i am a scout, so scanners aren't usually a problem, and the only other thing i run other than scout is a 550 melee damage cal med frame ck.0.
my melee fit is arguably the hardest thing to use in the game, BECAUSE OF SCANNERS. it has about 300 to 350 ehp, but unlike my scout suit, IT GETS SCANNED 24/7. due to this, i can rarely sneak up on people effectively to melee them, not to mention, getting one shot by ScRs.
it's amazing how terrible all the "L33T" players in the game are when they don't have their precious scanners. not just their situational awareness, but their gun game is terrible too. i know it's getting nerfed, and that's great, but i would like to know why the hell they were even put into the game. i've never heard of a mechanic in a game that allows someone to see everyone, even through walls from 150 meters away.
i'm honestly curious, was there an actual plan for the scanner when they put it in, other than to break the game?

i don't even run scanners, and no, i shouldn't appreciate them. i understand why everybody brick tanks now. because if you don't, you'll be as good as useless unless you can avoid scanners.

Put a few dampners on your CK.0, and blammo, it gets under everything except proto scanners...and you don't see many of those in pubs.
i'm using a melee fit. i need those lows for speed and stamina.

I'm sorry, but I'm filing this one away as butthurt and T_T
did you not read that i was using a 300 ehp MELEE fit? i can't use those lows to dampen, i need speed and stamina.

i swear, some of these people need to learn how to read. i am a SCOUT, so i don't normally have problems with scanners.
what i'm saying is that as soon as i stepped out of that, i couldn't really do anything. i was trying to play a different style, but it was near impossible, because of scanners. while i disagree with it, i don't blame anyone who specced FoTM brick tank logi or whatever. if your not in a a dampened suit or a brick tanked suit, your pretty much useless, and THIS is the main reason why you don't see much variety in DUST. the second you want to try something different than the current meta, scanners prevent that.

I am mainly a non-scout who have recently ventured into scouts (Tranquil you and I have played together but I don't think you knew it was me, think I dropped a 40 kill game in a minja while running with ya :D) and scanners have never bothered me. Getting scanned sucks yeah but it also means that I don't have to go to my opponent to take em out lol, being scanned means that as an assault I become the main threat targeted allowing for scouts as yourself to move into the flank and avoid the main line of fire. Im excited to see the changes to come in 1.8 for both the scout suits and the active scanners, it can be done right and in PC it is less of a problem than it is in pubs (mostly due to both teams most definitely always running scanners, but this places a big advantage for talented, damped out scouts)
i knew it was you :D
sure, scanners aren't a problem when you're in a brick tanked suit or dampened suit, but i was using a 300 ehp melee fit, so i didn't stand much of a chance in head on confrontations, but because of scanners, i coudn't really flank unless i switched to my scout suit.
