Let's be honest it's easy mode. At least in MAG it was only around 30 meters and not lol200meters. If you really care about tactics please take it out (that and an overall limit on nanohives and uplinks).

It only displays the targets to your squadmates and the poor saps who scan only get like 15 points,

I could understand them reduceing the scanner strength, I don't run scout but I feel bad for those poor guys in their body paint armor.

lol yea it only puts your whole team on blast to 6 people for up to what 26 seconds at proto? Thats legit easy mode forget AR QQ.

Scanners arnt that bad.

Their true strength is the psychological trauma that the scaned clone has to deal with after getting scanned,

First it alerts them a players near by
Second if the clone survives it probably has cancer
Years of treatment, psychologist visits and meth dealings till it gets better.

All I ask is that the annoying phrase is replaced with a glowing indecator by the ammo, this way I can treat it like my car's gas indecator and ignore it. o7 4Hire Pro 5-SR // Pro 4-SCR // Pro 3-PLC Join DIOS EX

Ivy Zalinto Bobbit's Hangmen 109	Posted - 2013.12.07 06:25:00 - [11] - Quote Keep scanners honestly. Fix the passive scanning as well so that it works in its range and checks everything around you, not just 30 degrees in front. Its a radar, not a vision module to look through walls. That being said, raise the scanning parameters to higher db for all scanners really. for the amount of sp you put into those things compared to trying to stay off them, id rather be the guy with the scanner. But im the scout... Dedicated scout. Player bodyguard Pistol supremacy.

Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 489	Posted - 2013.12.07 10:10:00 - [16] - Quote You don't have to worry overly much about getting scanned if you stick with your squad and with your team. It's much harder to pick off an entire team of scanned guys than it is one lone scanned merc. If you're trying to run off and be Rambo and don't have dampeners, it's your own fault when you get massacred. I do think the notification should be removed. It's obnoxious and does weird things if you get scanned while on a redline timer. Perhaps have your minimap borders pulse when you are lit up by a scanner, instead. This would help scouts and other dampened suits since they'd know when their light up time is over, and therefore they could move more freely, confident that their exact postion is no longer known the enemy.

Three things wrong with DUST right now Scanners Scrambler rifles Match-making. Why give your entire team a target-finder? On open maps you just get destroyed because everybody sees you in the middle of nowhere lit up like a christmas tree. Was nice grouping with you once or twice Fish but I'm done with this game until those three are fixed.
