My fav. class is the recon class!

1. Camo is very usefull for capturing flags alone (I had 1 scene were an enemy runs 3 times around me and didnt see me)
2. Camo and C4 are perfect for hit and run attacks on Tanks, walkers etc.
3. Not only Sniper, the Lambert Carbine is good enough for dogfights.

but i think taht recon will be like 50-70% of players when game releases
Unlikely seeing as how none of them will have camo and you don't have to play as recon to get the recon unlocks.

Listen to me people, and listen well:

C7 (c4)+ Active Camo + Lambert Carbine = unstoppable. Since I tried the combination, I have been getting top 3 every single round.

Use the camo to sneak up on people (to knife) and vehicles.. ESPECIALLY vehicles.. - lob a couple of C7's on them without them even knowing a thing about it.. and them BAM!, herpes
Pick off everyone else with the carbine.

Just got a round score of 67 (which is hard to get on 2142) and a SPM of 3. something with that strategy

Haha, I used the camo for the first time today (picked up someone's kit) and OMG, it's soooo funny to play with! I was on the Titan, a guy fired at me, so I ran around a corner, turned it on, and ran back. He ran past me and around the corner and then I knifed him in the back. XD

When retail comes out, I'll definetly get camo/C7. On the other hand though, I got the engineer AT sniper rifle today and it totally kicks ass too...

best not to mention things like this unless you want them to nerf your new game before it comes out.

Sure...there may be times that alot of ppl go nuts with the camo, makin fighting a bit difficult, but it is no different that rollin in a tank, and all of a sudden...everyone decides to spawn as AT just cuz they have rockets to take you out. 

You just have to adapt...I personally don't see a problem with the camo...even if everyone goes crazy with it.

I'm a medic whore in BF2 and therefore like the assault class in 2142 a lot: Firepower + healing + reviving = power- and helpful. I played around with the spec ops unlock tree for the recon class and had some fun with camo+knifing, but I doubt that'll be my main focus. I completely agree with the drawbacks of the recon/camoflage thing mentioned by ThomasMorgan earlier in this thread: you can not reaload, pull out or use any weapon when camoflaged and when moving around or being very close to an enemy, you are indeed visible, at least sort of distortion in the air is.
Beyond that, either support or engineer class has an unlock that helps against the camoflage.
