Remove the Scout Rifle or Empires Dies

Fuck you, you're right.

Ok, then let's hope it's not a nade launcher. That was unlikely anyway.

 

I am loving these ideas.

 

Losing my shit repeatedly.

 

I thought it was confirmed ages ago as a shotgun that will probably never be implemented. But just because we all love to ignore that and make shit up, it's a rail rifle that does bio damage.

 

guys.... I figured it out.... its a http://youtu.be/IUQxI_wasK8?t=12s

 

So that means the scout is getting a revolver-style grenade launcher with an underslung shotgun, eh? Don't forget to replace pistol1 with SMGs and it'll be perfect. You finally fixed the scout, Trickster!

 

I still like the scout rifle

I never see anyone use it but me and the best of the best vets who can fucking shoot a flies nipples off from across duststorm.

 

make it a tranquilizer sniper gun with 2 hp damage and a 3 second stamina drain.

... I am out of good ideas. Make it a dart gun which penetrates walls. Derp

 

AT RIFLE. It would be in the best interest of empires!

 

Didn't Trickster already call everyone retarded about a month ago who posited the idea that replacing the scout rifle with a hit-scan anti-tank rifle could ever conceivably be an acceptable idea in Empires?

 

Clearly it is a full auto 40mm multipurpose grenade launcher, with options for any combination of either buckshot, tesla, toxic, he(ugl), smoke, flare, sticky gren, sticky stun, sticky heat-over-time, conc, upgraded seismic, plasma, parachute+camera, parachute+radar....

 

Doesn't kill my dreams...

 

I vote we bring back the glitched sniper rifle where you can shoot your entire magazine in 2 seconds.

 

Just finished a match. The scout rifle is still ruining matches. That's all.

 

It will probably be replaced by the shotgun. Stop whining.

 

Trickster already announced that it is not going away ever. This problem will continue and probably get worse after the scout becomes moderately useful.

"This class gets the shotgun and sniper? I thought they said this game had a lot of difficult decisions."

Every player that uses scout will still go through that period where they need to try out the rifle. Hopefully, they eventually decide to use something better sooner rather than later.

 

I can barely remember the last time a scout killed me with a rifle. Even when they do all you need is a jeep to get close enough to slaughter them as literally any other class, or just avoid them entirely. I think it is pointless but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Only when someone who is a good shot gets in a really good position for a really short amount of time is it an issue.

 

That's the problem.

There are plenty of noobs using the rifle, yet they accomplish nothing.

I've laid out my argument in the first post.

 

bah, they won't do anything useful until they learn the he anyway. Get rid of it and they'll. Only end up picking. Up the lmg
