+1 OP ... thanks for the love. Some really good ideas, by the way.
As for "Shared Vision" for Scouts ... I'm strongly opposed.
If I want to share what I see, I'll describe it on coms or pop it with my Scanner.
The last thing I want is more EZ mode ARs shooting over my shoulder as I try to sneak up behind a target. |

What about having that be an option then? Do you want your scout to share info with the team or not. This could cater to whatever playstyle
As is, the majority of CQC Scouts run Scanners.
Scan-Assisted WPs means even more Scouts will run a Scanner.
Two equipment slots (and enough CPU/PG to use them) would mean nearly all Scouts would run a Scanners.
Shared Vision would be redundant, if included alongside a second equipment slot.
"Optional" shared vision would equate to a Scout's decision to Scan. |

Your scanner isn't always out, i'm just saying, don't you'd think it would be nice to have the option.
It'd be a "nice option" but if we had to choose a buff ...
Because we'll likely only gonna get one between now and Christmas ...
Most of us would choose something else every time. |

Question though, why do you guys always keep asking for more equipment slots if a scout is supposed to be a light quick moving thing
To answer your question directly, speed doesn't matter versus today's omnipotent, aim-assisted AR.
The last time Scouts were balanced was in Chromosome, when speed did in fact matter.
Some would say Scouts were OP, citing their ability speed tank and evade fire in close quarters.
To these claimants I'd ask, if the Scout were OP why was his KDR so comparatively low to other frames?
For whatever reason -- likely a result of AR-514's QQ -- Scouts were nerfed across a variety of metrics in Uprising:
Decreased Stamina
Decreased Speed
Decreased Slot Configs
Decreased Equipment Slots
Decreased eHP
Decreased PG/CPU
Decreased Base Scan Radius
Decreased Evasive Capability
Decreased OHK Potential
As you can see, we've lost alot of ground.
A return to Chromosome standards would be ideal, but we'd settle for less.
We aren't seeking EZ. We are seeking balance. We've been patient.

Hmm I see
1) What do you say though that generally speaking a scout is supposed to be the hidey sneaky class
2) and if you wanted to be kicking down doors its not the right frame to use and
3) complaining you cant be invincible while running since
4) hit detection is now much better and
5) complaining you cant one hit kill everyone makes you sound a bit ridiculous
1) Absolutely correct. We hide, sneak, flank, assassinate, escape.
2) Also correct. Any Scout will tell you that running head-long into combat is a bad idea.
3) Invincibility!? No one has asked for this ... except for maybe Tankers :P
4) Hit detection is still quite broken. SG's and Knives miss at 0-5 meters while AR's hit at 90 meters.
5) How many point-blank shotgun blasts to the back or face do you feel you should be able to survive?

Past few times I've seen N1ck, he's been in a Scout suit. |
