In all seriousness though you can't be fully invisible. Yes yes I know we're in a space age shooter that allows us to fire plasma and lasers but its physically impossible to be fully invisible Its "physically" impossible to die and respawn a few seconds later  Well it is your clone remember? when you die there is a countdown "clone termination imminent". so when you spawn,its a new clone! or so I think how it goes I was trying to point to the fact that you immortal in this game. Being invisible should not be impossible. I personally will prefer if the HUD or whatever its called doesnt turn red when you have it on a cloaked clone. Some maps make cloaking useless or have a red arrow on your head? I'll admit it does give off cloakers sometimes, you have a point.Huge open maps will not hide anyone though
If a scout is using their slots for armour rather than dampeners, then they should definitely have a red arrow above their head. You need to use sp and slots wisely to make suits viable.
And as for maps, some are no good for heavies, loads suck for snipers, some are better than others for Logis. You can't have one suit that's perfect in every situation, that's silly. |

Boo hoo dude, do you hear that? It's the whambulance and its coming for your crybaby emergency!
(P.S. Everyone cries about remote explosives being too op but they've been nerfed to hell and back but all the cloaks scouts cry they can't sneak up on you invisible and kill you which is worse than RE's) My idea has nothing to do with not being able to sneak up on people. It has to do with the shimmer effect being far too obvious. It actually lights you up on the screen. Even at long range. I watch snipers easily follow and take out cloaked scouts.
It's not always obvious. I've had scouts running up to me wearing a cloak, started shooting at them, they strafe and then they're gone! Then splat, I'm dead. Nobody should be able to hide in a shadow and then splat mercs. |

Nobody should be able to hide in a shadow and then splat mercs. Funny thing is I find them the most obvious to see in the shadows. The glowing blue light seem more obvious on a dark background.
It depends on your tv and your eyes. I see things differently depending on the size of my tv (and if it's hd) and find it harder to spot scouts if I'm sat more than 1m away from it (which I rarely do).
If the scout is running in bright light, it's more obvious to me. But even then I struggle. Most of the time when I snipe a cloaked scout it's because they've been shield/armour tanking and not profile dampening at all, so still have a red chevron above their head, which makes them much less sneaky! |
