Eh, I've lasered cloaked scouts and have been lasered in turn, when cloaked. I've been shot out of cloak by AR commandos that never pinged on radar and have watched lines of cloaked scouts running single-file to the next objective. That was actually kinda cool. Anyway, my point is as bad of a player that I am, I'm still seeing cloaks and ruining their game when I can and it's happening to me just as much---I mean, if we're speaking only on opinion and anecdotal evidence and such.
Shotgun is fun, but as cal scout I'm enjoying the AR more. I'll play with more weapons as I get more comfortable. My point is, sooner or later I have a feeling a lot of kills will be less de-cloaks at point-blank-range. Instead, save time by using cloak to get map advantage, then kill at range. That will put scouts pretty much at the place everyone else has been to the scout for some builds now. Just the scout will be able to get there faster and easier. I'm not complaining.
Yesterday I saw a scout de-cloak on me as I was hacking an Objective. I instinctively backed off assuming he had a shotgun (who hasn't, since release?), pulled my AR and started to fire only to die instantly to his FG. It took me a minute to figure out wtf just happened. It was brilliant. Everyone started with SG. Now a lot of scouts SEEM to be switching it up learning to counter typical fits. That or they're getting bored. Either way, the scout class is diversifying and it's not been two weeks. In that same time, I'm seeing non-cloaked players adapt, visually scanning the area for blurry motion, and not just running blind into a hack. I wonder what another two weeks will bring? I repeat from another post: to kill a rabbit you have to think like a rabbit. Hell, we're pretty squishy if we're specced for hide-n-go-seek.
Off topic, I'm really enjoying running up on another cloaked scout. He saw me but isn't quite sure where I am. So we spend the next 30+ seconds slowly moving in a circle hoping the other decides to run for it. That or shotgunning each other in the face for a double-kill. I always msg those with a big grin.
Eh, I'm rambling. Move along.... these are not the droids you're looking for.
- me.
