Limiting scouts on NEO?

Apparently there isn't a scout class limit on NEO, but I think there should be. With their ability to teleport and be invulnderable to SGs/MGs, it's possible for a team to just have about 6 scouts waltzing right past any defenses... it makes the game pretty pointless when a couple soldiers and an HW or two can't kill the waves of scouts fast enough. To me, a game with team scores of 50-40 is a lot better than 290-180.

haha u've got to be kidding me, lol no offense, but i find that very funny, scouts are prob one of the "weakest" classes in the game, wit neo, it gives all classes advantages, and scout, haha u gotta be kidding me, pyro has the biggest advantage, wit jump and freeze, engie's have super mg's, spies wit airstrikes, come on....

yes some scouts pwn (hehe i can name a few), but hey, learn to play wit them, it'll get ya better, and they're not that hard to kill, 2 shots wit a rocket, or just one good nade will kill em, so plz don't complain when it's not a big deal, good scouts deserve to pwn, that is one of the hardest classes to master, with ur Hand Held concs and bhoppin (which i can't do at all), so give em some respect

not invulnerdabe or however you typed, jsut invisible, they coudl still be hurt by them... if they coulod see them. see neo... well it done'st necessarily give the game a blance, but instead gives every class an advantage. fight cheap with cheap heck, 2 demos can carpet bomb and are fast enoguh to keep them out i tihnk. but then again i'm biased because i enjoy scout on neo, don't liek it, don't play it eh?

It's not easy being a scout...especially when a pyro is more powerful and faster in NEO

I agree, scouts are overpowered in the new neo, but so are other classes. Maybe a scout limit of 4, or 5? BTW-Is there a pyro limit because their freezethrower is the cheapest weapon in the game...

and, if the other team has alot of scouts it means they have a poor defense, just beat the scouts to your second command point before they can fly past.

If one class is able to be unlimited, all classes should be unlimited. We have limits on classes becasue too many are just too many, all classes should be either limited to the same number, or have no limits at all.

Well, for some classes, there just have to be limits... 10 engies defending would just be impossible to get past.

I've seen some exploits of the current NEO that seem awfully cheap to me, and there really isn't much you can do to stop it, without secondary grenades (EMPs) or happen to have been a demo at the time... the biggest one I noticed was on dustbowl... I'm not going to say what it is, because I hope it doesn't happen very often. But, that said, it was basically impossible to defend against.

Anyway, I wasn't saying that scouts should be outlawed, but maybe limit them to 2 or 3 like most other classes... 2 or 3 of every class should make even 12 vs. 12 games pretty fun, and balanced

I think the someone who created the Neo mod gave the medic class the short end in this deal. An anti grenade shield is just not that glamorous. Maybe this is payback.
