DUST Search - Ooh you adorable scouts who don't know your role

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.

I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans

Back in 1700/1800 we used to line up opposite each other and take it in turns shooting at each other, does thhis mean todays army does it wrong? CCP have made intel a non scout deal, Its easier for logi's to run scanners, scouts radars do not transfer information to the team, snipers cannot tag enemies. In DUST514 a scout can be a ninja, if you play him like that, he can be fast assault if you play him like that, he can be a tanker, if you play him like that. THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE, just because you let the game consume yours does not change that, I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans

I'm hung up on 'makes any sense at all' vs game. And also 'scout class as-is is gay' vs game. And also 'what a let down' vs game And also 'run outta ** to do because this is just the Chinese Yamaha Rhino Clone of BF3 and was really hoping the scout class wasn't really as assclownish as it looked' vs game If any of you only knew, you'd be like "Why the isn't this in the game?" Go look up Bradleys, Mk19s, STROPE rigging, the FARS, laser designating targets, and HALO jumping, then come back and tell me if I'm wrong to be pissed how this whole class was done. Go look up "shut up and eat my shotgun mother ****" I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans
