Whats up with all the recons?

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

special forces kit in bf2 were invisible to uav? wow, wouldn't that be neat. From what I last know, everything is revealed under the uav or radar scan. All it takes is one commander who is paying attention and a right-click-spotted and the jig is up.

I never liked the decoy much because you are forced to either stay in one area to make full use of it, or that you are only given one to use, or that it takes up one of two of your precious equipment slots. Cool as it might be to have active camo and the decoy, you've lost alot of your sting when it comes to causing trouble to the enemy.

edit: thinking about it makes me wish that they would allow you to carry multiple decoys in 1.5 To fool enemies into thinking that there is 3 or more of yous around would really make enemies paranoid of the red dots.

I find the ghost to unreliable, it doesn`t always work as it should.
Sometimes you pop up on the radar or the commander "accidentally" spots you and not the decoy, which shouldn`t happen

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

you are spotable but not with any radar devices.

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

they have the ghost that makes them invisseble for any type of radar.

For 50 meters.

For 50 meters.

I have heard the sniper decoy covers you for a 60 meter radius.

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

but if an enemy sees you and puts their crosshair on you so the red netbat diamond appears, does the decoy stops that?

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

it is not on the description and i never used it so i don't know that. but you can spot enemies who have a ghost.

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

Ghosts only fools radar systems (scan, UAV, and support scanner) for 60 meters. Netbat and spotting is unaffected.

Re: Whats up with all the recons?

I've noticed a ton of servers have FF off for some reason that I'll never understand.

Unfortunately, this means the recon player can throw RDX at the ground and use it to fly onto buildings (seems to be useful in Gibraltar) as well as run through a crowd while bunnyhopping and detonating to parachute to the ground unscathed.

Your own weapons should kill you regardless of what the server's FF setting is, but that's DICE's fault. Still, I wish there were more city maps servers with FF on because this "tactic" is lame.

I like recon and im one of those people who know when to put the Zeller down and pick up a Scar or Krylov. i dont do the RDX though. Most of the servers im on dont have a lot of recon.

I always play recon or engineer, the recon kit is a good kit and it just gets a lot of play.:salute:
