We can hope can't we?

I wish the end board showed the percentage of time in-match.

Generally, the later you arrive the worse it makes you look. In my case... I worry about looking like a useless sniper since the majority of players already hate snipers.

For 1on1 NKs fights I would say you're better off running, but there are players out there that I've seen pull it off against Meds, but they're very experienced Knifers. If you feel you must fight them, then charge and jump at them (Do a running jump), try jump to their side and rotate your view accordingly, so you're not jumping right into their gun.

If you dont want to 1v1 them, run, and hide around a corner (Make sure its not near an installation, or objective, those things can scan you, they have a Precision of 0db), charge your knives, and pop out and knife them just as they're about to turn the corner. Ishukone should one kill them, depending on their buffer, ZN-28s might take two swipes.

Its also important you learn the maps inside out, for those quick getaways, so hop into an Oceania server, and just adventure around each facility, finding useful areas, and shortcuts.

Its what I done for about a week, and I found a way up to an area in my Scout suit, that was only accessible via Dropship, until I found out how to do it using 1337 parkour skills.

Anyone else think the combat logi tears are extra sweet today?

They don't get side arms people are saying they should only carry side arms.

Heck yes. Since winter Carnage, I've realized how strong these suits are. They have been out in proto force sitting on op rep hives. prof 5, 2 damage mods, advanced tactical sniper. 3 shots and they are still alive, reload, and they are back to full armor. /quote]


you're doing it wrong.
First clear out their junk, with either plasma cannon or forge gun.


or... you need to switch to charged sniper rifle+ headshots? :D


To put it another way; it makes sense that ADV gear fails against proto suit+proto gear.

Switch to proto damage mods + proto sniper, then see how tough they are.

You make a poor argument. We already know AR >> ALL. So that is invalid.

You also dont give any data(?) to compare how a proto sniper weapon would have faired against the proto suit.
You said you were only using ADV gear.
If a proto sniper weapon (not including the Ishukone, because that.. .. that's just junk).. also failed against the suit, then there would be more legitimate cause for complaint.

Sounds like you're just sore that YOU couldnt take down the opponent, rather than giving a balanced look at the issue.

Should we all send in support tickets

So the Devs take note of a random MedFrame's opinion of what would help Scouts?
We've been offering input and advice for how many months?
And this is the sh*t that catches their eye?

If I want to share what I see, I'll run an Active Scanner.

We've had this debate already, but I'll reiterate ... this is a MedFrame buff, not a Scout buff, and it'll make sneaking up on targets even more difficult. Folks don't give a rat's a*s if they get us killed by alerting those we're trying to sneak up behind. When folks see red they fire. Shared Sight is bad news for those of us who sneak up from behind our targets.

While I originally supported the idea of allowing scouts to share their passive scan results with their squad, I've realized that it is a bad idea. It would be OP for the same reason the scanner is now--It provides a constant feed of enemy locations. Should the scanner ever get nerfed (and it sorely needs one), scouts would become the new scanner. It's alright for a single scout to have a constant feed since we pay dearly for it. However, giving us shared passive scan would make that irrelevant since we would always have a squad to back us up and keep us on our feet while also ensuring the only effective tactics are simple straightforward advances.

myofibs and back pedal speed up next.

on a related question, since you are intimately familiar with fast movement.

I have been playing BF again, 4, and there is a certain freedom, if you will, in all movement, jumping, aiming, shooting , running.

Can any one, tell me, or do basic research on

comparative walk speeds, jump height, camera movement, ie,pitch and yaw speed, run speed as a % of walk speed.

I am trying to figure out if there is a sweet spot, that we can get too by increasing forward walk speed overall.

Don't base it off of Scouts though, but if you tell me scouts are closer to bf4 than assaults, then that helps.

I came into this game during open beta about 2 years ago as a sniper.

Speeds were MUCH higher then than they are now. Granted, the sniping game was in a much better place, and rendering was much less an issue, but I never found speed to be an issue. I always led my target, and let them run into my recticle.

Sniping isn't easy, and isn't supposed to be. I think my biggest problem with it at this point is that the zoom on the scope is not enough, and now you are trying to snipe a small target with a small recticle, and the rendering issue.

Speed I think should not really be taken into consideration.

On another note, here's a random $5 Aurum code I'm not using. First come first serve.

78G6-AKN9-DA4P

1. From the PlayStationNetwork icon on the XMB, select 'PlayStationStore'
2. Select the 'Redeem Codes' icon located in the upper right of the screen.
3. Enter code and click 'Continue'.

All scanners except for Duvolle Focused are team-shared.

Ok nerds. How are the shield changes playing out for you with your preferred gank fits. My few runs with scout suits invariably involve really pissing people off.

But the cal and minscout both got shield buffs. Have you noticed an improvement in their battlefield performance?

Galscout: has your meta been affected?

Amscout: "shields? Huh? There are shields on this thing?"
