A trick i use is that I changed the skin for the SBH.. it isnt clear anymore but its white... they still can hide. but it appears easier for you. Not a mod, but a skin, which is allowed..

Actually - in my humble opinion - changing the steath skin to "white" as you say - is a "cheat" - not just a trick.

which isn't allowed on most servers.

My reasoning - the effect of the steath is exactly like it's suppose to be "out of box" - if you get close - you see a shimmer. It's there - but not that noticable.

then - as you start hitting them with weapons - they glimmer more.

Changing the skin to bright white - or pink - or orange - is taking away the ability of the steath at close range. Their suppose to be hard to see - unless uncloaked. For a reason...

Changing that is cheating - plain and simple.

If your going to do that - what's to stop someone from making all the sniper skins "bright hunter orange"? - easier to see them so you can pick them off sooner?

- yes - you can change the skin - but is it in good gaming ethics to do so?

"Hey - i can change all the skins to have orange on the head - so when my mouse cursor sees orange - "click""

see where i'm going with this?

The other players don't know you changed the skin - so they are under the idea your seeing the same thing they see.

I think Westwood dropped the ball to allow you change the steath skins.

Just because you can do something doesn't make it right.

This sort of thinking can kill a game.

I bring this up because i was in a game over the weekend - and we were on field - I was on Nod - and we had the center - the tunnels were under control - and the game was set pretty much in our favor.

Well - some of the GDI players thought - "hey - we can shoot through the mountains and hit the Refinery...."

so they used an exploit to gain enough points to win the game.

One reply by a GDI exploiter - "Hey - this is war - and you have to do anything to win..."

Guess he never heard of Honor.....

food for thought....
