Hard-------for my experience as an operative/light , easily get killed face to face, their abilities are not very useful comparing to other classes, and not much mission for operative. Maybe a new weapon will make things a little bit different. Engineer/Medic can buff teammates, so a bow or crossbow with poisoned arrows will do a debuffer to decrease maximum health of the target, or do some damage in 10 seconds, or clear all buffer of the target, or even slow down the target. We can choose different type of ammo/arrows in weapon customization screen at a command post. Bows and crossbows are both silent so that's perfect for operatives.
Please post your ideas, maybe we can make this game greater and please forgive my poor English.
I love this game anyway.
