    Ever noticed something about suggestions about the scout? They have very little to do with making him a scout. In fact, they're actively searching for a new role... They just can't find it. Maybe he shouldn't be called a 'scout'. Besides, it'll probably be easier to define a new role if the scout is actually named after that role.


    So, without further ado, the list...
    (With your suggestions to be added.)

    Possible Names:
    • Scout
    • Inglorious Bastard
    • Saboteur (2)
    • Assassin
    • Blimpz guy
    • Special Forces (2)
    • "Special" Forces
    • Hacker (2)
    • Recon (2)
    • Scunt
    • Ranger (2)
    • That Guy
    • Raeger
    • Field Ops (2)
    • noobtarp (2)
    • Embedded Journalist
    • Don't-Use
    • Spectator
    • Medic
    • Stealth Ops
    • Assault Ops
    • Special Ops
    • Special Assault
    • Stealth Assault
    • Field Assault
    • Field Support
    • Stealth Support
    • Assault Support
    • "The Candyman"
    • Special Support
    • Spy
    • Informant
    • Pointman
    • "Mirage" Trooper
    • "Ghost" Trooper
    • "Boom" Trooper
    • Sniper
    • Operations Trooper
    • Rogue
    • Assassin
    • "Shade" Trooper
    • "Specter" Trooper
    • Prowler
    • Charger
    • Assaulter
    • Demo Ops
    • Ninja
    • Mobile Support
    • Mobile Assault
    • Necromancer
    • Survivalist
    • Ambusher
    • Info Tech
    • Info Specialist
    • Specialist
    • Captain
    • Officer
    • Pilot
    • Kiddy Fiddler
    • Useless-Piece-of-Shit-Class
    • Grenadier
    • ...

    First we have to know what the new role is.

    Saboteur? Assassin? Blimpz guy? (He would have a gun that creates blimpz.)

    Well, in some twisted, perverse way, renaming the scout will define the new role. So consider this a vague way of having your cake and eating it too. (Or solving the chicken vs. egg problem by live birth and genetic manipulation.)

    Special Forces.

    Could mean elite forces that infliltrate behind enemy lines and cause trouble, or it could mean the forces that ride the short bus to battle and spend alot of time prone in open fields. Which one depends on what the scout gets and whether the devs ever get around to improving the emp_recruit AI :)

    Or call the scout a hacker and let them download various bits of information from enemy buildings, and force enemy tanks to bluescreen and reboot.

    Or keep the name scout (or recon) and give them comm targets because thats the only way a real scout will ever be useful

    I honestly love playing Scout, and I only use Scout to go behind enemy lines and sab my victims entire base. So Special Forces rename would fit in perfectly as to how I play the Scout.
