It's just common sense.
I'm not going to stick around when I'm at a disadvantage so you can have your "fair fight". I'm going to run away and come back to hit you when your guard is down.
Sorry if that offends your sense of bushido...

So who called you a scrub for running away?

As Phage said, as a scout, attacking head-on is... no. People forget its called 'tactical retreat' or 'regrouping' not 'i'm a scrub.' But most people that say that are cowards anyway.
But what about the people that are retreating and they shoot you in the back?

I chuckle to myself whenever I read somebody whining and ranting about the enemy running away. I mean, do people seriously expect me to just sit there and just let them pound me with a Forge Gun and Swarms? **** no, I'm getting the hell out of there. Oh I ran into the Redline to cool off my modules? No ****! I want to minimize the window in which I'm at my most vulnerable. I get overpowered and am forced to waddle my fatsuit to cover so I can recharge my shields and then **** you up because you followed me like an idiot and you're now 5m in front of my hungry HMG? I'm so ******* sorry that I'd rather survive than sacrifice myself to your delusions of honor.

I'm sorry if you're a proto CR/RR Gallogi/heavy and you turn to run away from the business end of a militia fit rifle. You're scrubby and I'm calling you out.

No no, by all means, please do. I love getting hugs. My hungry, hungry HMG concurs.
All seriousness: I have less respect for the players who stand and fight me than the ones who use tactics, run away and juke to defeat my fatness.
The best fight I ever had was a 1v1 with a Scout on the rooftop of the Gallente communications map. He had an AR, I had FG and SMG. He'd chip away at me, flee to the various cover, and come back to hit me once his faster-charging shields were up.
It was a war of attrition slogfest, like DUST chess. And the Scout finally won in 5% armor. He got a well-deserved GG mail from me at the end. (If I had only cooked my last grenade a half-second longer...)
I figured I was the "boss fight" of that match. 
Anyway, keep running away. The very best players in this game do the same.

Knowing when to retreat and when to attack is part of being a good player. It's something I struggle with myself.
I just can't help but attack 4 people at once. 
The PC and SL should fit into the Sidearm slot so it's accessible and practical to carry one.

Apparently everything is being a scrub nowadays.. Driving a tank : Scrub. Take someone's car after they die : Scrub. ACcidentally killing your blues: Scrub. Corporation ads in local : Scrub. This community is ****** when this game takes a giant turn..

This game is just a big cluster **** of paper-rock-scsissors. You might have what beats the enemy, you might not. If you have the exact same aim, and the exact same hit points, and the exact same weapon as an enemy, and he has a weapon modifier, you lose - not because you didn't have the skill, but because he could deal more damage.
This FPS requires probably some of the least skill and most luck/coincidence you can find in an FPS. I rarely feel as though I 'outskilled' an enemy when I kill them. I only feel like I rolled a higher number in dice, if that makes any sense. Of course if you run around with an RR or a tank then you are basically taking all the dice and manually putting them with the 6 side up. |

standing toe to toe unless your confident your rocking the most damage and health is silly and not worth the risk.. Anyone can land some headshots and put anyone down.
It's why I was hated in Counter-strike.. I would rather shoot someone through a wall then give them a chance to even glance at me and return fire.
Basically Always use THIS as your strategy in DUST. |

I used to run away often, but I was always chased down and slaughtered anyway. Now I prefer to die face to face. I'll retreat if I can, but its an awareness issue. Gotta have somewhere to fall back to.
Usually its turn corner and, "oh shitaki mushroom, heavy. Run! Damn AV nades" |

Excellent tactic. What some people call "cowardice", I call "baiting". Smart players utilize this tactic.
Chase me if you want...if I find cover, it won't end well for you. Promise.

That's fine, you have a brave armor tanker to make sure everyone can retreat.
I always stand and fight even with low HP if it means survival of a squad mate.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

As a scout it's funny seeing people run from you and another scout. I forgot who was with me but we seen a heavy and the heavy took out waddling away. It was strange but funny. Like dude your hp is more than us combined. |

I don't know where all you other scouts find the time to run away. I am usually dead before I know I am being shot at.
