Has it occurred to anyone yet that everything is working as intended?
A scout suit is faster, has better scan radius, and more profile dampening -- all benefits to a play-style involving moving without being seen. In the previous build, I learned quickly that despite logic and rationality, my enemies that were in scout dropsuits would not necessarily die faster than anyone else. In fact, most of the time, the targets that died the fastest were in assault suits. I also quickly noticed that many of the elite players (Hellstorm players especially) all ran around in prototype scout suits, with no apparent disadvantage to their shields and armor. They were by no means using a sneaking playstyle, but playing exactly how you would expect someone in an assault suit to play. They were essentially faster AND better armored, which I thought was essentially bull****.
So now, scout suits are weaker than they were before? Perfect. If you've got a really fast and agile run & gun playstyle then you've got choices -- faster and weaker, or slower and stronger. You don't get to be faster AND stronger. Choices like these are essential to an FPS with defined roles and contribute greatly to the dynamic of a well balanced game. |

Well that sucks. I think scouts should have more. And if anyone who disagrees needs further info, seek the definition of the word "scout." |

Don't thank me, I know how bad an iPhone's auto-correct is. I fixed it for you ^-^
Haha well I never had a problem with the logis protos. Maybe it was just due the random circumstances I was in. |
