it sure is fun to use lol.

anyway it's an odd toy, it's not suited for aggression, but for luring and defending. if you activate it while your opponent has lost sight of you for even a moment it's incredibly effective, make any attempt to use it offensively like in assaulting a point and it's less then worthless.

quite an interesting thing.

It's good for hit and runs. You cloak, run up to an enemy, switch to a Shotgun, blast them, then recloak and run away.

It can also be used for an ambush. You lure an enemy, run around a corner and cloak, turn around and wait. As soon as they round the corner, switch, blast, recloak.

And good for those ninja hacks, as well.

I have done all three.

i wouldnt even do that. i just run my scout like i usually would, but if i see a red dot headed my way, then i cloak, wait for him to pass and shotgun them from behind. its never a good tactic if it involves moving around while the cloaking device is active.

Tell me, was this game more fun for you when you could scan everything? Yes? What about for the stealthy scouts? I rest my case. We are merely taking our revenge on you for your sins.

Well, it's not exactly like most of the community has any situational awareness. And it's not easy to spot a cloaked scout in bright light, either. I don't need luck, I have ammo.
