off for the scattergun + enter your steam id on etf2l if u want to get a team.

http://www.youtube.com/user/CommFT look for 20-30 min videos to see some nice 6v6 games

Yes, no viewmodels for scout (or any class tbh) is reccomended. You focus easier without having a weapon taking up your screen.
The default crosshair is pretty bad. The shape of it is okay but transparent-white colour? No thanks. Check out Arons crosshair switcher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP6BqMirUFM
If you dont bother with visual effects, check out these fps configs made by Chris http://www.fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/configs/
Movement script by povohat that makes dodging easier http://ozfortress.com/showpost.php?p=624355&postcount=1
Imo if youre new to the game you shouldnt try too hard watching top games beeing casted as you mostly will not understand whats going on or why x player is doing y.
And dont be afraid to ask! Most people in this community are friendly :D
edit: If you havent changed your fov, change it from 70(default) to 90. I aslo reccomend using m_rawinput 1, it reads your mouse movement more accurate and is what the command specifies, raw input. (I think rawinput will fuck up your game if youre using xfire overlay). Reccomended connection/net settings are also in Chris configs

If you wanna spar as scout on whiskas or some other duelling map, hit me on steam :)

Dont use a movement script, and dont use a viewmodel. Watch some top level scouts demo get a rough idea of what they are doing and then play some pickups :)
Nothing wrong with using that particular movement script. It doesn’t give any advantages, just makes moving feel different. The only downside is if you plan to go to a non-BYOC LAN, then you may be forced to play without it.
Also, I recommend you set viewmodel_fov 0 if using no viewmodels, as it gets rid of the bullet tracers, another distraction. I also use a modified surfaceproperties.txt to get rid of the dust when firing at the ground/wall. http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=39676
You don’t have to play without viewmodels though, sometimes I hit better with them, sometimes better without. Quite a few high level scouts play with them on as well, so it’s all down to personal preference.
I don’t mind sharing my cfg with you, or going through some basic pointers for the popular maps, so if you want add me on steam through my ETF2L profile (click on my Steam ID).

Do not use the movement script because it might make a bad effect on the hit rec as if you want to stand still you have to realese all of them to stand still it dosen’t really make it harder but i do not recommend them
Also add me on steam and i could help out :)
PS. Viewmodels are good own preference really i like them being on ;)
