Or the scouts will be the wily ones, going passive and all that, striking from shadows and all the good stuff.

Brings up interesting point. Does going passive really have an effect on enemies picking you up on radar? And what radar skills/mods do light mechs start off with? It will be fun to see.

At least in a scout mech you can rotate 270* and shoot while on the run. Heck I even had two large lasers on my cougars, ullers, so it wasn't like I wasn't doing any damage.

I haven't heard anything about it yet from [REDACTED] or official sources so I don't believe it's implemented yet.

But I certainly hope it's planned to be in before release.

I know it doesnt really compare, but I beat the solaris grand championship on MW4 in a stock Raven and made 4 kills (mind you I picked off the weakened targets xD) but even then, scouts are still viable, and even deadly used right. I plan on attacking the weapons/legs instead of going for the killshots. Besides, did you see how fast captain sparrow ran? thats what its all about ;)

I believe in the judicious use of running, especially away.

This is more like it. Scout is the light mech and Heavy is the Heavy mech. Hahahah. I think this is more or less how the game iwll play out.

I'm guessing they will be pretty excited to play, along with the rest of us. That said, I do plan on eating light mechs as a yummy appetizer before the main course.

Pretty sure going passive won't exist.
As I understand it all radar works on line of sight basis, with team mates sharing information.
(narc beacons might be an exception)
