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.
