A second way to hide would be to much of advantage. Imho its better you give him a good rifle and still can see where he's camping.

btw: Its camouflage, like this band of the 80's...

One reason why the rifle is not so powerful is it tends not to give a noticible muzzel flash (at least to me). You could argue that the rifle may have a flash suppresion system on it which may alter the potential kinetic energy the round has.

Similar to the silencer on the pistol - remove this for better damage?

In thought is the middle weapon of the covert ops (the one with the bad scope) the weapon that does the most long range damage? If so the covert ops have a weapon of range that does more damage - its this. Just you need to have very good skill to use one at range.

No, don't change the damage for this weapon, IMO the sniper rifle is reasonbly adjusted for the benifits of range . accuracy . visibility . capacity of clip. If one was considered then it would have to suck in another way - how about making them single shot bolt rifles? 1 ammo per 'clip'. Possibly case more damage but with less rate of fire per clip.

All the weapons are in balance with others. By increasing one you will have to increase them all. I'll have that 100 m flamethrower then!

NO.

er, or even, how about removing the cov op class completely? other than for having fun on publics, its fucking useless, weapons are severely weakened and people that camp and snipe are generally a bunch of sad wannabes that never actually do anything to help their team rush objectives.

the one thing i hate most is being on a pub in a team where 2-3 cov ops are running around in enemy uniforms and confusing the fuck out of their own team mates. and when you shoot them they start spamming 'HOLD YOPUR FIRE' and 'I AM A COVERT OP'. are you? well piss off then. if there is no need for one, i.e. fueldump oasis and battery, i couldnt care less if i shot one, they waste server space

The only way I think camouflage would work is if coverts were hidden from view the same way landmines currently are. That way, when a covert is hidden, an enemy covert with binoculars could say "Sniper spotted, check your command map."

And also, i think you would have to have a full power bar and stay absolutely still in prone position (with sniper zoomed or no weapon at all) for like 5-10 seconds before your camo effect kicks in. That's because a covert shouldn't be able to just run away from the heat of battle, duck behind a corner, and then immediately turn invisible a second later.

Coverts suck... I know. But just as how engineers were much improved in ET from RTCW, it would be cool if something could be done to improve coverts without totally changing ET gameplay.
