Talk:Scout

I added a history section and threw together some flavor text for the scout that reflects the changes it has undergone since 1.00. I hope no one minds. If you do, edit/delete as needed, ESPECIALLY if something doesn't fit the storyline in the empires forum. (I haven't read alot of that forum... so sue me.)

Feel free to change the name Blue-Shirt Zealots to any other Empires member that was memorable as a scout. That's a reference to one BlueShirtsFan, whom I remember fighting in scout-to-scout sniper battles in 1.01. The thing about Bodrick is a reference to the Jeep races and the possibility of jeep race maps.

Has the scout rifle's stats changed at all from 1.03 (ish) to 1.08 RC 13? I know RC 1 nerfed it something fierce, but I wrote that history section about the current weaker scout rifle under the impression that the current rifle isn't as powerful. At any rate, if it were up to me, I'd leave that section as-is to reflect the fact that current rifles are more balanced and thus the scout rifle _seems_ less powerful in comparison, even though it's not. --The Buttery Lobster 17:28, 21 June 2007, (EST)

It was nerfed but later reverted to the same damage (110) --Arklansman 17:43, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

I'll say it again-- if anyone thinks adding a history section isn't appropriate or they think they can write a better fake history, change whatever you want, I don't mind at all. Also, and more importantly, can someone find a first name for Bodrick and put it in the history instead of "X(?)" because that annoys me.--The Buttery Lobster 18:29, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
