    what is the purpose of the scout?

    scouting in empires is not necessary. everyone can type. everyone can warn others of a incoming tank.

    sabotaging is just a little toy. whit no real influence on the battlefield. it gets fixed anyway in matter of seconds.

    what is the purpose of the scout?
    i see none. hes just the dude whit a ranged rifle and cool stealth tricks. but hes not needed in a fast paced game like empires.

    what could make the scout usefull?

    tell me.

    SMG2 + enhanced senses + empty = piles of dead infantry.
    That's what it's for.

    You tell me.
    But a GOOD scout can do some things, like sabotage. But you only need one scout in each team.

    exacly! the scout is useless in every matter in empires!

    and "some things" isnt enough to protect this class.

    BEAR + damage bonus + dig in = no living infantry outside theyr base.

    the big thing scouts bring to the table is sticky stun grenades

    Whatever we do, adding more skills/weapons to it won't help.

    The fastest way to make the scout useful is to take it and add it to the rifleman class

    and stickies so trying to drive them over would be.. pretty bad idea,

    btw [caps] stop fucking suggesting to give the sr to the riflemen, you want to make a big cancer even bigger. /[caps]

    up : so what, if you can take silencer/ stamina, you ll never get regen, snipers (yes snipers) very rarely get over 20 if its not a stalemate when they are even more useless.
