You are clueless on the matter. (Evidenced by your 0 playtime as recon)

Recon is not locked into a long range static positioned role.

I have played recon as aggressive close quarters just as much as I have long range static. Forward spawn beacons (Yeah, they are not just for your use parachuting to the top of mountains :rolleyes:) T-UGS on MCOMs. Location scouting with MAV prior to moving into an area. SOFLAM laser designation.

As for my top 20, nice strawman argument. The sniper rifles can ONLY be used by Recon, 1 of 4 classes. A lot of the rest have crossover between classes. It makes nothing but logical sense that a player with an even split of playtime across 4 classes will see a slight bias of 1 class only weapons in the top 20.

Great post, another example of how a recon is an overpowered class.

So let me get this straight, since clearly I am clueless on sniper. :p

Recon class, can use long range weapons (sniper guns), yet they can also use SMGs, PDWs or Shotguns, while the other 3 classes cannot use long range weapons, they are not available to them. Seems to be a pretty big advantage with weapon selection....

Recon class can also use a radio beacon, meaning a good hidden radio can spawn a whole squad behind enemy lines, could potentially turn the tide of a game, simply because you can cause havok by having a squad behind enemy lines, enabling them to capture control points etc.

Can you SOFLAM, another nice thing that can be very effective if the team use it right.

T-UGS again can be extremely good advantage to have as a team, especially when defending in rush or conquest.

Which other class has so many advantages, that can potentially change the tide of a battle? None



In fact my class, the support, all the gadgets you get are pretty much useless. Only semi usable thing is the c4, but even that when you use it you have to be right next to the enemy.

Mortar is pretty much useless, far to slow to use and when using, the hit has to be spot on to get 1 shot kill. Almost totally useless with game modes such as conquest.

Claymore again useless, disappears when you die and at most can get two kills. Not very effective.

In fact I would go as far to say Recon Radio is the best gadget in the game by a mile.
 
I suffocated laughing so much at that post I have suffered brain damage and am unable to reply with sufficient intellect...

Wait...diminished intellect is exactly what I need to reply to your post and be on a par with the content presented.

Be right back, smashing myself in the head with a frying pan more to enable myself to suitably reply.

I am glad to know that you're are enjoying yourself. Must be hard having no life beyond a computer screen. 15k posts and counting and 330hours of BF3. :rolleyes:

Dude let me give you a tip. Get out more and explore the world ;)

Oh and you still haven't answered why I got more heals than you even though I hardly play assault.....

Wow seriously there isn't one map on this game that id choose recon any other class! And unfortunately I do know what I'm talkin about!

A sniper on B flag on grand bazaar hahaha he wouldnt even last 1 second without being raped!
 
Gux, your posts have given me cancer. Btw, I love recon, despite it being a tricky class to play properly. Support however is a good class to play when I feel like being a one man army without using any effort or skill.
 
Gux and Sin Chase, seriously guys stop the personal attacks. I just wasted five minutes trawling through a page of your bs.

Gux unfortunately if you don't like getting one shot killed, you're going to have to stop playing hardcore mode. In reality a sniper shot should be a one hit takedown or incapacitate but it's way underpowered in normal mode.
 
Hardcore is a good game mode, but keep in mind that it's harder to stay alive and most maps will be littered with the Recon class sniping each other, and if you can't take that, then join a Normal mode server.

PS: Cut the ******** guys, it's a game after all, something to be enjoyed and not to be taken seriously.

The recons are the most useless class by far, DICE messed them up big time, should have kept the class the way it was in BC 2, recon gets C4

This. I usually rock an SKS on my Recon, preferring to be more in the fray or at least on the periphery rather that sit a mile away. And the amount of times I've been sat in a bush watching a control point only for an enemy tank to roll up right next to me completely unaware of me, has left me really wanting the C4 that Recons had access to in BC2. While a lot of people may say it's not a Recons role to blow things up, in certain situations you can be firmly embedded behind enemy lines, and you should be able to blow up enemy reinforcements imo.

Also lol at the guy moaning about sniper rifles being OHKs. Well, yeah, that's what they're designed to do :rolleyes:
