No. Do it yourself- shotgun + cloak.

Pull up cloak, activate. Press R2 and within the next .5 seconds press R1, you will shoot before you even decloak.
While this may be lag, it's more just the fact the game 'puts away' your cloak wayy to late.

Why there needs to be a delay before you can shoot. However this scrublet wants to keep his toy cause its the only way he gets kills with his brick scout.

Then you're a bad shot.

Seriously if you hit R1 before the shotty is fully 'pulled out' you can shoot it.
Just like sprinting to save 25% off that last bar on your reload.

Just like pressing R1 before the reloading animation is completed on the shotgun.

Quit being a wuss and take off the shotty.

Dexter, seriously stop.

I know you're defending your crutch, we all do.

The only one defending this is you. GG newb scrub GTFO.

Shotguns alone are fine- i even laugh when my proto scout is killed by a commando shotty.

It's when scrubs like you find a way to shoot someone whilst being invisible that pisses me off.

Like asshats who use SSD's to load matches 10 seconds early, and to make sure their excessive nano spam doesn't effect them.

Stop posting in my thread. You're not being constructive nor critical, only scrub.

LMFAO @Dexter.

You shot gunned me four times in a match and never de-cloaked.


Capes are useless, they are not required, not needed.. They are garbage and just a crutch and an excuse for scouts who have no skill and want a massive advantage.

Nothing but a bunch of next generation Logi slayers who can't play a true scouts role and want to slay all. Its same people calling for the nerf of heavies cause they can't take them head on 1v1 and kill them.

Cloaks are a joke.

Scouts got a really nice buff in 1.8 without cloaks, you saying you sucked at 1.7 and needed more than an extra slot and equipment slot.. And on top of that more suit options?

Its a crutch for your broken leg, i mean broken tactics.

Don't have the awareness to hack without checking surroundings, well just cloak.

Can't sneak up using positional play on foes, well cloaks will help accomplish your **** play.

Don't know when to engage an enemy, well a cloak will help.

Want to run across wide distances in the open with a fragile suits, cloak.

Just **** gameplay rewarded. No skill required. No strategy or kill anymore. Just cloak run straight at someone and attack them. No flanking, just run straight to the front lines and enrage foes. Its a joke, any scout from open beta should be embarrassed that a scout has come down to this bullshit.

Scouts, some had a difficult time, weren't broken in 1.7 - so scouts got a nice buff, more flexibility, more adaptability, more options (got one hi and one low on suits that were released and 2 new suits with great functionality) ... Why do you need a cloak, scouts would be been plenty good without then. Cloaks are a crutch and scouts are bitches for not seeing that cloaks are junk.

No, just sad to see you defend a broken mechanic cause its the only way you can get kills. My situational awareness has nothing to do with the fact you can dump a shotgun magazine before you finish decloaking. Scrub.

I kill plenty of you scrubs to satisfy my appetite. Just sad to see you defend a broken mechanic ago you can pretend you are good.

You...

You wouldn't happen to be an alt of Takahiro or Spkr, would you?

Your pathetic defense of a broken mechanic is amusing me.



And whoever it was who suggested tankers (aside from the aforementioned) are defending triple hardened tanks...? DIAF.

Says the shotgunning cloaked scout.

all day on my scout alt.
its cloak, find paraniod merc, uncloak and spam that mothaflukin R2 with shotty

But it does let you exploit a BS mechanic.

No it's his internet connection that never experiences lag and his eyes that can see invisible scouts in the heat of battle. He hears that de-cloaking sound a can always turn in time to drop them, his awesomeness is what makes cloaks not a problem for the rest of us.

So now it's everyone else's inferior equipment anything but your crutch. Maybe just maybe your making too many excuses rather then seeing the obvious.

Anything but you needing a crutch got it.

He has no real argument so he's spouting nonsense in denial of the obvious.

You're just making **** up. This is your argument for cloaks remaining as they are? Pretending my TV and internet suck? Enjoy your nerf, it'll come don't you worry.

So your argument is "cloaks are fine because you can see them easily if you don't have crappy internet or TV" correct? If cloaked scouts are so easy to see then why are you defending them so furiously? I think the rest of the thread posters have you pegged you FotM chasing, crutch needing, scruffy looking, nerf herder!

As a shotgun/NK scout, i agree. The cloak should not be abused like its being right now. It seriously needs a hotifix so that people can't shoot while no one can see them except for that tiny shimmer

Now where did I say I had inferior equipment? All I did was point out yet another excuse you used to defend cloaks allowing you to fire before uncloaked.

How did I imply it? I make fun of your superhuman senses, then you claim its my TV and internet, and I sarcastically reply to that. You are the one who brought five inch TV and dial up into it. Reading comprehension isn't really your thing is it?

Never said you couldn't... My beef is being able to fire before being de-cloaked. Seeing as I am not the only one seeing it, or able to do it that means it's not lag or my TV. CCP said you wouldn't be able to fire while cloaked so it's a fair complaint, even if it's due to the crappy animation, invisible is invisible.
