Hey this is a clip of a full game, i am playing the Scout Mech with only Air Compressor internals, everything else is default. I happen to go 17/0 with a Super Kill! Whats a Super Kill??? Not 3 or 4 but a 5 kill streak! I had no Medic and was not playing passive hiding behind my team.

Hope you enjoy the clip  -   Nevesnet

Scout is actually more balanced then ever.

To be honest 17/0 is not that impressive.

A good Scout can go like 30/0/20 in a pub match.

Also, bragging will not get you very far here. Just saying.

He can partecipate in 50 kills out of 40? Sounds OP.

In an MA I did 44-4-16 with a scout. If you know how to use a scout and move, it is a very effective mech. Also, knowing not go YOLO helps.

Was wondering how long that would take to get pointed out, lol.  

On Topic - I think the Scout is a riot to play.  Pre-steam, post-steam, on a boat, or while wearing a coat, Scout is fun.

Edit - Very witty, after seeing Omega's post I now see the immediate assumption I made based on the OP's movie.  Good stuff.

I see a lot of blindsiding and picking off stragglers. Almost no duels.

For gods sake that Raider at the start was using the Grenade Corsair at close range.

Talking about Siege/MA? No limit on kills there bub. I don't play TDM, except the 2 or 3 times they make you on a new account. Bleh.

A dude with 60ish ping fighting a team of people who have 160 ping at the lowest (roughly 3x as much latency as yours, and well over the 120-130 mark that most people find to be the maximum acceptable) and aren't even bright enough to use Hellfire mechs on Bunker. It's blatantly clear that some of them don't even know the basics of Hawken combat.

This isn't a case of the Scout being OP or you being skilled, it's just a really bad team you faced.

Scout pretty much always has been, and probably always will be the perfect mech for this game. Its not overpowered, its not the end all be all, it just suits the game mechanics the best. Oh, and I refuse to play it, I think it sucks (I hate playing a-classes in general). :D

Nice game by the way!

Scout is great if you get into a match with people who have pings above 100 and you're sub 60. No matter how hard they try they wont hit you. I even got to see a video of a friend blasting me in the scout. He was getting hitmarkers while I never took damage. Fun times, fun times indeed.

I got this game less than 5 days ago, have primarily played scout, and most games I'm running a KDR of about 20. I have pretty much exclusively played Seige mode at this point.

Its not that the scout is OP, its that it's role is perfectly suited to getting the kills. Sadly less mobile classes that effectively pin down their opponents wont get any kills unless the enemy runs into missiles for fun. Killing is the scouts job, so scouts get all the points/kills.

I'm well aware of the fact many of my scout kills come from flanking pre-engaged targets, and I actively thank every single one of my teammates for not being big girls blouses about it.

It is funny and yet exasperating repeatedly sneaking up on a rocketeer who bolts himself to the floor with no radar for the nth time in a game and getting called 'killstealing noob'. Haha. To an outsider or a newbie the game seems like a clusterfuck but it's really very teamwork/ class based in terms of strategy.

Because of this, KDR/ point for kills should be massively downplayed in the objective based game modes. I dont get this game, I literally JUST got it and it's so rare I meet a teammate who seems to be aware that Seige is Seige, not TDM. Whats that all about? I'm just rambling now, bb

Off-topic, just wondering what the "SCORE/MIN" means.

At the end of the game when you have let's say 500ish, 1000ish, or 2000ish score on the scoreboard? Break that down to how much score you make a min.

IE: If my score per minute is 200ish then on average in a 10 minute game I should have about 2000 points.

It's just an average of your score per minute while piloting that mech.  Fix't - Why must you have 12 accounts and confuse me?! :) jk

Edit - beat by a second with an even better explanation! Shazbot!

That is actually global, not mech specific. Except it is in my case because I have one mech per account. Hope that wasn't confusing. lol.
