Is cloak easy to spot in close range?

Post » Tue Mar 12, 2013 11:41 pm

Need help with this.
I am finding it really hard to spot cloaked enemies in close range.
If its just me, I could use some tips. And most of the maps being kinda reddish makes it even harder. Nano vision isn't helping much. Almost everything is glowing blue which means they all have heat signature? :|

Take a look at these two pics.. I mean, can you really spot them with all the faced paced action?

Its fairly easy to spot them in medium range.. And they glow when they throw a nade. Which is a good thing. But close range is just unacceptable.
Just my two cents.

Can't say I can. When the Beta came, I was able to, but as I played more and more, I got used to the distortion to the point where the enemies are completely invisible..Even when paying full attention, it happened many times that the enemy was 1 meter in front of me, but I didn't see the red tint and got killed.

Which maps are being reddish ?
And most of the time they are easy to spot.

Well, I cannot notice the distortion on Hydro Dam, Financial District, Chinatown, Airport(though when the cloakers are in the containers I can) maybe even Museum.

At close range even when they are running and jumping i usually find them easy to spot (but not always shoot). Also, shadow is seeable for claoked guys. I occasionaly even see them running and jumping from very far away.

A shadow, yes. But in closed space, no light, it's not possible for me at least.

Shadow is just another thing, the cloak itself can even, occasionaly, be seen at long distances.

Which makes it pretty inconsistent. You shouldn't be able to see it on long ranges, but not beeing able to see the enemy is in front of you even when running forward.

Seeing at long range but only for a moment and it is kinda rare. I cant see it clearly or easy enough (without sniper scope) to shoot the guy. I just notice someone a little far away is present. As for mid range, i still dont always see them. Close range however is usually easy.
