Looks like I have no choice but to enter the bland world of AR. Scouts are done, at least for now. The new aim "assist" makes scouts nearly useless, even in CQC. I disagree with aim assist, but I understand CCP is trying to balance ds3 and kb/m, which is fine. Unfortunately this isn't balance. What CCP needs to do is rework aim "assist" to just assist rather than do all the work. |

Y'know, you could always try not charging into a wall of gunfire in a paper mache suit. New scan mechanics favor the lone wolf scout. Be sneaky. |

Strange - I'm speccing into scouts due to the lack of team intel sharing, and it is working for me pretty well... |

But he plays a scout like its an assault; he probably played logi like it was an assault too, before it was changed to match it's intended goal... |

Aim assist is OP in cqc especially hip fire, you just can't miss a quick and nimble a scout anymore. With that said the improved hit detection is alittle too good and probably needs toning down abit, if thats even possible. I can only see one outcome the be all and end all for scouts. For far too long they have suffered and it doesn't seem like ending |

I don't understand the need to use a KB/M on a PS3. DS3 should be standard for everyone and people who suck at it can learn to cope with it instead of being coddled like a little baby with their binky. |

LOL at charging a wall of gunfire in a paper mache suit. I see versions of that phrase everywhere and wonder if you A-holes just assume everyone else who plays video games is mentally challenged with the IQ of a rock. A lot of us have been playing scout for quite a while, we know that we have no health. It would help a lot if after running ALL the way around the map, to get behind the main line, we had a weapon that could harm you in some way. Shotgun? Knives? Neither hit. Sniper? Please, with at most 3 damage mods and terrible fitting restrictions, this is better left to the popular suits.
The problem is that medium suits can do a scouts job better. Run faster, have better profile dampening, and equip a better weapon all at the same time.
So, if we get a little bittchy, throw a bit of a fit, when yet another update has dug us even further into the ground, and all you can add is "don't die," please, do us all a favor and STFU. |

That's cute. You should try putting that AR down and sneak up on someone with a shotgun. Not just any shotgun, but a CCP shotgun that shoots butterflies and pixie dust |

I feel your pain bro. Never before have I been so tempted to stray from the righteous scout ways and succumb to the evil that is the medium AR. Rust help us all, 1.4 will be a tough build for us. |

I run shotgun scout with no shields or armor and three complex damage mods. I run circles around control points and blast people who can't see me. The aim assist has helped them a bit but as long as there is ample cover, my glorious speed protects me. Yes I die. But not as much as the people looking down the business end of my shotgun. Even with the current shotgun hit detection ridiculousness I do just fine. |

To be fair gents, scan mechanics ARE a buff to scouts. HOWEVER, the secondary effect of removal of turn speed cap combined with new aim assist is a huge nerf to scouts. Seriously I'm loving my brick-tank Cal Logi now so this is not a QQ, just a fact. HTFU is understood, but "scouts KDR just got hit hard" is just a fact. |

I was talking about the hit detection issue not aim assist. ( if you we're referring to my post) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VTyBKrJASro&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVTyBKrJASro. That video is example. |

They've said they would fix the shotty several times. It's only gotten worse and worse. I've actually fired all 8 rounds into a hiding sniper at point blank, and no damage. I just pulled out my SMG and then killed him. |

Well, many pilots I know (including me) uses light frames, so many of us have it doubly bad |

I have been reading threads all day that assume far too much about play styles, and commit the sin of willful ignorance in numbers unseen out of politics, but then I saw your post, and it for a moment made me feel that someday my shotgun scout will shine true.

On a PC I would agree with you, but this game isn't being marketed as a PC game now is it? Look I love a good PC FPS as much as anyone else, I played Counter Strike: Source for years and a bit of Counter Strike: GO so believe me I know what a FPS game on a PC is about. That shouldn't be the case on a console.
EDIT: Especially, since it creates such an inequality among players. |

LITERALLY!
but yup scouts are are done and........
The scouts are a dieing race. They're strengths will only strengthen the logi. Join us or perish. resistance is futile.
......... foxbat 072 was at least smart enough to abandon the scouts' before the great scout massacres take place. |
