I love those rifles too , but I also love the scout class in general . There ' s nothing about the scout class that restricts you to longrange fighting . In particular the flare gun is very handy for when you need to get up close and personal knowing the exact whereabouts of your enemy will give you an edge and help you get the first shots in , helping out when it comes to oneonones against an opponent with better CQC weapons . If anything just the title Scout implies that he should be active and on the front lines rather than pussying around at the back I don ' t understand why so many people play like this <| sep |> You ain ' t lying . I drove through Jackson once . It reminded me of the underground in Demolition Man mixed with Madea goes to jail .
