Second guy comes in [CalAssault] try's to hack gets dropped. [Didn't have remotes] Third time, two Minja's come in, one to hck the other to kill me. Pirate

Kill the one hacking first and a well cooked grenade for the second. Cool

Fourth time, a heavy, couldn't get him the first time [there was an uplink on the upper level] he waits for it to finish before he drives off. He drives off, check for remotes, hack it, wait. He comes back to try to counter hack, I kill him. THEN THEY SEND TWO HEAVIES AND TANK AFTER ME. The best part, A FRIENDLY TANK SHOWS UP AND BLOWS UP THE TANK AND THE ONE HEAVY I DIDN'T KILL. And we won the battle. Cool

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 4727	Posted - 2014.01.12 00:07:00 - [11] - Quote Scouts aren't given quick speed and low HP to defend objectives, in my opinion. My mantra is "Not my war." When I scout, my job is to scout the area, kill defending enemies, and hack the objective. From that point on, that objective is "not my war." It is no longer my job, and it falls into the hands of the assaults, logis, and heaves to defend it. If the second I leave it the enemy starts hacking it, that is not my fault because it was not my responsibility, and I'm already onto the next objective. Suits more suited for defending should learn how to do so. But that is just my view point with scouts. ARC Commander CPM Info and Q&A - Status: Open

But, if no one else is doing it, and we're losing because of that ONE null canon, someone has to. And defend until I can't defend anymore, but I never forget to have fun while doing it.

Lucrezia LeGrand 203	Posted - 2014.01.12 06:40:00 - [17] - Quote While it makes sense to hack a location and move on, if it's only one tiny red berry counter hacking, it would be worth it to go back and kill the red berry. You get 50 for the kill, and you increase the chances of getting 100 from a successful hack. But yeah, being a scout is such an adrenaline rush! ya- hoi hoi
PARKOUR PRACTIONER Redline Defense Force Seekers of the Unseen 281	Posted - 2014.01.12 06:40:00 - [18] - Quote Basically it was like, 'Hes hacking, ok I run out kill him before he finishes' run out misses the first shot he stops hacking and looks me 'oh **' SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY. ok hes dead do your rounds. doing rounds hears a LAV crap 'HIDE OR RUN OR JUST STAND THERE' 'hides' he hacks 'noooo' theres two of them' kill hacker first cook nade for the other guy. LAV rolls up ** its a heavy with Duvolle, shooting him in the head, he breaths on me and I die. PTSD, that's where it comes from. Dropship Surfer I will never stop killing you.

Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 976	Posted - 2014.01.12 08:29:00 - [21] - Quote Nice one! I do this quite frequently.... I hate hacking an objective and leaving it.... if I wait around and no one is spawning in to defend it then I just resolve myself to try to hold it for as long as I can. It's not a glorious job, especially behind enemy lines, but every minute counts if you are going for the win.... Nothing feels better than fighting off ever increasing numbers of enemies.... it's nice when you die on that final round, when they've sent 4-6 guys for you, and you start seeing that due to the resource draw on the enemy team your boys are finally hacking some other red objectives elsewhere on the map. The ONLY thing that makes me feel better than the above is when they just flat-out give up and let you have it. Try again against an easier opponent... you may not want to enter the home of a ninja uninvited....

Suits more suited for defending should learn how to do so. But that is just my view point with scouts. Actually, I think scouts are ideally suited for point defense of outlier objectives, not because of their speed or low HP but because of their low profiles. It is easy to hide nearby and pick off attacker after attacker who think the point is empty and easy hacking points. More often than not if you just continuously hack and run (which is sometimes the only real option), the points just get hacked right back or even get rehacked before the hack goes through, which is really quite pointless. Some of my most enjoyable matches have been those where I've been solo guarding a point on the outside and taken out double figures of enemies before finally being overrun or otherwise being able to hold it for the full match. It's great when I'm running with a decent squad and they can keep the complex at least under contention because we only need one person (me) defending an outside objective to give us the upper hand.

I've never defended a point without squad before, and it was actually MORE fun without a squad. But after a while of defending a point [with squad] they just let us have it. Then they sent half the team and two tanks after us, and we still held them off. But eventually we got overrun like something of a zombie movie. Dropship Surfer I will never stop killing you.

Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 418	Posted - 2014.01.12 17:37:00 - [24] - Quote Scout suit + shotty + REs = defensive ninja. This is entirely how I play as a scout; get to the nearest enclosed objective (that offers a place to hide out of side) and set up shop. Place REs around the node or the CRU (if there's one nearby) and then you wait. And wait. If I'm lucky enough to have a supply depot close, I'll find somewhere to throw down an uplink and nanohive. Personal best was going 12-0 in a match while defending the same node. Now that the ridiculous margin of error message has (apparently) been removed, it makes this style of gameplay a viable option again. Life is killing me.

They can just stand near the point and wait for you to hack before going in for the kill. Now we have to sweep for REs and cloaked scouts.

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 2759	Posted - 2014.01.12 19:13:00 - [28] - Quote Good stuff. Glad you got some pointers from my video. I do need to update it though as installations/objectives have lost their insane vision but for a scout that isn't nearly a big deal. You just have to be on your toes more. Solo point defense is one of the funnest/exhilarating things in the game. You may not be able to hold that point forever but 30 seconds to a few minutes could mean all the difference in the world in the long run. Keep being a menace. o7 Youtuber.
