SPECACT

SPECACT is a downloadable content released on the Xbox 360 on April 21 2010. It has been released for the Playstation 3 in Europe on May 12th 2010 and May 18th 2010 for North America. It will eventually be released for PC. It costs 480 MS points/$5.49/£3.99/€4.99 for the bundle, or 160 MS points/$1.99/£1.19/€1.49 for each individual kit. It consists of 4 kits, one for each class. The kits feature special operatives uniforms (associated with the player's current faction) and a weapon customized with either Desert, Woodland or Arctic camouflage, except for the M95 which comes with a black matte finish. The American SPECACT uniform has a general black and tan color while the Russian SPECACT uniform has a general olive drab color, much like some Russians in the Singleplayer campaign.

Tactics

 * It's generally a good idea to check which side you are on, and what the map's terrain is like before spawning. For example, it is not adivsed to wear the US SPECACT kits on snowy maps. Also, the RU kits can be beneficial in woodland environments, i.e. a medic can wear a green beret instead of a red one for better camouflage.

Trivia

 * A player that has bought a SPECACT kit will sometimes spawn wearing the SA uniform, but with a non-SA gun.
 * Many experienced players look down upon the SA kits, as they believe that the weapons should be earned, not bought.
 * The SA kits are quite common among low-ranked players, as they use the kits to gain boosts while they are unlocking the guns in each class
 * On the above picture, the RU Medic has the default red beret, when he should have a green one.
