Youare right. Scout is combat regardless.

The ninja knife scout can probably only kill a lone wolf lost in a complex at best while being a pest to the others.

this is what people have been saying, but alas, it always falls on deaf ears.

yes, Scout is combat, but it is a different style of combat from a suit like Assault. its not a in-your-face run-and-gun style of combat. and yes, it is partially support.

It's a broken because the strafe was dialed down to sub-snail "please someone shoot me in the face" speed style of combat.

The scout isn't useless, not for the other team.

last comment.

I disagree with your hyperbole. It doesn't really feel slow to me. maybe it is because I played Logi last build exclusively, and did not play the Scout till this build.

ether way, I hope they raise the strafe speed to the ceiling in the next build. I hope they raise it so much that nobody bothers to use anything but the Scout Suit. I'm tired or seeing the arguing and bickering over it. I hope CCP does whatever it needs to to make you guys specifically, personally satisfied.

and with that said. you guys win. I'm going to start subscribing to the K/D is Everything, nothing else matters mentality.

huzzah.
