Us true Scouts are not FoTM hoppers and we have been grinding it out, trying to get by as Scouts for a long time, the hardships we have faced have sharpened our skills immensely. Those new players who have skilled into Scout suits since 1.8 because they are FoTM hoppers are not able to effectively use Scouts to dominate they are weak willed and poorly disciplined.
Now, with minimally balanced TTK and Scout suits that actually have enough slots, PG, and CPU to be able to be used effectively, us Scouts who have been hardened by our vastly underpowered state now have the ability to use the skills and intelligence we have developed to dominate.
A squad of well organized Scouts should be able to take over a match, just like any well organized squad can take over a match. For a very long time now no matter how great the squad of Scouts was, they would lose 100% of the time to a well organized squad of any other suit. Now that Scouts have a chance to dominate in their own unique way points to balance existing in DUST.
Shut up. Take your crutches off. You're just an idiot.
I am a scout and I disapprove this message.
1.8 gave scouts 2 new excellent options, improved our current options by adding new slots (equipment plus hi or low slot).
1.7 wasn't a hard time for a scout, learn to play the role and you will excel. You're just a moron who thinks scouts should be the new Logi slayer when scouts in 1.7 could already dominate the match with a combination of kills, movement, and taking objectives.
Scouts were given plenty in 1.8 without cloaks. How many times as a scout did you think you escaped a kill and died around the corner, now that won't happen. Scouts don't have a hard time taking down players, and now they can get away, no need for a cloak.
There's no need for a cloak for a scout to excel. There's no reason for cloaks to be in the game period. If you can't play a scout properly then pick another class. If you want to be a slayer, run to the front lines and use your cloak to get a kill then you're not a scout.
