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.
I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...

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.

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?
Actually, I have. Multiple times. Perhaps it is because I have good eyesight. You do have a point however, some older folks out there with poorer eyesight may not be able to catch them, I admit even for me it was hard. But I still look for that shimmer...and peg 'im before they get close to any blues.
