Cloak tracker more harm than good

Post » Fri Dec 10, 2010 1:17 pm

Okay so ive been using cloak tracker for ages and it only just dawned on me that its not very helpful at all. If someones just gone into cloak i feel the green sparkle gets in the way of the cloaked target and by the time you've shot they arnt in that location anymore but slightly further away. Anyone else feel the same?

Yeah thats what i do but if someones sitting in a corner and then they cloak up the bloody sparkles can be disorientating and they usually end up killing me. I find the sparkle itself cloaks the enemy even more lol

i started using the footstep tracker instead because of the same issue. the way i see it they cant stay cloaked forever and eventually will take a few steps out of cloak then giving me a general idea where they are. the bonus to this is i am more aware of my surrounding when i see the footsteps and it also works on people who aren't cloaked. i have been shooting people in the back a lot more since i started using it. much more effective than the cloak tracker for me.

This mod is useless...It's not that hard to pick out cloaked foes. I usually look for cast shadows on surfaces.

Maybe if they'd tone down the visual effects of 'cloak tracker', that might help.

You can usually see them fairly easily with a HD tv or a pc monitor

Don't rely on that for too long. As people level, they're going to lose their shadows.

ehhh its alright but visor enhance actually spots cloaked enemies aswell when you Aim down your sights even at range so its definetely good for snipers because they can see cloaked enemies.

I find Cloak tracker throws my aim of sometimes especially when their sparkle blows off when they are running around.
