No.

So let's remove it altogether then, tough guy...Remove it from vehicles, too... As a matter of fact, let's get rid of the mini-map and ewar altogether and we'll see what's what...Let's get rid of hives and uplinks, too -- Both make the game way too easy, imo and they only nullify what should be strategically critical CRUs and resupply stations spread around the map...

Now that I think about it, let's eliminate health regen also...That is easily the nubbiest feature of modern FPS games, and I remember the era when we didn't even have that... Deal?

Add the fact that there is only one good scanner and that scanner has such a long interval before reuse , it's like these people just don't want to use e-mods but have the best of all worlds .

Tank , recharge ( shield and armor ) , damage stacking , maneuverability while using bio's and zero drawbacks while most scanners have such a horrible decibel tracking ability , nothing but a few dampeners wouldn't be able to get under unless you play heavy ( sent and commando ) and those are the suits that need scanners .

People always claim e-mods do nothing but at the same time , don't utilize them because they don't want to " gimp their suits " .

You have more people that play scout more then any other role and I don't need numbers for that , I play the game and see what I see , sometimes I play games where 7, sometimes 8 out of 16 players are using scouts , scanners are the counter to that and a lot don't use e-mods and get a bonus to e-war as well .

Why complain and how could you for that matter .?. because you don't like to see " Your scanned " , well use e-mods because that's what their for .

I use scanners and I'm killed a lot from behind by people who use e-mods and play tactically , not trying to charge head first into a firefight , using their cloaks to avoid detection or leave out of hot spots to reposition themselves .

But you have people that say that cloaks are useless as well , I always say that depends on the user , in the right hands their effective but items and mechanics shouldn't change because of the laziness of the user or the lack of skill of most .

To the first point, yes if being scanned is such a deal breaker to your fun, then you should be running scout. Especially if your current plan involves being undetected(shotgunflanking for example) .

To the second, if you don't see the benefit of having an enemy of your team not shooting at you, I don't know how to help you.

The person running scans is playing for the team, and you want to nerf his team helping because you don't want to pay the cost(lower eHP) of running a scout suit to avoid being scanned.

The easiest thing to do would be to learn to fight instead just flank, but that might be above your skill ceiling based on your posts.

You ever play metro on BF 3 or 4? All it took was one recon with a T-ugs and everyone showed up, no hiding, no recharging, no cooldown and they have their gun out and they can have other equipment as well. Certainly didn't break anything there, and with the much lower ttk it should have.

Embrace fighting while scanned or run a scout suit, you have a choice, you just don't like the options so you want the game changed to suit you, to which I say nope.

I said if the sound was better, but its not, and so scanners.

My idea of battles in dust is people choosing the right suit for the role they want to play. The only reason why you are permanent scanned is because you refuse to run a scout suit. Let the people who can shoot and fight go a do that while you flank uncanned if that is what you need to do.

Knowing where the enemy is doesn't make killing them any easier, you still need to actually fight them. Have you never been the bait for a scanner? Let them scan you, retreat around corner with RE trap and harvest dot chasers.

Given the angles of scans, it isn't impossible to get out of the angle for satisfying flanking action, unless you only play dom, in which case switch your game mode if you want a more open ended match experience.

You really seem like you want all the benefits of a medium frame without any drawbacks, which is kind of childish. For someone who seems so bent out of shape by scanners, why do you not run a scout suit?

Not buying it.

You have the ability and the people around you to win the fight, being scanned doesn't matter.

If you NEED stealth, which not every role needs, run a scout suit.

If for some reason you must not be scanned in a medium frame(why is really beyond me), then you get to gimp your HP to less of a scout for no gain. Knock yourself out I guess.
