I got all the unlocks for recon and have played it for almost 28 hrs already. here is my take on it.


the good:
1) the explosives here are really powerful, APM and C7 RDX demo packs
2) interchangable for long range kills and short range kills.
3) the IT-33 cameo.... really awsome if you know how to do it.
4) mass kills 5,10,20 kills in a row easily than most classes.

the bad:
1) lambert carbine... i love the rate of fire but the accuracy is horrible. you cant snipe with it unlike the BF2 version of the G36c. everyone knows the G36c can be uses as a sniper rifle hence g36c.
2) blowing up vehicles seems a bit harder for two reasons 1) if its that hovering tank, it can move unexpectedly at high speeds, thus missing your chance to blow it up with c7. 2) putting c7 in a walker where the width of the legs are smaller than the sides of a regular tank. makes it hard to c7 it.
3) it-33.. there are instances where i got killed by a sniper or even an assault dude from long distances when i use active cameo. i know support got all that anti cloaking gadgets to find me.

"Cameo"? Is that like a surprise celebrity appearing next to you when you turn it on?? lol. Anyway -  agree Recon is by far the best and most well rounded kit. Although it lacks any teamwork based role (ie resupply / heal / repair)

it's meant to be a close range assault weapon.

You obviously play all your single player games on easy with cheats on. The idea is that it ISN'T easy to go and blow up the eneny,.

you find fault in everything! it's 90% if they said it was 100% i could understand but it is 90%. with good graphics you can EASILY spot a cloaked person.

APM takes no skill because you just throw and run. I'm not saying I don't use them because I do whenever I use recon....just saying though...

Blowing up vehicles with Recon is now easier due to that you can cloak yourself and easily hide from the tank. Plus PAC tank is about THE slowest vehicle in the game. A EU tank is faster than that one. So you won't have big problem to put out those C7 on it.

Well about walkers. Most of the time when I'm the second gunner and my main pilot don't notice those Recon that sneak up from behind and put out C7 on the walker they almost always succeed in doing it.
Beside those legs just ain't THAT small.

Recon can work on long to short distance depending on the kit he use. Lambert is actually accurate at single shot mode and prove to be pretty usefull then.

The camo thing can be spotted normally and I have killed people in camo while they where running with sniper. So it's not like they are invisible.
