Thats because everyone likes the idea of a recon, being a lone wolf killing machine, but cant actually play for nout! lol.
Myself, i often get +250 marksmen points from across the map due to aim, judgement and patience.
Yup. Everyone is the next Bob Lee Swagger. Friend of mine plays to do nothing more than try and sneak around the back of the back of the advancing enemy and take pot shots at them. Will often go a whole round contributing as close to nothing as possible with a few kills of no-one but their useless wookies.
The best thing Recon can do is just that, recon (The name of the class seems lost on most). Have the spotting scope equipped and scan the battlefield lighting everything up for us real men to go and kill
Nice tip, I'll be using it when I start playing as a sniper.
Q-spot everything
Learn to use the iron sights/default scope on just about all the weapons, only use reddot if you have to. The x4 is is horrible for the assault rifles, destroys you vision and gives no benefit. I can assault 'snipe' easier with the iron sights.

Out of the 200+ hours I've played I've managed just 1 1/2 hours as recon, maybe it's just me but it's just damn boring.
How people can just sit there at the other end of the map on your own is beyond me, much prefer being involved at the sharp end playing assault or engineer.

Is it possible to have a sniper rifle and the shotgun or do I need to have the handgun? I can't seem to customise my weapons. Everyclass has the shotgun available for the primary weapon though. Is the handgun always going to be my secondary weapon.
The only weapons I have are all the default starting guns. The RPG and the shotgun. I can't go recon and have the sniper and the shotgun though which is a bit poor.
Any tips on this?

which is completely useless to your team.
if you're 250 points away your senserballs aren't doing anything and it's very unlikely you can see the mcom.
The best thing Recon can do is just that, recon (The name of the class seems lost on most). Have the spotting scope equipped and scan the battlefield lighting everything up for us real men to go and kill
Recons should be in front of the main infantry, killing the engies, medics and tanks, and making sure you grunts don't have to worry about anything other than spamming full auto or firing your 40mm
one main gun a rifle/shotgun etc one side arm a pistol.
Basic rules:
always press Q when ever you see anything even if you know you cant kill it aka a tank/hele some who can will know its there and kill it instant 20 points for spot assist
always join a squad as soon as your in the match and prefrable pick the suqad with the most highest rank players as these will more than likley help you more and will give you more spawn places as you can spawn on your squad
with all this battlefield team work is paromount so working as a squad is even more important as you'll an extra 10 point on squad assist's,heal's,resupplys
alway thing what is best for your team as if you team is winning you will find it a lot easier to rack up points
dont just grab the last vehicle and drive off from your base as they probably will help you or save your life
if your main gun runs empty dont use knife as the knife is slow always switch 2 pistol this is important if you some from cod games
there are many anti-armour tripod wepons about the map so if you see armour risk/ waste your life to get a hit on it as it might be the killing shot so 100 points for vehicle destruction plus 50 point per pearson in said vehicel
Assault:
If the enemy are dug into a building deploy your ammo pack and spam nades at every extermal wall as the internal walls do not destroy but iff all the extrenal wall are gone the building will colapse and any one ins side will die and you will get a kill by Destruction 2.0
if your team are pushing up and there are 2+ behind cover aka a wall or rock you'll get 10 point per resupply per serson so say if some one is nearly spent on ammo you'll get a amaximum of 80 point if they stay by your ammo pack per person and as there alway shooting the will forever be resupplying and if there its a good choke point and every one stops there you'll rack up mega points
with the assault always busrt fire with short but fast busrts as it will kill then faster as the rounds will not spray and go off traget and increase your accuracy and there for the damge you do
as an assault you'll always see a bar above your teams head this show there ammo status so if its low resupply them
Engineer:
this has the lowest power weapon as a silencer so use stealth to your advantage
rockets are not just for tanks if there are enemys gunning out off a window blow the wall up it has a high chance off killing them and if not finish them off by shooting or hand grenade or some one else may get a shot on them at minimum you'll get a kill assist or maybe a multi kill with grenade
if your team has a tank or high powered amour just walk behing out off fire using it as cover break out your impact wrech and let it the tank take the damage as you rack up the points if the enemy team is full off noobs that tank will last all game and when its at high health always get in as and kills the the driver gets you also get passenger assist or even use the secondary gun
dont waste rockts as these give away your position a lot
never spawn on a recon or stand by them and launch a rocket as this will spoile there advantage over the enemy and more than likely get you and him killed
Medic:
same at with assualt if your team are held up behind cover lay down health packs as you get 20 points per heal and a maximum of 60 per player
with lmgs use long burst fire as when as after the first 3-5 rounds the gun wont lift anymore and is more accurate under supresing fire
lmgs are have good accuracy and can pick off at range with quick 1 shot bursts
if your team is losing then break the difibs out and be a hero and revive as many as you can as you can stay in cover and revive people multiple times
Recon
1st and formost learn the sniper machanics distance and the directinal speed off the target all play apart adds a lot of skill
sniper rifles in normal mode are not one shot kill so if some one is in a bush spot them 1st as when you hit them once they will go into the bush and the spot will keep a red triangle above them making them a easy kill
2x c4 will blow up the tuffiest of armour even if this means suicide as it worth 100 points for vehicle destruction plus 50 point per pearson in said vehicel and the relife it gives to your team
never run into a building with your rifle unless you are very skilled pistol is there for a reason (close quarters)
when taking up a possition throw motion balls allround where you want to set up as this will show if and one is gonna creep up on you as these balls which are thrown like grenades will auto spot people and like alwasy 20 poinst for a spot
so theres my tips for bfbc2 sorry if its a bit long winded poorly spelt and none exsistant grammer as iam pretty drunk and very tierd i hope this helps

