This.

But I agree most play the scout to offensive. Because most play alone and wanna earn WP to get SP. When I-¦m in a squad my main purpose is placing uplinks, hack uncovered objectives and kill sniper/scouts. I do see that this can be a description of the scout in this game. But, just my 2c.

Sorry if you find it offensive, but this is a game.

Do you really think most people would play a scout just to use a laser designator?
Do you really think most people would play a heavy just to play defense role?
Do you really think most people would play a Logistics just to be a medic?

The idea of this game is you are given the choice to play it however you want. If you want to be a guy in a scout suit running round with active scanner and using squad commands like a laser designator that is your perogative. If the guy next to you wants to be a damn power ranger then he can be.

There are no set "roles" if you want to play heavy you play it how you want, you do that, give him a laser rifle and watch in glee as people run from your long ramge weapon, you wanna be a mad bomber with a logistics suit be my guest, you wanna be some kind of chuck norris beating people to death fine by me.

We are not should not be forced into set roles its good for the game.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, just because a commando can drop uplinks, hack points and kill snipers doesn't mean its the best for the job.
Otherwise we would only have 2 basic suits a heavy and a medium because between they can do every job EVER.

It like telling my Minmatar Flanking suit is terrible because the Jobs I do with it can be done with any other suit. Which they can, but when your squad is pinned down I would much rather have a fast moderately dampned minmatar to say a lumbering brick tanked amarr as my flanker. But that doesn't mean someone else can play amarr as flanker it just doesn't suit MY style, it's not wrong but to me its not right either.

You do realize that the classes and roles are not defined by your interpretation of what the United States Army uses scouts for? They are defined by the people who make this game, and its based on space man technology, far in the future, where scouts have knives, and do what the **** we want.....

Why do people always feel the need to put their b u l l s h I t on how we are supposed to utilize our suits, why the he ll does it matter what I do with my suit?

When the day comes that the insufferable amount of bitching from this player base leads to hard roles being defined by ccp to the point that we cant create the custom fits that are really at the heart of why this game is still bad ass, on that day dust will die..... Our ability to have the freedom to make suit choices both good and bad are 1of the top 3 reasons I play dust.... The game makers can define the suit role, but how you implement that role and to what end is our choice. No one here should be telling others how to use a suit or gun, thats why logis are being nerfed, and yet we will always slay because when you spawn in your gun is in your hand, not, your rep tool....

Heavies will continue to use rr, because they can, and scouts will continue to cut your efing head off because its fun and cool and difficult.... Dont define my roll, know your own, slow it down, and get good with it.

you say the scout role is useless?
I can flank
I can run faster
I can run farther
I can hack quicker
I can be electronically invisibe
I can be visibly invisible (soon)
and STILL get 50+ kills

the problem isn't that other suits can do it better
The problem is you suck with the suit and probably blindly run into enemies
