@jirikutilWe know so little about the EMG Scanner ability and yet you want it removed already? No one has even used it in-game yet!
Yes, becouse its not good in fps games to see trough the walls.

what if they make a near future modern military game that imagines cutting warfare technology 20 years from now?
- 4 years ago@jirikutil @carsono311 I'm with Carsono on this, we don't know how it will fit the overall balance of matches yet. While it may seem like an overpowered ability, I also recall players in past game complaining about soft cover campers and bush wookies, which this gadget and Paik's passive ability both directly counter. I also don't think entire servers of Paiks will be an issue, as many of the Specialists have unique and quite powerful traits. It may very well prove to be overpowered but I'll hold judgement till I've played the game myself.
Side Note: It's not a wall "hack" if it's a built-in feature of the game available to all players. What makes hacking and cheating in general so horrible is that it puts honest gamers at a disadvantage. By adding this feature into the game in some capacity, developers are actually evening the playing field in a way, and no, this does not excuse the developers from taking strong anti-cheat measures.- kregora4 years agoSeasoned Ace@DJPtrak The disadvantage players are put in now, that is to decide what is possible, and what is cheating.
But we need to experience this ability in-game. In BF4 T-UGS atleast beeped while active.- NachYoSergeant4 years agoNew Adventurer
I’m concerned about this specialist. I can totally see that class getting abused. I despised heart beat sensors in MW and target finders on Blk Ops.
I hope I’m wrong and it will be balanced out but I can see it being a cheap way of playing.
- 4 years ago@DJPtrak I wonder if there's an counter against Paiks' EMG Scanner ability. I do remembered bush wookies from Bad Company 2 days. They're annoying, but players found an way to counter them. I do have concerns about BF2042 in terms of specialist (look at Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 & 4 for examples).

To me, seeing through walls is the same as having a radar / UAV on a FPS. Same advantage IMO. Im sure there is limitations.

You talking about what?

Not really. UAV/Radar does not show you the exact location, you have to search for the target with your aim even when you can see it on the map.
Here it is basically a wall hack. You have the aim to the head before revealing yourself. A big difference!- 4 years ago@TheFireOfTitan oh, im not saying its the same thing for most people, but for me its the same. UAV on COD is like god mode for me.
UAV still shows the exact location if you understand and have map knowledge, you just cant see which way they are facing.
There will be limitations to this thing and ways to counter it i presume.
