I believe scouts are just a trend because of the new cloaks.

The majority of scouts I'm seeing are pretty bad, so the numbers of scouts will die down a little.

Ave. We skilled recons are mad at these "so called scouts" who are all FotM and trying to steal us old guy's glory.

How many of these new "scouts" are sticking to the traditional Sniper role? 'bout 1 in a hundred, there all in here for the cloak.

And the shotgun, that's really all you see. Given, there are a few of us old bloods out here who are good at the true scout skills and don't need a cloak to get a high KDR.

Sic 'em bastards.

Lol I use the cloak but only to get around and flank more effectively in open areas.

O.o I find that contrary. In the open ground, cloaking DOES reduce your profile but also a flickering light is a good attractor for Sniper forge heavies or other Snipers. Like me.

I'm guilty of the same, at times, really. Especially if I am in an urban area, I use cloaks move around and to scout out my enemy first, then switch to SR to pick 'em off.

Found a cloaked logi once. Probably thought he was one hell of a sneaky bastard 'till I pegged him with a headshot kill.

Even ambush, ever since the recent vehicle limit imposed, has now become more infantry focused with battles being more epic than ever before. Yes there are still plenty of bugs to deal with but so far the fairness of the matches and the balance of weapons and suits has made DUST much more tolerable and thus enjoyable to me. This has even encouraged me to spend some aurum on boosters even. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer Everything I know about the Caldari I learned at Nouvelle Rouvenor

Has anyone else noticed the matches seem much more balanced then before? I think this is another reason people complain since with the better matches you tend to die more. I've only had one domination where we red lined the other side and they managed to break it after a few minutes. Sure my squad will usually win matches but now they're fun and not just a red line fest half the time like before. I will be amazed if CCP never bothered to fix matchmaking at this point because it feels like they fixed matchmaking. It's probably because we have new suits, weapons, cloaks, and other things that have affected matchmaking perhaps.

Have you ever spotted a cloaked scout in those open areas where the terrain is bright and the day is sunny so that the shimmer is hidden due to lack of contrast?

Should help force a lot of cloak scouts into playing tactfully. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer Everything I know about the Caldari I learned at Nouvelle Rouvenor
