I can't find it. I haven't play faction for months now. Was it canceled completely?

A lot of people whined (i did to) that we rather play QP then scouting without the choice of invasion parallel to it
and they took it off completely.

I miss scouting
the 4v4 format highlighted individual skills and lance cohesion, Its a shame
Can we have a 4 v 4 queue maybe?

If you're going to bring back scouting it needs to be as a parallel queue, it was horrible when there was whole conflict phases of only scouting.

Scouting should have its own queue back (just not in the standard FP rotation).

Else they should pay back the spent MCs for the bought scouting dropdecks. I don t need them anymore.

You and maybe like ten other people.

It really bothered me that there was nothing more to the mode than crabbing the tankiest mech you could and mindlessly run into the enemy. And when people did think outside of the box and did things like kite people on larger maps, people raged.
Scouting would have been much better if it had been restricted to light mechs only so we'd have a place for fast pace knife fights instead of the moronic low level brawl that you can already do in quick play.

The mode brought nothing worth while to the game.

Scouting was fun in short doses from time to time. Please bring it back as a separate queue.

Scouting was the only mode left that had any semblance of what CW was meant to be, Invasion is just QP with respawns.

Scouting was terrible unless it was a 4v4 brawl.

Should add a faction play element to quick play where mercenary companies engage with each other to determine scouting rewards for a faction. Which faction they represent would be determined randomly or through voting on the map selection screen.

I wonder if I could get a refund on the additional Scouting Decks that I purchased before Scouting was nixed?

This will have to happen otherwise riots will occur.

if they are getting rid of a smaller mode in favor of larger modes they should at least have a 32v32 mode

Scouting as the 4v4 medium brawl mode was my favourite.

Unfortunately, after a few years, people learned to play the objective, and the mode was broken.
