First impressions were that scanning was working correctly. Finaly. After having been completely broken since Uprising first dropped, it seemed like everything was running smoothly. Enemies in scan range, who I should reasonably expect to see coming, showed up on my radar pretty much every time.
After those first few pleasant matches... NOPE.
Consistently run down by LAVs that literally never lit up EVEN WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THEM. (usually not killed by them, just that they're getting within 1m without lighting up)
Regularly "snuck up" on by Heavies with my SCANNING-BUFFED SCOUT SUIT and having them reach less than 2m from me and I don't see them even then until I turn around.
Even when the enemy in question is DEAD-CENTRE IN MY CROSSHAIRS they sometimes aren't lighting up, and frequently aren't showing on the sensor display even when they ARE marked in red.
EDIT: As I THOUGHT would be obvious from the example of a Heavy sneaking up on me, this is about passive scanning, not the Active scanners in the Equipment slot. |

Not scanner.
PASSIVE scanning. |

That **** still happens? One thing CCP got right was changing that in my opinion.
Scout's passive scanner needs a buff, thats all. We have 10m right now. (Same as all other frames)
What part of NOT KILLED BY THEM, JUST GETTING WITHIN 1M made you think I meant I was run over.
And passive scanning doesn't just need a "buff" - it needs to ACTUALLY WORK ALL THE TIME.
Even without a buff, I SHOULD SEE A HEAVY SUIT 1M AWAY FROM ME IN A SCOUT THAT'S BUILT AND SKILLED FOR PASSIVE SCANNING. |

I'm already using a precision module.
And I have the relevant skills to get more than 15m scan range.
And as mentioned, HEAVIES LITERALLY 2M AWAY MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT LIGHTING UP. I came around a corner face-to-face with a Heavy that hadn't been on my HUD or on my scanners until I could see him. I was busy shooting someone and turned around to see an enemy practically on top of me backing away from another of my teammates and even while I had them on-screen, I wasn't getting HUD or sensor indicators of the enemy in question. I had to shoot him and see the red hit markers to be sure it wasn't a friendly. |

And another... uhhh... "interesting" match just now.
ENEMY SCOUT lights up at almost the 15m limit of my scan range. I pop out and take a look, and yep, it's a Scout suit. He's even facing the other way with a Sniper Rifle. So I rush at him.
AND GET INTERCEPTED BY THE HEAVY THAT WAS STANDING PRACTICALLY RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AND DIDN'T LIGHT UP WHEN THE SCOUT DID. |
