i was in a match recently with a corp that i forgot the name of. maybe it was dragon-age or dragone-empire or something like that, but anyway, they were a pretty cool group of guys, except for one kid who sounded like he was no older than 10. i understand 10 year old logic can be very flawed, but i was just awe-struck at the amount of stupidity this kid was spewing.
we were playing a domination and most of us were scouts, except for him. the enemy got the point, and we all kind of separated and started doing our thing. after a while, i hear this kid start insulting his own corpmates saying, "am i the only one with half a brain around here?", or "how many times do i have to say cover me while i'm hacking!" they tried to explain to him that he couldn't expect scouts to "cover him" from heavies and proto stacked assaults, but he didn't want to hear any of that. he just kept trying to solo hack the objective, running STRAIGHT PAST enemies expecting us to cover him when we are no where near him.
needless to say, this kid who thought he knew what he was doing proceeded to go 1/17 and effectively rage quit.
i don't think i've ever seen a more useless squadmate in my entire time playing DUST...

The blueberry and greenberry terms are just useless, everyone can be an idiot regardless of what color their dot is. I've went into matches often times alone, which would make me a blueberry, and still work well to benefit the team and win the game ultimately, and I often score on the top of the scoreboard. Equally, greenberries can be annoying and clueless idiots who have no concept of teamwork.
Sure, there are always going to be those people who just go sniping right away and get one kill the entire match, and those who completely ignore you when you're in need of a revive even in safe places, but both squad members and non-squad members are prone to do this. The reason why your average non-squad member seems to be more stupid and/or clueless is because they might be part of another squad, following their own orders which might look useless to you, but serve to benefit his squad. Or in case of unsquadded players, they usually go do their own things as there is no one to guide them.
A blueberry can't know that people are coming without a squad member using an active scanner, leaving him oblivious to danger and quickly killed because he got no warning at all aside a vague "You have been scanned" message before dying. Without this kind of information, they are often left clueless as to what to do and where to go to be the most effective, so they just wander around aimlessly trying to find something to kill. When you keep dying over and over again to organized players, even if they're not protostomping, many of them resort to sniping because then they can minimize the risk of death and still have something to do.
People usually determine the value of a non-squad member on the limited information they're given from the few glimpses they saw him in battle, and the scoreboard result at the end of a match. Someone who only got 25 warpoints and died 20 times may seem like a waste of clones, but he could have just been trying to defend a heavily contested objective and kept being slaughtered by better equipped and skilled players. There's a lot of information you don't know about the people you see on the scoreboard, and low scores don't always mean that they're bad players.
But MCC shooters and redline missile installation campers are still idiots, as are the people the OP described.

A squad doesn't need 5 scouts to begin with so I don't blame the kid for getting mad at you guys for dicking around. The point of Dom is take the objective and hold it; not prance around the map getting ninja kills that doesn't even effect the tide of battle.
Edit: A squad is supposed to help each other out, not do their own thing. That's why you're in a squad and if you don't want to help them out then you should be running solo.

The fact that the kid alone went 1-17 tells me that he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I mean I went higher than that against Nyain San in PC matches.

Last night I had the same experience only opposite. I was squadded up with a couple of vets who were obviously good, they both had good scores, like 19-0, but our team kept losing. A big part of that was because they were hunting snipers and spawn camping instead of taking and holding the objective. Your kid might have been stupid but I'd trade the two I had for him any day.
Because, that's why.

You guys are obviously the ones that were being useless by running up to 5 scouts when a squad only needs 1 or 2 at most. The worse part is that you chose to be useless because I know you've been here long enough to have enough SP to run good fits other than scouts.
Don't try to make yourself feel better by blaming your own uselessness on other people that are actually trying.

a squad of good scouts can be very scary. I've seen a couple in dom run to the other side, hack all installations, then take out droplinks, leaving the enemy flanked, and vulnerable. Red berries held the objective, but with no outside support and were essentially ducks in a barrel and quickly wiped out.
That said, I love clueless blueberries. they're kind of cute in a noob sort of way. But a clueless greenberry with a mic that rage quits? ugh.. that would make me rage quit.

I'm pretty sure I know who your talking about a few months back he added me as a contact and would constantly try to get me and a few other players he thought were good into his corp by spamming mails and chat channels every once in a while those other people were convincing him to stop but he just wouldn't listen. Then later he joined a corp called Dragon-Empire and wanted me to join, but at this point I was annoyed and just ignored him. I have seen him on the scout channel recently but I'm pretty sure he does run scout

i know the limitations of my suit. i'm not going to try to take on 3 stacked logis head on with an advanced scout suit. that doesn't mean i'm being useless, it just means i'm being smart.

I have 22 mil, I have a proto slayer logi and real logi fit with adv equipment, I have a heavy proto hmg & proto forge both with prof 4 I have most weapons to adv (except flaylock, Scr, Scp, shotgun, & nova knives); I can be long range, short range, or cqc. I can be a killer or a healer and certainly my fits are lacking in areas but they get the job done most of the time and when one role becomes useless I switch to one that isn't..
You said yourself that the enemy took the objective and there was nothing you could do about it in your scout suit (thus you were being useless) and now you say you were playing smart? What were you doing, trying to starve them out? Or were you actually just getting ninja kills on strays that had absolutely no impact on the the tide of battle?

Your job in Dom is to hack the point. Screwing around treating a Dom like team deathmatch, the fault is on you. You would've been probably more useful in a basic heavy frame on the point than screwing around as a scout not on the point.

