    this might not be a bug, but am i meant to be able to do the following

    first get a hidden scout, then with the crosshair over aforementioned scout you can use the F menu to spot the scout like any normal person complete with diamond

    either i just haven't noticed i can do this, or i can see them perfectly fine and kill them first but ... is this meant to be so when they are hidden?

    This is intended. They should hide better.

    meh nvm then, its just if you know there is a scout in the area, eg in an obscure part of a vf, whilst looking around you can use repeatedly tap F to find out where they are, no matter how invisible they are

    I genuinely never thought of that. Then again, a new hide system will be coming in next version, so that won't be a problem anymore. Another good catch though Mkvenner.

    I thought you could usually do this but maybe not. But to find a scout near a building i've always found it quicker to pop a shot off and look for blood rather than tap F...

    if they are in a building, sabing, then i usually get enhanced senses, otherwise if they are out in the open, even against 3 sides, i just still kill them, dont usually waste time with spot, unless i'm dealing with people underwater, in trees or in a hard to spot place or apcs etc

    I have spotting binded so its as easy to do as killing them, actually I do them at the same time

    Nah, I saw what they did there ... it's not do(w)ne yet ...
    but I'm quite sure Dubee's FPS will instantly increase to 9001 with the new effect(s) ;3
