So I've been waiting for this thing for....., well since I first heard it was coming, so to my fellow scouts:what uses have we?
Keep in mind what you can't do while cloaked:
No sniping
No equipment
Supposedly makes a sound while deactivating so knifing and shotty is out.
So what can we use it for, go.

Crossing open areas where I would otherwise be most likely sniped.

Getting into an overwatch position, decloak, take shot, cloak, swap overwatch position.
Sneaking behind the enemy with drop uplinks which will give your team a flanking spawn?

Really pro scouts are already good at not being seen until they stick a knife in your neck. The cloak will allow them to move around more freely without being shot by someone. Normally the only time I see a scout is when they are stalking another player.
The cloak will help them stalk more effectively. |

Likely uses for me include:
Shifting through groups of enemies to get myself into the position I want.
Remaining hidden while the Red masses moves past me.
Recon for an area
Remaining unseen while i drop an OB (okay this would require me to actually be in a squad, and drop an OB. But it's a use)
Promoting paranoia to destabilize "secure" areas

I seriously hope that sprint is possible while cloaked.
Anyway:
- Sprinting up to an HAV and planting remotes while they feel safe
- Sprinting into a group of people and planting remotes
- Flanking enemies. Shotgunning heavies, for example.
- Sneaking up to an LAV and headshotting the driver
- Hiding in a corner of an objective and using my superior passive scanning. Maybe even with range amplifiers
- Tracking enemies on open terrain, running into their predicted path and laying REs around corners to really **** them off.
- Tracking down snipers and shooting them in the head. I don't even need to care about flanking anymore
- Secretly installing REs on LAVs while the driver is hacking something
- Shooting plasma cannons at point blank into a room of people. Let's see if it's any use.
- Spawn camping with shotgun. It's pretty much guaranteed that spawn killed players will respawn at the same point and try to take revenge. Revenge against an invisible guy. Crysis players might be dangerous in that situation, though, considering that they'll be used to spotting subtle ripples.
I really feel that "deactives when switching weapons" actually makes the cloak far more useful. Because now you can *very* quickly deactive the thing and instantly react. Press R2 and headshot a guy. |

I think 'cloak blinking' will be a thing where you blink it on and off to lure players into traps with other waiting ambushes. |

Passive Scanning. I intend to be the guy sneaking around until you ping on my radar. One I have found your friends I'll relay that to my squad so they can scan you.
I may kill a person or 2 then go hide while waiting for my cloak to recharge. I'll make sure I keep you just far enough away with my passive. |

Without cloak, move into an objective that hasnt been hacked yet by either time, hack it, lay RE, use cloak to get away if enemies are near, find a hiding spot. Decloak and explode face if enemy hacks it.
Or, look for an enemy objective that isnt guarded, hack it, lay RE, cloak to get away if enemies are coming back, blow up face after fiding a hiding spot.
Use regular stealth to sneak up on a group of enemies, shoot one or two in the back of the head, cloak and run away. |

Do i think it's great? no.
I think it's alright, the amount of PG and CPU is immense it's not even worth skilling even with a scout, another equipment instead of cloak would probably be best, and i'm not sure but if you get scanned... you're dead.
Assassination is my thing.

The main reasons I can think of for using cloaks can be broken to three categories, in my opinion:
1. Travel
With cloaks, you can safely traverse wide open areas with little concern about being spotted, especially by those pesky snipers. It also allows you to sneak up through places where otherwise you would be easily spotted and kill high-value targets
2. Escape
Cloaks let you to escape a hairy situation a lot easier, letting you live another day to knife/shotgun/RE people
3. Confusion
Sneak up on a group, kill a guy, cloak up and retreat, watch the panic rise. Rinse and repeat. Seriously, the amount of paranoia these cloaks will instill is going to be massive

If it makes any noises while decloaking or anything that does not allow me to be a ninja then my dampeners is all I need. My equipment would go towards re and scanners. Now if they improve my ability to kill while stealthed then res and cloaks.
Armor and Shields are not the same!

Not reading any of these posts and im calling it now: cloaks are going to bring misery to this game as bad if not worse than tanks.
The game already(respectfully) has pop up issues and borderline worthless radar. Cloaks are going to be bad.
Lol knowing ccp youll only be able to see cloaked players if you drive a tank or drop ship.
You are welcome for my leadership

Fire of Prometheus wrote:Invisible commandos
I always felt that Commandos should be like commandos in C&C games.
One man armies due to their really high damage output, but squishy as hell.
A role that is best run solo, with a scan profile that is high to lure enemies into death and the ability to react to shield/armor tankers appropriately or to murder both groups and singular people alike or to go to town on infantry as well as vehicles.
Does the commando have an eq slot, by the way? Because C4 is the soul of a commando.
I wonder if there would be some way to give them additional strength for running solo, without making it a silly artificial bonus. |

WHAT?!!! Cloaks are coming??!!! YES!!!
I also thought that this would be the best way to go about cloaking. No uses of weapons and stuff until you're not cloaked. I think thats going to be ******* awesome. I was actually thinking about that last night while playing.

For this I don't need a cloak at all, the only real use or cloaks is croosing an open space something no real scout should regulary do.
Sure beeing able to shoot a whle clip while beeing cloaked would be stupid but gettin the initial shot would ot be that op at all. With a dampened suit this is already easily possible. The same ist true for knifing even if we are allowed to charge our knife and hit once (the initial blow) that would barely be OP.
Now the funny part the cpm did not intevene by the introductin of the clearly highly OP new rifles or tanks but for cloaks they threw everything in they could to get this stuff in prenerfed...
Whats left is a piece of equipment with horrendous fiting requirements that only give a marginally bonus as it seems.
Well I guess we have to see how usefull cloaking will be but I fear i you could easily ake better use from that equipment slot |

I will use it on my assault scout of doom(TM).
Pop out of cover, kill as much as possible, then duck back into cover and cloak up to escape.
