there are too many unlocks that can detect infantry, commanders uav, pulse meter, and the NS infantry detector. Most games I've played recently I've had the enemy spot and chase me and my normal tactic of doubling back to get behind them is ruined even if I go way off to the side and hide I'm getting rushed by 3 or 4 guys. they're in danger of removing strategic play from the game and turning it into just a face off fire fight

emp them or find some distraction, then kill the uav/detector/enemyExxorcism wrote:

adapt or die is a useless reply, and to the emp them and kill answer, I used to do that but now there are so many people with devices it is getting impossible

Remove UAV and support infantry detector they can leave the pulse meter that one is ok, the game would be allot more fun when people would have to actually think more, use "spot" and the commnader would play a more active role in spotting.
Use the sniper decoy
Welcome to the future, our future

Yeah I agree all the simple detection methods make the game quite retarded. Now its just chasing after red dots on the minimap. You dont even need sound anymore
The game went from "simple" to "OMG SIMPLE"

Hmmm I hadn't thought about this until I read this thread but zeidmaan is 100% correct.
play PRMM then. It has no UAV or infantry detection
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
I disagree, Zeidmaan. It's not just chasing red dots on the minimap. Tactics still have to be used because the detection methods don't have much range at all. Even the commander with the scan and UAV can't cover the whole battlefield. I still spot enemies so they show up on the NetBat for my squad, the same goes for vehicles. Even if you know the enemy is there, you still have to kill them. The enemy will probably flank you if all you do is look at the minimap. I glance at the minimap and keep my eyes on the battlefield.
And you do need sound, or you won't hear me pulling my knife to take your tags.

Good luck remaining undetected when getting even remotely close to someone with the infantry sonar mounted to the Otus...Stingray24 wrote:

I thought you couldn't do that anymore.Sambuccashake wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
Yep you still can (if you manage to actually deploy the Otus without having it killing you) but I believe it will be patched in due time.haffeysucks wrote:

I agree that there is no place to hide from support troops now. The pulse meeter is week and there is no longer a need for it in the game because the infantry sonar does a much better job and informs the troops around you.
A few support players can put up sonar at the key spots on a map and then the other team can't sneek anywhere. Your only chance for capping a flag behind enemy lines becomes a mad dash in fast vehical ( does not work because of the vehical motion mines).
Note to self: Whore the infantry sonar and loller mines.

Ok, I'll just flip my assault rifle to single shot and pick him off from a distance then.Sambuccashake wrote:

It is getting harder and harder to roll around by yourself without getting hatcheted by 3 or 4 guys, but I think that encourages more squad coordination and such. I would argue that it actually makes the game more strategic.
Very true solo-play get less sucess lately, unless you´re in a walker then you embrace all the tight squads moving around in sixpacks.weamo8 wrote:

It is the year 2142. Keep moving, keep alert and keep in range of teammates! Also, if a Support troop Dystek's you, then just lob an EMP Grenade back at them.
Otus + support's infantry radar = wallhack for you and all teammates around you. Wait for aimbot unlock in the next booster. I think its hard to make cheats for 2142...
LoL is so very much totally disagree with that, no offense.weamo8 wrote:

Strategy is not running around with your squad and reviving each other. Most important thing for strategic gameplay is remaining undetected. And that is becoming almost impossible.
Whats even worse is that they gave the stupid infantry detector to support class, OMG THE STUPIDITY in that.
You drop one on the ground, run 10 meters than drop another one, run 10 meters than drop another one, run 10 meters than drop another one etc. How is that not idiotic ?
Not to mention the possibility to put both Vehicle detector and infantry detector on you tank
Sambuccashake gets it

Adapt. You didn't code the game so you don't make the rules. Don't like it, shut the hell up and don't whine about it to us, EA won't change it. They know it works. They know people buy it. They wouldn't change something that is selling very well.
From my experience the only major effect it has had, you get less people just hiding in a corner waiting for you to run past.
It is alittl harder to sneak about but by no means impossible.

LoL I payed for the game which means I have the right to moan all I want. Its say so in the EULA.leetkyle wrote:

Altho I wasn't actually moaning I was just stating the obvious
And "adapt" implies that I'm getting owned and pissed of. Its quite the opposite. I was and still am a really good player. Im just sad ()
