which suit is that?

Actually the range of a Scout ck.0 suit with max skills and max modules is still less than half that of the range of an active scanner. So yes I would say this provides balance. Not to mention passive scans are still not perfected. Every few matches I notice players not showing up on my passive scans for absolutely no reason at all.

RANGE is ur argument? does it reach all of ur RADAR? ... '?' ... the answer is yes. which means its better... u have 2 FREE equipment slots

Newsflash - passive scans have always been better than active scans. In 1.7, active scanning was easier to use/skill up and therefore more players flocked to it, but it wasn't characteristically better than passive scans.

Now that active scans are crap, many people are flocking to the scouts for their excellent scan abilities. Just sucks to be a medium or heavy as you're the only ones who don't have this level of intel.

ive had prescision enh since day 1... u dunno wtf ur talking about

I have no argument, what so ever. It's just silly to compare passive and active scans. They have two separate roles on the battlefield. Active scans are still a very useful tool you just can't 360 spin and reveal damn near half the map every 10-20 seconds.

Why passive scans are better than active:

1) They are 100% accurate within their scan precision.
2) They are always on and therefore constantly refreshed.
3) They do not require you to put away your weapon to work
4) They do not give your enemy any notification that they have been scanned.

However, passive scanning is only really good for offense if you can get a scan range of about 40m.

Scouts are great in 1.8 since with only passive skills fully upgraded and no modules, they get 30m (37.5m for Cal and Gal) and 36dB (27dB for Cal).

If you upgraded your precision enhancement to 5 and expected to see people in your heavy suit, you'll be disappointed.

Without mention that active scanners are useful to all the squad.

ur argument was FROM 1.7 ... & passive DIDNT FKN WORK then, so STFU, our arguments are the SAME, ur just too much an idiot (trying to be inexplicably argumentative) to see it

Passive scans did work in 1.7. I was an E-WAR scout in 1.7 so I'd know.

You're the one being offensive (and immature). I am saying that passive scans have always been better than active scans, in 1.8 and in previous patches.

The only difference is that the mediums/heavies who complained so much about active scanners got them nerfed in 1.8, so they don't have access to the level of intel that scouts still enjoy. Seems like they were just as reliant on their "crutch", and now scouts are mopping face because they know where everyone else is, and everyone else is hopelessly lost.

nerf the ACTIVE SCANNER, then make a suit that has PROTO passive scan equal to what was JUST nefrfed 360-¦. u guys ROCK!

Because only one suit can do it, with proper module fitting, as opposed to every suit with an empty equipment slot and PG/CPU to spare.

passive DIDNT FKN WORK for SHITE since Chrome & until 1.8... u Dont know JACK!!!
