Like the blue (lower pic) assault SPECACT. Click to expand...

I don't think they ever looked cool. Real ghillie suits are cool... but the battlefield versions aren't. They look like green blow-dried poodles or some other ridiculous thing. As for camo, it doesn't work. The idea of camo is to break up your outline. But I can spot the dumb shape of a crouched recon in BC2 before I see most other things. The only way a recon can hide is by obscuring their profile behind a rock/object or hiding in the forced bloom on some levels. Just crouching in a bush doesn't cut it... they're quite visible. I'm almost embarrassed for people who do that. Only time a recon really blends is if they position themselves in a weird spot, some creative place you don't think to look. A recon sitting in a tree can be very camouflaged, but it's more their placement than their ghillie causing the effect.And I loathe the recon class... just the sight of them on my team boils my blood. But certain kits can be very effective and helpful to the team. CQB assault recons are just great to have as teammates. But they look ridiculous in the wookie suit.I hope this change helps people get the "sniper" image out of their minds and leads to more creative use of the kit. I know at least I wont throw up in my mouth when I see them on my team now. So, I guess that's something...
