first game, pub ambush, solo... went 16-1
skill needed? far less than using a FOTM assault scout. even popped a heavy had just turned to face me. rest its childs play to evade.
and scouts are still QQing? joke. april 1st was yesterday.
Shotgunning with no skills, is actually easier than a max skilled shotgun. Because the shot spread is at its widest, meaning you are less likely to miss. But the easy mode part isn't the shotgun. It's the fact that you can fire the first shot before the cloak dissipates.
The shotgun has barely changed in 1.8, yet the QQ is through the roof. The only thing that's different is that it's much easier to close the distance on your target & not get pumped full of aim assisted, stacked damage modded, rifle plasma from 60m away. |

I find the cloak is mainly useful for making my way around a group of reds. When I'm closing the distance the target shouldn't be looking in my direction anyway, and if they happen to turn around at the wrong (or right ;)) time I expect to be seen, cloaked or not. I suppose remaining cloaked all the way lowers the risk of getting spotted by someone other than the target, but that's more or less it.
From my experience with cloaks in 1.8, you can run straight at about 7 out of 10 players & they will run right past you. I have literally ran into groups of reds just to test it & it works better than even I would have assumed. But for some reason I see most cloaked scout, if they end up in my LOS. It ultimately boils down to situational awareness. I actually perform better without cloaks, but have found some usefulness in certain situation that otherwise would have spelled my doom. |
