When I turned around and killed you that was just spider senses.

No. Precision enhancement level 5 FTW!

seriously man. I just felt that creepy feeling. I was as surprised as you were. I got the jump because my adrenaline was already up.

How you ask? Remove active scanners. I think it would be cool to have them scout for their squad, and let their team know where the enemy is, rather than using wallhack. It also adds to the realism to the game, but that is probably irrelevant...

How about they refresh the scout suits instead?

If you don't like being scanned then put SP into profile reduction and run some dampeners in your scout suit...you'll be fine. There is no need to remove or nerf tools or options that other folks use to make your preferred style better or in some cases viable at all.

I'm not a scout player but I'm a big advocate for them. I think the answer is refreshing the scouts (notice I purposely didn't say buff) so that their roles are viable and they have a valued role on the battlefield.

If you have that feeling around me it'll be too late. *slices you with Nova Knives*

I'm fine with scanners. It's just they are too OP with the wallhack thing if you know what I mean hehe

Scout snipers have a role. It's called sniping and relaying information. There's no need to impose a removal or even nerf to scanners for that.

I've been in many PC battles where a well placed sniper held down an outside objective by himself while relaying enemy troop movements to us. It already works fine. The problem is most snipers in pub matches don't communicate at all. Removing scanners won't force them to buy mics or join squads to relay information.

Well, bind it to the suit's precision, and make it just one very short burst. That way you would have to tailor the suit to make the scanner good.

Yea the active scanner has too many advantages, I mean the thing is capable of scanning over 100m away so you have no need for a scout on the ridge giving you any info because you already know when everything is coming. Adding in the twirl and scanners scan over 30000m area every time they scan for awful long times.

I'm not saying scanners need removed but damn that is hugely powerful. I know there is somewhat of a counter to scanning but still.

I wish recon was more important to this game, would love to hear a sniper relaying info and overwatching. I wish my passive scanning scout could be of use rather than be told by my squad that they are worthless skills because active scanners put passive to shame. I wish a cloak scout infiltrated only to let your squad know what is ahead, not merely as a cheap kill tactic.
