Not aim. Get lucky. Aiming has nothing to do with it. The rate at which a scout strafe causes on to have to lead by as much as 2 character models to hit. If they cut and strafe the other way they no longer meet the bullet so no hit is registered in most cases there is another person shooting the scout in the side so the strafing does not affect him. I am not the best player when it comes to gun game...that title goes to proto, but I am also not a scrub by any means. Scouts die fast when they aren't moving.

-Sigh- Heavies and Machine-guns and now Scouts and their Submachine Guns... Can't you people just accept the fact that there is **** in this game designed to kill you?

They even said at Fanfest that if a Scout suit gets close enough to move around you that you're ****** because you won't be able to turn fast enough - that is what they do. They are there to act as hit-and-run specialists. This "character model isn't big enough" bullshit honestly needs to stop right here and now.

Honestly, you people don't know how to adapt to a battlefield. We're about to enter a new build and you ******* -FINALLY- realized that tanks don't go away unless they're killed - so you all went Anti-Vehicle. Now, whenever you're faced with heavy Anti-vehicle on the opposition, you don't know how to go back to Infantry and bring the fight to them. You just spawn in more vehicles and die a lot saying that the Swarm Launcher/Forge Gun is over-powered.

YOU DIE. LEARN THIS ALREADY. ACCEPT IT. ADAPT AND SURVIVE.

Jesus christ - you know, I don't have any issues with this game. I get killed, I look back and learn what I did wrong and evolve on that. I used to run Scout suits frequently and for the past three weeks I've run Logistics - Scouts don't bother me. I aim, I fire, they die. They get too close, I die. That's the nature of this game.

Funny enough I have been sniped by heavies wielding forge guns from over a hundred meters away. That is insane.

Carlos you just need to learn how to aim....Yes that is your problem you are a scrub....who can't aim...

just using you as an example...you and proto have both posted on this forum yet these people somehow think that the people with the scout problem just can't aim....

I have God Nova on my PSN as a friend, Doc and I are a tad oldschool, we don't do comp coms, we have actually taken to do just ambush because there is only one game happening so we always play together...but when groups happen you can bet a scouts @ss in spandex we will jump on that.

Carlos I like you, but you are incorrect, Stryker already corrected you, but was unsure, so here goes. The ROF for the assault SMG is 1052.6, that is why it is the assault varient, higher ROF and increased range. It also has more effective range then the Boundless SMG, how do I know that? Because that is what the description says. It costs more CPU and PG then the other SMGs. I just want to get the facts out there and not opinions or speculation.

I think ARs are broken, but hey, I don't climb to the hills a scream out NERFGäó. I adapt. There is no need to NERFGäó when you can adapt.
It's the best part of playing a game that offers no set class. You gain the ability to experiment. Hell, I do it in MTG. I'm not the BEST player, but I'm getting a fair share of points for it.
Besides, if your not experimenting, how are you going to get better? Even if your main build is ARtard, you can learn how people move and adjust by honestly stepping in their shoes. I do it. Though I hate the heavy suit, it pays off to know just how long I can last in one, so I can counter it later.


Chameleonic adaption: changing to your environment to blend, which does not change what you are to begin with, but allows you to better adapt to your environment.

Creo will do roughly 80.64 per bullet....a proto sniper is more than 200....most sniper are actually doing about 300....my proto assault carries about 600 total HP...that is two shots, once I am hit I normally have to sit in cover for 10 seconds while I heal...more likely then not the sniper has called me out and I have a dance before I heal, just because people are good at aiming doesn't make something not balanced, there is a difference between QQ and looking at the facts, the OP of this thread was actually asking the DEVs if the scouts ability to seemigly not take dmg while performing a twitch strafe was intentional or if it is an issue that will be fixed with better hit detection, lag etc.
