Remove the Scout Rifle or Empires Dies

Scouts are powerful as fuck for taking down a base. 10 mortars to take down a barracks, about 4 if a scout sabs it first.

 

Too many people are just assuming any new scout stuff will be dropped in as is. If Scout is going to get new shit, ever, then he's getting a total overhaul, so you can't apply current gameplay issues with him to future situations, because they're not applicable.

 

Then in the mean time, remove the fucking scout rifle and save Empires. Be a hero.

 

Scout Rifle isn't getting removed. At any point.

 

Its good to see some explanation as to why after seeing how most of the community over the past 5 years loathed it.

 

Problem with the Scout Rifle has always been Hide, not the rifle itself. Take from that what you will.

 

Then play more pubs. You'll change your tune after getting fucked over by the scout rifle.

Actually, I never really see you in a pub. If you want to save Empires, you need to understand the reasons that public games suck. The scout rifle is a big issue, but it isn't the only one.

 

How exactly was hide ever the problem with sr?
Hide is fucking uselss on big maps where sr is that gay, even if you know where the enemy is, the only way to kill-counter him is to get sr's of your own.
Hide is gay when you get people sticking to 4 surfaces , getting invisible and sablocking a vital building.

 

Mhmm, this. I'm interested in learning how hide makes a difference in enormous Empires maps.

And why do we even need a sniper rifle?

... i hope no one took this serious ...

 

Paradox did.

oldfags like myself boats about finding gamebreaking glitches and new meta.
Paradox found a way to no scope faster.

yeey to you.

 

"kill-counter" also readable as permament solution.

 

That was not the point D.

 

How often is the Scout Rifle used as an effective weapon, by anyone? Because if the only people using the Scout Rifle are new players, then there's no reason to keep the weapon.

 

The only reason I don't use it more often is because my ping is generally too high to be consistently effective with it. If I was any good, I'd use it much more often when scunting.

Also, I commonly use it when defending a barracks from a gren or dealing with an HMG whore. It's really effective for dealing with them.

 

Again, as i said, not the point, for fucks sake.


Seriously, i dont want to iterate everything exactly step by step when i mean every goddamed time i type something.

I dont se anyone using scouts as anti campers weapons anyway. Unless someones being a dick and camping with hmg a mile away, rifles are better any day.
