1) Short range weaponry (Lambert)
2) Long range weaponry (Sniper rifles)
3) Cloaking
4) Anti-infantry explosives
5) Anti-vehicle explosives
6) Zoom on weapons, thus pinpoint accuracy.
7) PAC outfit > Completely black.
8) Net Bat Fade Delay > Longer target on screen.
9) As squad leader you can keep a safe distance due to your long-range rifle.
10) Recon + Titan is keeping out the bad guys on your own titan, and on theirs.
11) Stabilizer for extreme long range shots (It works!)
12) Identifying targets that are killed by your squad members gives you extra points (Sniper rifle only).
13) The Zeller-H can blow up enemy explosives.
14) Sniper-Rifles are instant accuracy over a target, no deviation unlike the Support class.
15) Snipers draw knifes faster to battle each other.

Whether or not you agree. I love recon.

Recon is the most versatile class...they are prepared for virtually any combat situation, simply stated. Anti-infantry, anti-vehicle, point defense...Bernadictus hit the nail on the head.

Agreed but keep it quiet. As soon as EA finds out, the whole recon class will be nerfed.

^^^ yup yup, most importantly though, its the most fun, I had a clan of 5 on the other day and to be fair they owned the entire server, I ran in with my rdx and blew the mofos up and it was SOOOOOOOOO much more satisfying than shooting them with a voss or even knifing them... RDX FOR TEH WIN (still a support whore at heart though )

Accuracy is a useless statistic.

Accuracy is overrated except in the case of sniper rifles. KDR trumps accuracy, even if 4 out of 5 of your shots hit a tree (which mine apparently do).

Every kit have it ups and down. The only bad thing about sniper is that they don't have a way to refill ammo or health.

I still like all the classes for their own reasons. Check my stats out and you will see i'm an all-around player.

Recon was the first gold badge I got (in terms of classes) but after 50 hrs I was burned out

All those support lovers can only muster 10 at most points as to why their kit is better.... this guy stated 11 for recon, hence until someone comes up with 12 GOOD reasons for support - Recon ftw

I kinda agree with both tho, Recon+Support > Assault+Engineer

Lambert is going to be more popular than Voss, though it sucks...

It's like G36E for me, POS.

WTF is up with spotting a recon it says: "ENEMY SNIPER SPOTTED!!!11!1!11" then you go there thinking: "Ok, no problem." and get shot in the face with lambert... I refuse to use lambert because of this.

Recon is like a jack of all trades, master of none. If you're willing to go 5-15 every round trying to C4 vehicles, by all means do it. And the Zeller/Park/Morretti is not a sniper rifle, the Shuko/Bianchi is. I can't possibly count the number of times I've gone to some sniper's camping spot and killed all of his targets at range before he can even line up a shot on them....Being "stealthy" and "tactical" with recon may seem enticing, but in reality the kit is only mediocre at killing.

The support weapons are long range, but not a sniper rifle. The support weapon is good upto around 150m while the sniper rifles are accurate to around 600m. The killing abilities of a kit are totaly dependant of the skills of user, it's just that the Support kit is easier to whore points with while the Recon kit is for the people who like to be stealthy or use explosives or snipe people or all of the mentioned.

Support is the best class. See stats.

I guess if one found a niche play pattern and stuck to it, your stats would look good. For example if you stayed in the titan on the guns, your kdr would go through the roof.

You are a good support player, but it appears you have a common play routine that you stick to ... doesn't this bore you somewhat?

They could .. but to a good squad with assault keeping proper spacing ... APMs are nothing more than an inconvenience.

What´s up with these huge distances? i have heard em from some other directions and i don´t see how you can even see 600m hell everything past 300m is just a fog for me at least, and i run everything on high..
