Easily getting detected while stealthed

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:25 am

The best way to decloak a enemy is shoot where you saw him without zooming in (provides a nice distribution). Works always on people who are sprinting in while cloaking.

For me i'm using the mobility enhance and the level 3 stealth enhance, provides a great length of sprinting in stealth (Around 20 seconds without recharging your energy). In combination with energy transfer you're able to cloak almost all the time and sprint while in you're hiding in the shadows :P

I always use Visor Enhance with my custom sniper class, and it gives all of the enemies a red glow when zooming in, aiming down sights or using binoculars, even with invisibility (although it doesn't work while I'm invisible). Its effects are not visible in the killcam, so always take a look which perks does the enemy have in the killcam.

I get called out for killing stealthed enemies from a great distance, but all I do is go into Visor and tag at random. It picks up cloaked enemies as well, works like a charm

Cloaked enemies are rather easy to spot without nanovision and there is the pretty awesome tagging through the visor as well.

But if someone gives me a headshot at the Lighthouse while I am cloaked and him being at the other side of the map where he can't see anything through all the trees and buildings then it is a bit dubious. Had that twice last week.

Is it just me or is nanovision pretty much useless against cloaked enemies, it has massive amounts of film grain, the cloaked players are just barely lighter blue than the rest of the scene, all the heat signatures get smeared when I move the view and when I shoot then half the screen is filled with muzzle flash, nanovision actually makes it more difficult to spot cloaked players o.O

How to tag with the visor

Open it and press the f key frantically, though sometimes cloaked players show up eve if I don't press the f key and sometimes nothing happens when I have the crosshair on a player and I press the key and nothing is obstructing the view, I think it's a little buggy sometimes.

Though, I am not convinced that the killcam is always accurate and sometimes, for me atleast, I am like "Why the hell did he die, I wasn't even shooting him any more cuz I ran out of bullets after I emptied a clip into him" and other times it's like "Why the hell didn't he die after I emptied a clip into him" xD

You don't need to push f. Just put your binocular "crosshair" over the enemy.

Visor enhance is a really good "cloak-spotting" perk. Used in combination with tagging, you can own people.

About nanovision: It was WAY too powerful in the demo, so I guess they nerfed it too much. Too bad.

I'm pretty sure there are some 'intelligent' hackers around, they kept knowing where I popped up from despite being cloaked. From killcams, you can sometimes see their target sights following your movement through objects or buildings just ready to pop a few rounds before you appear.

I use Visor Enhance too, seriously makes spotting easier. One thing though, do you guys notice that laggy players seem to perform better? I kept shooting at them at close to point blank range but they just won't die...