If you want a more 'realistic' (word used in the loosest sense) experience, start playing hardcore more.
Spotting remains, but all you do is call out to your team - none of this silly glowing triangle markers appearing everywhere.
Bullet damage is increased - nearly every weapon will drop you with a couple of well placed rounds. Snipers rifles will kill with one shot. It doesn't take half a magazine to kill someone, which leads to less of the mash-trigger-then-reload gameplay cycles of other shooters.
The HUD is also reduced, giving a much cleaner feel. No minimap. No ammo indicator. No crosshairs. I think it's a much nicer playing experience myself.
I should add, I actually have this game on console, so Im aware the PC experience will be different. The only problem, for instance, is that hardcore mode seems to breed recon players, which I hate. Not only is it annoying to play against a team of wookies hiding in the bushes racking up their kills and shooting you 0.05 seconds after you spawn, but nothing is more irritating to be trying to cap points or destroy MCOMs while half your team is sitting 15 miles back in the deployment area, or spending their time jumping around at random rocks and trees trying to find vantage points. I imagine this is less of a problem with the PC as servers can apply class limts etc?

Which is why most recon players are useless.
Depends where you are and the game type.
When im, personally, contributing 10-20 kills around with almost no deaths, spotting even more and communicating positions verbally as well, i find that my team mates appreciate the fact that i can snipe, can spot enemies and can contribute in the same way as the other classes as a recon/sniper.
The problem is that the majority of people playing recon play, play it wrong.
Some good tips for n00bs there.
I've found that when working as a team/squad, that 'protecting' team mates, MCOMS, etc; from afar works as an excellent deterant if the enemy knows that something's being covered by sniper fire, as it forces them to look for the sniper, rather than the objective in more cases that not (and because i move around to different positions, also effectivly makes them a man down).
In combination with one sensor ball near to where i am, or a choke point, also gives me early warning if they do get near.
Although as you mention for engineers, and i personally think this applys to all classes. Do not, under any circumstances, spawn on a sniper!!!!
The amount of times where my deaths have been caused by one dopy person spawning on me, giving away my position winds me up no end!
10-20 kills is useless though, it contributes absolutely nothing, especially at 250+ point range.
Especially if you're an attacker.
it doesn't take half a mag in normal either, snipers are also 1 hit kills.
HC is just for campers who can't aim and need a boost to help them out.
And it just turns into sit and hide and spam full auto as much as you can in hc because you just have to clip them with your badly aimed spam.
Wow, bile.
Whereas non-HC is just for players who need a glowing marker on the screen to let them know where the enemy is hiding when they couldnt kill them the first time?
See, I can do it too!

nah i reserve bile for defrag and his usas
To be fair i even left out the fact it's taking you half a mag to kill someone on a console where you have auto aim assist.

I don't have aim assist enabled.
And it may not take you "half a mag". but it takes an appreciable amount of bullets compared to HC mode, and Ive never been a fan of games like that. For the record, I dont spam as much as I can to make up for poor aim either. In fact, in makes me use ammunition better, I tend to use shot bursts and single shots safe in the knowledge that it will be enough to take someone down.