1. Some of you don't understand that scouts don't camp an objective, they scatter and flank. Try playing as a real scout sometime.
2. Some of the best squads I run with are full scout squads. You only need 1-2 scouts? Maybe in PC, but it's perfectly viable in pubs.
I'm eager to see the FOTM chasers spending their refunded SP into scouts come 1.8. It won't be long before they realize scouts aren't mini assaults and beg for another respec.

1. No, we understand that but flanking in objective based modes is only useful when it enables the capture of the objective or routing of the enemy trying to capture the objective from your team. Neither of which were apparently happening in the match being discussed.
2. Sure it's viable in ambushes where it's only kill or be killed. But in an objective based mode when that squad can't capture or assist in the capture of the objective and defend or assist in the defense of the objective then that squad is not viable; it's just useless dead weight. And in the match being discussed he clearly states that his squad of scouts couldn't do anything about the objective. If they want to play an objective based mode then they should play for the objective; if they just want to play for kills then they should play ambush.
However I don't expect a group of scouts to capture and hold an objective, What I do expect is when a persons role is useless in the current situation that they don't say it's not my fault that I'm useless and then point the finger at someone else.

I blame it on their still-developing pre-frontal cortex. It's the part of the cerebrum that controls learning/reasoning and doesn't develop fully until the age of 21.
That being said, as a parent, I will avoid telling my kids about that, as I can see them using it as an excuse for doing stupid stuff and hoping to be excused from it.

Also, this game DOES have a rating. I believe it says T for Teen. 10 is not Teen. If he chooses to play, then, by default, he chooses everything that comes along with playing with a bunch of people older than him.

Lol, he's 10. I'll bet most men were like that but just don't want to admit it. I'll bet you all look back with rose tinted glasses and think you were badass. Hell, a lot of players in here still think that way so they are either 10 or they are just that pathetic.

we were playing a domination and most of us were scouts, except for him. the enemy got the point, and we all kind of separated and started doing our thing. after a while, i hear this kid start insulting his own corpmates saying, "am i the only one with half a brain around here?", or "how many times do i have to say cover me while i'm hacking!" they tried to explain to him that he couldn't expect scouts to "cover him" from heavies and proto stacked assaults, but he didn't want to hear any of that. he just kept trying to solo hack the objective, running STRAIGHT PAST enemies expecting us to cover him when we are no where near him.
needless to say, this kid who thought he knew what he was doing proceeded to go 1/17 and effectively rage quit.
i don't think i've ever seen a more useless squadmate in my entire time playing DUST...
First mistake was not working a unified squad in using the kid as a bait +50 generator. Second mistake was not deploying twenty remote explosives to create a minefield to kill the enemy. Third mistake was place the blame on someone else.
Each scout has the potential to drop four remote explosives time 5 scouts is 20 remotes around the objective thats a OHK on one or multiple enemies and thats per remote explosive.
I see five scouts that are to blame here and not some newberry.
Hope this helps.

Myself and a few other commandos were in a match when a random blue decided to join our squad, he proceeded to yell that "there's a bad guy right there!!!!!" And "kill him kill him kill him" whilst he rest of us were preoccupied with his redberry friends. I was rolling a logi suit for the squad so I had my hands full with a repper and injector and the kid proceeded to say I was almost as useful as he was.....I finished 5/4 800 ish WP.....he finished with 350 WP and went 4/7......

It's a 10 yr old kid. I expect that kind of stuff. Now when you get a mature 10 yr old, on the other hand, its quite refreshing. But those are few and far in between

Anyways, yeah. Most little kids are annoying to play with. You can report them for falling their age to Sony and maybe they'll get their multiplayer gaming taken away.
Also, mute them. It's not that hard. |

i would never normally defend a little kid on the internet but this guy is right, you 5 scouts "going off and doing your own thing" is stupid, it would have been better to just pull out free starter fits and shoot the guys that were preoccupied with shooting that kid

I don't get it so you guys could or you couldn't take the objective? If you couldn't well **** son, why were you playing dom? Were you hoping the blueberries would brick tank for you? You should know better.
Edit: To rephrase, why the hell were you guys running a skirm/ambush squad in king of the hill aka dom? Dom is a brickfest if you aren't bringing bricks what are you doing? |

Just to interject needlessly...
I've been with a scoutly squad recently and they run Dom - at first I was like 'WTF?' (Especially since I encountered these guys in skirmish all the time). However it can work.
First, try to keep in mind - scouts just can't work as a team. It's like the ninja paradox - when there is a horde, they drop by flies, but individually they are unstoppable. Or whatever.
Anyway, point being they can't 'hold the line' or push forward as such, or really provide covering fire (how do I cover someone 30m away with a shotgun? \/0\/ ) but they can exploit opportunities better than others - this means a squad of scouts often end up doing roughly same thing anyway, since they often spot the same weaknesses in enemy formations.
In Dom, defensive and offensive lines are bigger than a single squad - too much really for single or couple of scouts to disrupt, especially since the reds will have CRUs and a zillion uplinks supporting them. A squad of scouts will tear through enemy 'supply lines' and then can approach an enemy line separately - enough to draw attention to one particular scout in one direction, so that by the time another arrives from a different direction, the reds are suitably distracted looking for the other.
In the mean time the blues can roll in to crush the line or take the objective while the reds are distracted by a few scouts.
It's hard to explain to non-scouts but hopefully somebody gets what I'm trying to say.
You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.
