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. And while we are at it GÇö Everything in this game is offensive to my former profession as a Marine infantry rifleman. People don't know how to operate as tactically as military, people jump around way too much, sniping is ruined and totally bass akwards, there are no real battle lines or solid direction of enemy approach, no real camo, no prone positions and emphasis on careful movement, neverending supplies from hives, no comms discipline, no 3D depth of field, peripheral vision or sound to better I.D. targets, no tactile feel of a rifle, only a stupid game controller to try and aim with, latency with hit and visual detection. This is why I think this game silly and quickly lost interest in trying to treat it more as I would like to. I get drunk and run around like it's a frat party. Because that is exactly all it is, a stupid, updated version of the engine it is based on GÇö Unreal Tournament. But look me up. I'd like nothing better than to runwith military ppl. Sodium Amytal channel is supposedly that. I usually don't play in squads or with others though due to when and where I play. Also, I'm too jaded.
DUST mirrors an organized military as much as child's soccer mirrors the pros. The kids mob chase the ball, there is no coordination, and there is no positional play. In this game everyone wants to handle the ball and precious few want to coordinate at all. There are many reasons, from the basic player temperament to the lack of incentive and enabling game mechanics.

Don't judge the role if you've never played it No need to be so hostile. He's not necessarily saying that CCP needs to change the role to match what a real life scout does, but more so that he is displeased with the fact that CCP would call such a role a scout when it doesn't carry many attributes of a real life scout. But again, it's not just CCP, it's nearly the whole game developing community that has shifted the meaning of what a scout is in respect to their games. Valve is another culprit with TF2, that "scout" is not even remotely a scout. Doesn't means it needs to be changed, just means it's poor naming.
I think the issue is that the OP has a predetermined definition of what a scout is to him and doesnt think beyond that definition to what scout means to other people
I for one enjoy escorting people across streets, tying knots and sitting around campfires
besides calling it a "high mobile, low profile, lightly protected frame" is a bit of a mouthful
next he will be complaining that Assaults are hiding behind cover instead of assaulting things, logis should be behind a desk shifting paperwork
sentinels should not have base speed and if they want to move they need a logi to fill out forms to get a pilot in a LAV(fork lift) to go anywhere
original OP is completely biased and if he wants a "real life" scout then he should play one him self and sit off in the hills with his laser pointer and see how much fun he gets out of the game. |

he wasnt exactly stepping carefully on eggshells to convey his intended message but he diddnt exactly mean any harm by it. from his perspective there are two groups that identify with "scouts" his group RL scouts and game scouts hes simply noticed a huge descrepancy in what the two groups roles are and is expressing his desire that they be brought closer together. in essence he is expressing his dismay that the games dont allow you guys to really get to see the scout how hee sees them. and he wishes that you guys could see how awesome real scouts are. add in his army background and that explains his rather rough way of conveying his message. aka dont let his adversarial way of saying it get in the way of understanding that he really just wants to share his insight into scouts as well as his feelings of how awesome RL scouts were. hes trying to be friends You can see into my brain! You can write my posts from now on. i can see into most peoples brains :P in real life it creeps people out, in the world of the internet its the ultimate conflict resolution tool. me on the internet: solves more problems then it causes me in real life: causes more problems then it solves.... by alot. people in real life dont like it when you can see their every motivation and intention, it puts people in a defencive stance immediatly even if they arnt conciously aware of your ability to read them a piece of them can still tell in most cases. How?
how can i read them so well? or how can they unconsiously tell that i am?
for me its just second nature so its difficult to explain.
and people can tell because your responces to things wont match their internal expectations, and if you consistantly respond in ways that are unfamiliar or dont match their percieved notion of how people would normally respond it generally makes them uncomfortable after a while and if they arnt conciously aware of why im responding that way it will generally creep them the hell out.
its kinda like if you met a stranger and they constantly answered questions you hadnt said yet it would obviously freak you out a little but obviously not that exaduated.
i dont listen to what people say, i listen to what people mean and ignore the manner in wich they say it.
like when you were a kid if you mom asked you if you did one of your chores yet. you and your mom obviously both know that you havnt yet and you what what shes really saying is that she wants you to go take out the trash.
"have you done such and such yet"
translates to
"please go do it"

The laser tagging sounds like a great idea, having someone point out a target that is stopping the team moving forward so I can come and blow it to hell with my dropship would be great... But unfortunately only the squad leader has that ability and they're usually busy marking to defend a squadmate so everyone gets more points for shooting random infantry. |

And while you're being useless and unnecessary, I'm putting down uplinks in strategic locations, hacking unguarded objectives, and destroying enemy uplinks.
I kill people either when I need them out of the way, or when I have nothing better to do. Only attacking people who see me would get me killed far too often. May as well use the element of surprise while I can.

