Do well in your new role, hopefully you will still be playing dust with us and not moving on FROM the game.....
On a side note on the new scout suits.... I am toying with the idea of speccing into more than one scout suit, maybe Gallente and one of the new ones..... maybe go all 4?
I mean, until speeder bikes and fighter jets, really - what else could I possibly WANT to spend my SP on other than scouts?

A couple of people were noting in the Scouts United channel earlier that hit detection on shotguns seems to be better and I noticed a few games while doing my general kill stats that shotties seemed to be faring better, so hopefully there was some sort of stealth fix... |

I had a few good matches and then....
Its very random, they seem to be hit extremely hard by even the slightest lag. Around objectives in particular they can misbehave quite badly. |

had an interesting battle with pseudosnipre on my base (D objective) he shelled me, hacked my base, I smgd him and hacked it back. I was taking cover then got shelled again, game over.
I did some BA sabatoging, I hope ya'll try this. Tell your pilot to drop you off near the enemy's base at the beginning of a skirm. Proceed with caution, I had REs but an UL can work just as fine. Try to defend that position lol! 3 scouts there and 3 scouts at our base should make for an interesting game. |

Hi Scouts,
Kindly pardon my prolonged absence. I've been tied up defending back-to-back attacks by TeamPlayers over the past several days. It would appear that this conflict has reached an end this morning, so back to business as usual for the Scout Registry.
On Arrivals and Departures: We have a few new Scouts to add and one to remove (The Cobra Commander). You guys will be added on my update tomorrow. In the mean time, feel free to join in-game channel "Scouts United".
On Uprising 1.3: Still no word from the Devs on when they plan to follow through with the promised "love in the future". So far, it would appear that we won't be getting any direct buffs in 1.3 (late July). Performance changes/improvements may work to our advantage this round; perhaps this is why we didn't get a rebalance pass. Time will tell.
On Shotgun Accuracy: A few nights back, I played several consecutive rounds running a K5 Specialist. Long story short, my accuracy returned to Chromosome levels (90% shots struck home). I suspected a ninja buff and asked you guys to offer feedback. I've gathered that there was in fact no ninja buff; my accuracy rate immediately returned to around 50% the following day. I've since written off my experience as a phantom, possibly magical, fluke.

Nice! Welcome back, sir.
Scoutly Brothers: Morathi is an excellent coach if anyone's looking for Shotgun/CQC training and tactics. Bojo's another good source for information. I agree with everything he's every written on the topic of Scouts.

I read this some time back; still a good read the second time through. Firstly, I'd recommend we revisit the revision following the release of 1.3. We're a week or two out, and there's no telling what CCP may change. With that said, here are the revisions I'd propose:
Suit: No Change High-Slots: No Change Nades: No Change
Low-Slots: Cardiac Regulator / Armor Repair Uprising 1.2 nerfed stamina across the board for all suits. Green pills are now necessary for anyone who wishes to travel long distances.
Equipment: Active Scanner Nearly every sniper in the game runs a medium frame. The lowest level Active Scanner will pick these guys up, making the hunt easier than ever. These gadgets are a personal favorite of mine as they remedy the Scout's nerfed scan radius.
Primary: Not a Breach Shotgun Another thing new to Uprising is phantom pellets. The fact that your SG will regularly shoot blanks renders the Breach SG inviable, IMHO. I'd recommend selecting a standard SG variant.
Secondary: Scrambler Pistol vs Flaylock vs SMG There's a good chance that sniper you're hunting is carrying a flaylock. May not be a bad idea to have one yourself. SMGs are pretty beasty from what I've read. I'd leave the secondary weapon up to user preference.

