In this instance he is talking about a heavy with HMG vs scout with RE. You hit them with more than 10 bullets just thinking about pressing the trigger with the HMG.
As a dedicated RE user I will still agree that we could stand to lose the detonate after death FEATURE, yeah sometimes I die to it as well. I do use it, I will miss it, but if it will stop the constant bitching and crying about "He shouldn't be able to kill me when I have no situational awareness or aiming ability"
Besides, sometimes a suicide mission is worth it. Send one guy in to plant explosives and get everyones attention before detonating. Take as many with you as you can, and have the rest of your squad come in and clear the area right after the mad panic and confusion starts.
There are too many variables that have to be taken in to account here.
Did said scout use cover to get close enough to you that he had full stamina for the final sprint and drop tactic?
Were you preoccupied looking at something else?
Do you know how to aim, if you don't do you have aim assist turned on?
Are you running damage mods with that HMG? (Even a basic HMG with a single complex damage mod will MURDER people at that range, and most of the time terminate the clone before they hit the ground)
Could that scout see you on the map already because of scan precision and knew that he had the time to get to you because you were facing the other way?
Are you running in a squad or solo?
Do you have a logi with you?
Does that logi have a scanner? (Most scouts I've seen, including my own, for hit and run RE fun time are more speed tanked than damped) I get scanned all the time, but people have become so complacent to it that they have once again stopped paying attention.
This reminds me of a hate mail I got last night from a heavy using HMG/nova knives.
He had me pinned behind a truck and had the high ground, I was only really able to troll him by popping in and out of cover causing him to waste ammo. He finally got tired of standing there burning through his HMG ammo reserve and charged at me WITH HIS KNIVES OUT.
Seeing this I calmly dropped a RE just around the corner and backed off to wait. As he rounded he corner BOOM! Heavy suit rag dolls off into a wall and starts to burn.
Then I get a hate mail saying "RE using scrub, get some skill"
Get some skill? Excuse me? I'm the little guy in a suit with ~150 shields and 87 armor, vs a heavy with at minimum 1200 EHP, and you have me pinned down at your optimal range with a ******* HMG.
You switch to KNIVES and expect to enter a scouts optimal killing zone with that slow suit expecting your large HP pool to make it possible to knife me?
He was probably right, I am a pretty unskilled player and have to resort to cheap scrub tactics like RE's to kill a heavy who is hell bent on getting the kill and running through open ground towards a closed off environment with ******* nova knives.
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?
THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!