This is coming from someone whom also was former military, if this game was based on realism of military operations and procedures it would plummet lol. For one, nobody fires their gun from the hip if they are properly trained, it is added because it makes the game more exciting. Head-shots would actually kill in one hit but that's not always the case in this game. If you shot someone in the leg they wouldn't be able to spin like a ballerina and mow you down while 2 stepping and twitching like a crack addict with pin point accuracy. Even games that say they are realistic are not fully realistic as most gamers don't want to simulate real life. They want to get away from it. No gamer would want to play the role of the person that simply watches everyone else have fun while they twiddle their thumbs until they snap off and fall into their Dorito bag. Anyone can pick up a scanner or simply look on the map to call out vehicle positions since they kinda have this bright light on the front of their vehicles....kinda gives them away. Why stop there? Lets make it so everyone has to play constantly for 14-18 hours straight like its work but no breaks in between and that's being generous.. Just like the military in combat operations. I am sure that will really make the game more fun. Lets even make it so one person is designated from each squad to have to give a briefing to their superiors after every battle that has to be fully detailed of every event that occurred lol. Just thinking about that makes me want to play even more (sarcasm).

I'm trying to see if anybody can tell me what the advantage to being a DUST scout is, if there is one. Not an Easy Button, but something they can do that would com[pletely change my game experience and warrant specifically going 'scout' with an alt. I want to see something different than what I'm seeing with the light, medium ,heavy, and commando alts I'm using now. Grinding has become boring. I need something interesting to do. Well, let's see...they will be/have: Fastest infantry unit Invisible electronically Almost invisible visually 2 equipment slots Light weapon & side arm slots CCP Remnant: Quote:To me, the Scout role has always been about creating a disruptive force on the battlefield. HeGÇÖs the guy that can cover enough ground quickly enough to get drop uplinks into the right places (that is, if everyone didnGÇÖt carry one, but more on that later), hack objectives back, disperse squad members (nothing makes people scatter faster than a KC-amped shotgunner) and generally make a nuisance of himself. http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/12/interview-with-ccp-remnant/Scouts are already doing this, 1.8 will allow them to do it much more efficiently. What other suit, bar logi, has 2 equipment slots? Which can avoid adv scanners with no modules? Which can fit cloaks and still be functional? I used to think that logis where the most diverse/fun/interesting role able to facilitate victory on the battlefield without having to be a pew pew man like the rest...scouts are about to take that crown in my mind. Agreed, scouts will be FOTM, guaranteed.....

God you guys suck at making video games. 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 obviously don't understand scouts at all if you think that's what they do. Scouts do in fact sneak around and spot out enemies, while being hidden themselves. Also, scouts are meant to set traps and disable or turn defenses and installations against the enemy team via EWAR (we have the hacking and scanning side of EWAR so far, we just need the rest of it). Part of that is a target painter, and is used by the Winmatar.
Also, scouts are not really combat oriented. if you are good enough, you can use it for combat, and you can do that very well (But if you're that good with a scout, you can probably do better in a medium or heavy frame). Make one mistake however, and you'll probably die (unless you get lucky, or the person can't aim).
Lastly, just you did scout work in the army, doesn't mean you know how scouts work in every game, especially one that exists with tons of lore and such already behind it.

No suit is meant to do any specific task in Dust. Scout suits happen to be more speed and stealth oriented, but they have a lower damage threshold. This allows them to do a multitude of different tasks effectively. That is the beauty of this game, you can do whatever the **** you want. People say you cannot use scouts in an assault role? Throw some armor plates or shield extenders on and shoot them. People say you cannot be a combat medic? Throw an injector on there and go be a hero.
The moment you start viewing suits as 'roles' in this game is the moment you begin to limit your fun. The only thing limiting you to roles is yourself. |

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. Sorry buddy, your hopes of re-living the old military days through Dust514 are done This is a sci-fi computer game, don't expect it to match up to your time in Military .... Dust is not real-life.....
Agreed. Dust 514 is set in a futuristic time where things are definitely not the same as they are here now or on Earth. Furthermore, it's up to the game designers to define what the role of a dropsuit is supposed to be, because it is their vision of how the game is supposed to be. |

Why this nitwit has been a very good barometer for the dust community, although CCP may not get any actually ideas it shows exactly what the general community expects from this game.
This is not an RPG with one guy as a ganker, one guy as a healer, one guy as a status setter/buffer this a game where you can make any suit do what you want within reason, where each suit has its own positives and drawbacks compared to each other, where these suits can all do different roles in theirmown unique way.
Its shown the communities real spirit in the game, the fact it took some fool who doesn't like what people can do with a suit to show us it, is the real problem.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.
