I agree with you, except swarms still suck against HAVs and ADSs as best as I can tell.

Otherwise agree 100% & liked.

But when it come to AV a scout can out class a heavy in that department. Proto warm launchers and proto nano hives and the ability to run almost as fast as a tank can drive means that as an AV the scout can be a tank/ads killer with ease.

You are wrong. Top of the food chain is currently HMG.

They are everywhere and more and more players are using them.

A SG scout can still take down an HMG heavy no problem. Shoot him in the back of the head and then hop over him as he's turning around so you can shoot him in the back of the head again.

Lol not if it's point blank...you die in less than a second. And have you seen Heavies strafe? It's the most dangerous thing ever because the spray and pray wep (HMG) will kill you before you can even aim your shotgun...

Yes I have seen them strafe, I've been skilled into the sentinel since the 1.7 changes where posted last year. Majority of my deaths when playing heavy are from SG scouts that use their superior maneuverability against me, especially at point blank.

Edit: and as a scout if you're coming head on at an enemy you're doing it wrong. If you sneak up on a heavy he has little chance against you as long as you use your strengths the way they're meant to.

IF you die to a SG scout as a heavy you're doing it wrong. you have enough buffer to survive 2 shots and a 1k DPS weapon, IDK what else you need.

Even in my mlt heavy, its really easy to kill the SG scouts cause in CQC RoF wins

Edit: and as a scout if you're coming head on at an enemy you're doing it wrong (I bring this up because I see a lot of scouts charge at me as if they were in a fast heavy suit). If you sneak up on a heavy he has little chance against you as long as you use your strengths the way they're meant to.

A CQC scout is anyone's worst nightmare....with the speed and jumping ability they have ( as close to free running you can get in an fps ) they can chew through anyone.

I am a scout since closed beta when scouts and shotgun were the most OP combo ever, im talking about when shotgun profi skill increased rate of fire and not gave extra damage. As a scout i know exactly how deadly they can be, you can one-2 shot jut about any drop suit at close range and switch to the OP SMG or magsec smg for any kind of ranged battle and be able to run for clover when your out numbered.

Anyone who thinks that heavies are top of the food chain just because of their size, must have just started playing dust because with a larger hit box and slower movement then a scout how can they on top.

example.....

im a scout and i see you, so i sneak up behind you where you can't see me at all.......shoot you in the back of the head 1-2 times before you even have the chance turn around, and if your not dead then turn with you or just jump over your head and either shoot you on the top of your head or in the back again.

There is no chance for the heavy to even respond to my attack, only and only if a scout is stupid enough to try and go head to head with a heavy will the heavy win.

The scout hot fix that is coming will only effect the cal/gal scouts not the min or amarr so who they preform will not change.

Heavy om nom nom a scout unless its a Cal Scout. They are mysteriously impervious to the HMG

As a cal logi, sentinel, assault and scout I will tell you that this is not true. I die alot by the hands of hmg's. As a matter of fact getting hit is still slowing you down, especially speed suits.

Ever since we got the rest of the heavy suits and scout suits, scouts have been the top class to use. They oust assault the assaults with smaller hit box, faster movement even with armor mods, and the ability to cloak and then shoot people before they even notice they re almost dead.

Scouts can out logi a logi because they more then 1 equpiment slot so they can carry a nanite injector or nanohive or repair tool and get the same war points tat a logi can get especially with the abbility to change your suit in the middle of the game at a supply depo, just spam uplinks then switch at first supply depo then spam nano haive and switch a third time and use a needle and rep tool for the rest of the match.

As for right now the scout class can do just about everything better then the classes that are supposed to be the one that do that stuff, the only other class they can't do the same stuff better is being a heavy, since a scout can't carry a hmg or forge gun.

But when it come to AV a scout can out class a heavy in that department. Proto warm launchers and proto nano hives and the ability to run almost as fast as a tank can drive means that as an AV the scout can be a tank/ads killer with ease.

Honestly i think that the others classes need to be worked on so that they preform s they were built for instead of every other class doing what they do but better.

Agreed. There is a little trend going on called: Scout-QQ. Now that the scouts are being fixed you can stop making threads about it and see how the fix will work out. If it's not working out you can start the trend again.

P.S. The same people complain about scouts and AV, hmmm. New trend?

The Boundless HMG is at the top of the food chain.

Thats actually pretty accurate.

not only the Boundless. Any REG Version HMG.

im a scout and i see you, so i sneak up behind you where you can't see me at all.......shoot you in the back of the head 1-2 times before you even have the chance turn around, and if your not dead then turn with you or just jump over your head and either shoot you on the top of your head or in the back again.

Not if he's in my squad....you're not sneaking up on anyone. Or if you run enough dampness to get past my scans, you'll run into me, perhaps kill me if you're good, then die a second or two later to that HMG who I have just warned. :)

That said, I do tend to agree that cloaked scouts are a bit much for pub matches and unsuspecting targets, but CQC scouts, unless you're crazy good, don't pass the mustard any more running solo against a well-formed and skilled squad.

IMO of course...Leadfoot

p.s. what heavies are you 1 or even 2 shotting?

i see more heavys then scouts.
