So...
You used two slots to hide from a brick tanked permascan proto logi who didn't have to give up one slot.

So if you meet in direct battle, he wins.
Not only that, but his squad benefits from it too.

It completely breaks flanking and other manevours.

So much truth in this post. It forces enemies to use brainless frontal attacks (because flanking is impossible) and end up vs a 1k ehp proto rifle instakill derp-logi.

If you're using a stealth suit and not flanking but engaging an enemy in a direct fight, then you're doing it wrong. The advantage of stealth is being able to get your enemy down to a half or quarter of their HP before they even know where you're shooting from.

I'd say that 360* scans actually makes stealth flanking easier due to the false sense of security they impart and the tunnel vision that people get when they focus on your allies off in one direction while you are picking off enemies from the rear.

these kids dont get it, they see "you have been scanned"...then die. so they journey to the forums and "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I got scanned in my brick tanked scout and died, scanners are breaking the game. " "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA activision fix this or ill cry more, i need a cloak to compete."

Or many of the scouts left in the game have been playing said game for over a year and know exactly what they are talking about. Just a thought. And to be honest I don't feel the cloak is going to help scouts as much as others seem to think, I can stay out of sight extremely well without it personally.

When I'm in a stealth suit with low hp but still get scanned wft am I supposed to do? Do what I do: suicide run. Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 4 STB-Infantry (Demolition)