I assume they get angry when a scout sneaks up behind them and they don't have time to react. In my opinion, they shouldn't have time to react. The fact that they can currently withstand a point-blank shotgun blast or Nova Knife back-stab has dialed back their QQ frequency. Hoping for a return of Tears come 1.3. |

This is painful typing on a phone but beat with me.
We know the city maps. Specifically is C W/ CRU, and Bravo and Alpha.
Neat Charlie is an under ground passage. There is some pipes nearly touching. Run past them. Then walk. Half the time you catch the pipe while running. To the point of having to back up and walk threw.
Can some others test this?
Oh and 300 eHP suits for the WIN |

Perhaps you are correct, but I'm hesitant to fault PSN entirely. In other FPS multiplayer titles, and even in Chromosome, I've had zero difficulty tracking and hitting targets with a shotgun. As such, I suspect Uprising's CQC mechanics are more to blame. |

so I tried to run basic scout to make some cash,and immediately regretted it,however I did use the mass driver (standard) on a gallente (spelling?) scout and i have to say it works well if you have the right o mind to not hit yourself.
cheap,easy, and if your good at dodging rounds you can drop proto suits too ^.^
recommend an smg flux and remote explosives in this fit just don't get shot too much (read:at all) and you'll be able to drop any suit either by flanking,baiting,or suppressing.
just don't try the frontline thing like my stupid self did. |

News and Developments
Speed and Stealth, a Scout's greatest assets. There is little question that something changed in Uprising 1.2, something mechanical that turned our speed against us. Overnight, high-speed maneuvers and evasives were rendered ineffective, even detrimental. Numerous scouts have reported that walking to cover is now more effective than running for cover. Numerous snipers have reported that a sprinting Scout has never been easier to OHK. This new dynamic has been investigated, confirmed via experimentation and reported to CCP via multiple feedback, request and bug threads. While we've received no confirmation or response from the Devs, we've gathered much insight thanks to the investigative work of Spec Ops Cipher, Aeon Amadi and others.
Facts:
- The light-frame Hitbox and medium-frame Hitbox are now the same size (source unknown).
- A player's Collision Model and Hitbox are supposed to be separate models (per CPM).
- A player's Hitbox is not supposed to be affected by actions such as sprinting, jumping, etc (per CPM).
- While sprinting, a player's Collision Model expands dramatically (proven by Aeon Amadi and Spec Ops Cipher).
- As an LAV's speed increases, its driver's Hitbox expands dramatically (confirmed as intentional by CCP).
Observations: The fact that CCP remains quiet and CPM insists we're wrong suggests to me that this Hitbox handicap (shared by LAV drivers) may have been unintentionally applied to Scouts in 1.2. We won't know for sure until we experiment further or hear back from CCP. I'm hoping our investigation becomes moot on in the next week or two on the release of 1.3. It'd be nice to once again have the power to sprint out of harms way.
Happy Hunting, Shotty GoBang |

Why does the AR HAVE to be able to easily wipe out every suit in the game? Smg's, Hmg's, shotguns, forge guns, mass drivers, plasma cannons, snipers, flaylocks, sp, and charged scrambler rifle shot just obliterate scouts. If they actually give us the speed buff we so desperately need to differentiate ourselves from assaults and the logi jacked up on biotics, we're going to have nerf scouts threads popping up everywhere. Instead of a squad of 6 making sure they all have duvolle rifles equipped, lets have some VARIETY once in a while making sure your squad can deal with multiple situations, not just "Pull out AR and kill". I want this game to be different than other shooters but it seems like all the variety players get shafted the most. Dropships, tanks, scouts, heavies, all have been waiting so patiently for their buffs, racial variants, racial weapons, etc. Anywho, keep up the good work Shotty GoBang. I really don't like playing this game in its current state which is why I haven't capped since uprising and have played 4 matches for the past 5 weeks. I just want this game to become the great game we all thought it could be since the closed beta but it looks like it's going to be a good LONG while before it happens. |

If you do play overly aggressive, tip, know where you are going and how to get there. Think how tankers think. KNOW your way in, KNOW MULTIPLE ways out. Use your eyes and ears.
With hit box problems, your SPEED is your greatest strength and weakness. The idea of the aggressive scout is either to single small groups with flux and run, or stragglers or counter ninja.
Mass Driver and Flaylock feels to be an asset to the scout, even if it is a little ..d-baggy. The greater part of using it, it does cause targets to disengage. Use that to retreat and find a different target. |
