How does one rocketjump accidentally? Spychecks?

Close range combat to be precise. It's probably best to switch to the shotty or equalizer but I love using rocket launchers in general.

[The Scout]

Jump around alot. Rocket jump, regular jump, just jump alot. Annoys people.

Pyro is practically unplayable unless you're move exclusively by jumping. Running gets you killed before you get in flame-thrower range.

I sometimes play on the Bay12 server but, I always have to deal with some pretty bad ping that makes me lag at just the right moment for a usually easy to run away situation. I seem to stick around with the find me a match button as they usually don't lag to badly for me. Do we have an American Bay12 server? I'd totally be in for that. (I'm just assuming the current one is British.)

Awesome.
Best thing to ever happen to Notch? Probably.

Um...
Have the scout weapons been buffed or something, mainly the Bodyshot damage.... I was healing a Heavy and one scout shot through the heals BY HIMSELF as he ran around the heavy. That and has Medics healing speed been decreased, I have the "Numbers on damage/heal" showing and the speed that I was healing that medic was so slow it wasn't funny...

Nothing in the patch notes indicate either. A scout can actually dish out pretty decent damage at point blank if he can aim properly. It bugs me, since I can't aim for shit as scout.

When I play play Scout, I love to kill heavies, and especially buffed heavies. The glass cannon vs. the meat shield.

Fact time!

The scout's scattergun is somewhat similar to the shotgun, except that it has boosted rampup, that is, it can do a lotta damage at close range if you hit really well. It'll do about 108 damage per shot with a perfect meatshot, enough to twoshot most enemies. The aiming, of course, is the real issue here.

For the medic's healing thing, the rate of healing depends on how long it's been since the target was last injured. If he's just been hurt, it'll be around 24 hp/s, and it increases from that up to something like 72 hp/s, if I recall correctly. This is to prevent heavymedics from being too overpoweringly powerful, while still making going to the medic a better option than suicide and respawning. The medic's self-heal works in a similar way, increasing in strength as the medic goes on without being hit. This is an old feature, by the way, but it isn't very obvious if you don't know about it.

Fact time over.

Is it just me or does the Kritzkrieg seem to charge much quicker than usual.

I just recently got into the game myself, and I have a few questions. What sort of latency is normal? Lower is better, right? Because I get around 180 to 200 on the official DFC server.

Also, Steam keeps saying I can't friend people or comment in communities until I have a game in my account. Do free games just not count?

Here's my steam ID, if anyone wants it:

200 ping is... bad. Pretty darn bad, actually. I prefer 50 or below, while I consider 100 to be playable.

(And that's assuming you mean ping, not latency. Ping is defined as the round-trip time; latency is the one-way time. The game displays ping on the scoreboard. If you actually meant latency... that's downright terrible!  )
