Your mission is to get in a squad and find enemies for your squad. Your squad comes and kills the enemies while you slip away to find more enemies for your squad.
It's so simple, yet, pretty much all scouts in this game get it wrong. This is easy to understand because CCP also doesn't understand what a scout's role is.
Scouts are not ninjas. They do not carry weapons like Nova Knives. I personally find NK scouts offensive to my former professsion.
Scouts are not CQCers. If you are engaging the enemy yourself, it's because you screwed up and they saw you.
Scout's main weapons should be their laser designator. Oh, that's right, CCP didn't include that mechanic, which is basically the ONE THING A SCOUT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. Why the F did you even include scouts at all?!?
God you guys suck at making video games.
Ooh you adorable idiot Here's a fun fact! While they can and do take influence from real life, video games are not real life What, next are you going to try to compare heavies with HMGs and massive armor plates with shielding etc., to............................., or transfer of memories from one clone to another is similar in RL to.....................yeh, you're going to have a slight problem there. Actually, you'll have a problem with most elements of Dust if you try to compare them like that.
Lol, I've the utmost respect for most present/past military personal, but your post is idiotic to the extreme, when you compare what those that have served in RL have done with a game.
What I find more funny is that you think a suit class name denotes a players roles in a game that promotes flexibility. A fast suit that is usually invisible to all other classes unless they're in the FOV, is perfectly suited to the use of shotguns, NKs , remotes, etc., that involves getting in close for a ninja like ambush, and then disappearing again.
Edit - What I posted has already been said here, but a little repetition shouldn't hurt here |

They have no appreciation for how things actually work.
I've used plenty, both hardware and tactics, but that's not the point here. The point is that some idiot, yourself, doesn't know when to stop digging the hole, whether it's a really bad troll attempt or unfortunately your actual opinion. |

The point is that some idiot, yourself, doesn't know when to stop digging the hole, whether it's a really bad troll attempt or unfortunately your actual opinion. games while based on pieces of real life, are their own little universes, with different rules written then ours. military tactics tend to fail in video gazmes where the rules have diverged far enough from real life. mostly because in military tactics you cant literally throw away lives on an endless loop to acomplish something without facing harsh consequenses. this isnt reality, and the rules of this little pocket universe called dust 514 are vastly different from the one we live in. as a game designer you deliberatly design things that arnt realistic for the sake of balance or entertainment as doing otherwise would result in its failure. its a "scout" suit, not a scout. stop applying real life rules and laws to video games and realise that the rules of this universe are different then our own.
Well said! |

If so, I thought he was a 17 yo brat who would be too young for the army.
He/she/it has more alts but are always easy to spot due to the bull that they post. |
