User blog comment:Zealot Guy/The differences between a GOOD recon and a BAD recon./@comment-1788799-20110415203934

Now, what I am about to say might offend some people and sound absolutely absurd please hear me out. I personally think that they should not have Recon in Battlefield 3. Now I know what you are thinking "what the fuck is wrong with this guy" but here is my reason. I just got back from a round on Bad Company 2 where everyone and I mean EVERYONE was a Recon on the other time. This was on Isla Inocentes so they had a big ridge full of leaves to hide in to snipe us from. And that is all they did. No attempt to take on the objective or take us on like actual Battlefield Players. Just camping in the bushes. This really REALLY pissed me off after the first 9 times I was killed by a shot through the head by a Level 3 Sniper. So, I believe what they should do is replace the Recon with the Special Forces from Battlefield 2. Why? The Special Forces class can do everything the Recon can do. Plant Charges, conduct reconnaissance, call artillery, without the ability to camp like crazy. I think that what they should do is make it so that the Special Forces is armed with carbines and some of the weapons like the G3 and the American M14 Rifle and Chinese Type 88 Marksman Rifle or Dragunov. And I know some snipers are actually good so they should make some of the Sniper Rifles as the very last unlocks. That's just my opinion I want to see what you guys think. And I ask you, please don't hate.
