Negative. Cloaks do not need to decloak if they get shot. That would make them useless. Spray a min smg in that direction, and cloak gone?
Furthermore, they are visible when they are running.
Just a little situational awareness goes a long way. Bombard objectives beforehand. Watch for the silhouettes.
A scout doesn't, nor shouldn't, automatically fail his mission, just because he is spotted.
We are playing against, people, not NPCs.
If people are actively looking for you, not only should you be hidden, but you should be able to escape and remain hidden.
The function of the cloak is a welcome change, and makes scouts matter again.
Heavies are hard to take down.
Scouts are slippery and hard to catch now.
Don't complain, because they are as difficult to deal with as they always should have been. |

Thats easy How about when at an enemy installation or its just been hacked and you arent sure where might be so you aim at the installation and everything is red. If the lighting isnt right it could be very hard to see.
It's supposed to be very hard to see.
I'm not quite sure why does the scout have to keep having hard time, but others can't?
The whole purpose was for scouts to be HARD to detect and tract. Nearly impossible, if someone specializes.
That was the WHOLE point.
Me and Buttscratch had a good match, having to team up against a Gallente Commando, think his name was Jester J. He was happy that we kept him on his toes and said, GG.
We had a good time playing because his HP made him hard to kill, and it took tactics to get him down.
It was still a 2-man scout effort, just to take down 1 regular guy.
He was on his toes because we were hard to see. Took 3 shotgun rounds to take him down, and he could still blow you away in 1.
I survived a blaster tank rolling within 7 feet of me because of cloak......... that was the most amazing experience ever. I did not move.
A scout is fun now. |
