Talk:Force-A-Nature

New kill-icon

The FaN was given a new kill-icon in the engie update (as was Natascha, Lugermorph, Big Kill, and bleeding deaths). Steviestar3 02:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, we're all working on it (but you can halp) — WindPower 02:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Is this really worth noting?

"*Many members of the community dislike the Force-A-Nature due to the fact that players tend to use it as part of their griefing tactics, its increased spread and knockback. As such, servers tend to remove it from the list of weapons a player can use on them." I didn't realize we documented butthurt whiners on the Steam Forums. -KazooieBanjo 23:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Graphic Glitch

I don't know if it happens to other players, but I have been experiencing a really weird glitch where the two barrels of the FaN seem to lower down with the handle, while the two shells and that switch-like thing on the top (safety switch?) appear under the handle. http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/File:Fan_glitch_1.png This only happens when I taunt or when I see it on the loadout.

Ash's Boomstick

The FaN, now that I look at it with more detention, looks like Ash's Remington in Evil Dead 3. 12 gage double-barreled Remington, as Ash says. Is it worth it to point it out? (Not necessarily the Evil Dead thing, just the fact that is a Remington) Space is not wheel chair accessible 22:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

No. Saying that it looks like something is irrelevant and, frankly, just not trivia. It's just an observation. If you knew for a fact it were a Remington it might be interesting, but for all we know it could just be based off some artist's generic idea of a sawed-off shotgun. Trivia should follow the Trivia Style Guide as much as possible. -- -- 03:59, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Fact Errors

This article contains information that has been incorrectly fact checked, such as the parts that state that Bullfighters are Spanish only, several countries such as Spain, Portugal, southern France and several Latin American countries are entertained by this sport.

All that physics education finally paid off

Players take knockback distance inversely proportionate to the distance between them and the scout, ithankyou Cueburn 03:41, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

True, but many people will have no idea what this means. "based on" conveys this in a simple manner which most will understand. --Mechlord 03:49, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

While your statement is more accurate, Cueburn, many people will not know what "Inversely proportional" means. We have to cater to the everyman here. --Firestorm 03:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Just some ideas to add

I would add them myself but they might just get removed so im checking on the talk pages of things first. you can also use the FAN first then proform the scouts double jump which can be counted as the 3rd jump(triple jump). also is it just me, but when you fire one shell and reload, the other (unfired) shell gets ejected and you loose that shell as it becomes discarded from use...--Awesome Weegee 20:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Both are already mentioned in the article. "This can be used for an effective 'third jump' along with the inherent double jump ability" and "Reloading always ejects two shells, even after firing a single round." Natemckn 20:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

should it imply that "ammo is lost" due to the unused shell being ejected with the used on?--Awesome Weegee 01:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't we EXPLAIN the taunt animation glitch?

One of the criterea for trivia to be considered "good"is for it to make the viewer think "Wow, I didn't know that!". I think that maybe we should explain why minor bugs happen, so I believe we should explain why the FaN looks so strange when taunting. For those of you who don't know, the scout has different animations for everything when using the FaN because of the gun's different model build in comparison to the Scattergun, what with the model practically being cut in halve in order for the reloading animation to work. Valve simply mixed up what animation the Scout uses while taunting with the FaN. Anybody with me on this? Hi. 20:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Clipping issues are not trivia. -- Mechlord 20:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

See aslo Soda Popper

The Soda Popper is pretty much the same as the FaN, so there should be a link to it in the See also section. Anyone agree? --ScoutKast 20:51, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

• No, because it's in the scoutnav box just below the "See Also" section. That's my take, am I incorrect? Atonement 21:01, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

• Might be worth noting in the trivia that the Soda Popper is intended to be a rebuilt FaN but yeah, it doesn't need to be put into the see also section Evang7 21:31, 29 July 2011 (PDT)
