when i first bought the game, i had high hopes for the cloak and armor. but they svck. cloak has no advantage at all. its just a more engenius way to get killed. i must have had more kills from who are cloaked than not. its too easy to see someone trying to sneek up on you and stealth kill you.
the armor provides nothing. as soon as bullets hit it, it knocks your energy down by a third. that means you have 3 bullets till your energy is gone. once your energy is down, it only takes one bullet to kill you. there is no use for that. without armor it takes almost half a clip to kill someone. i have made more kill with people using armor than not using it. the idea of the cloak and the armor are a good idea, its a good concept. it just needs to be improved upon.

Uhm... Cloak and armor are the only reasons why I get kills and live.. Cloaked units farther away are harder to see for one thing. And in most of my games I've pretty much ran straight up(with cloak on) to a guy and he doesnt even see me. In other situations, I'm sitting cloaked by an entrance and people just run by me ( freekills yay ). Armor helps a crapload too. I've pretty much 1v3'd people because I tanked their shots(and aimed for the head ofc...) Armor is also very helpful against grenades. Without armor you'd just get blown to bits.

Haha fail. Let's meet up in a multi game and I'll show you what cloak will do. Just cuz you are playing with 90% of n00bs doesn't mean cloak is trash. Everyone who is anyone or wants to have a 2.0 kdr+ will run cloak.

Its funny you mention this, as lots of other people argue the suit is OVERPOWERED. Really shows the level of subjectivity when it comes to game mechanics right?

Fun Fact Kids!: This is why (generally) complaining a game mechanic is one way or another bad/too good, normally warrants absolutely nothing. There's no perfect balance in the eyes of the subjective public.

Im not sure sure how long the OP has had the game, but it really comes down to the usage of the suit, which determines its effectiveness. Everyone has their own style, which may or may not compliment certain suit elements...
