It gets annoying when you’re trying to hack someone and they pull out a pistol and start shooting your face or have his face explode killing you in the process.
Comms hack becomes pretty useless around rank 5 gameplay since people seem to opt for downed fire and that it’s a universal skill.
So my question is, should comms hack disable any action that can be done when you’re incapitated?
*Unless of course they already changed it
I though thats already the case… Or maybe its just for reviving… At least I remember lying on the floor unable to do what I wanted to do. It was quite frustrating…
Guess it sucks either way depending on what side you are 
You do know those are like 2 of the counters to Comms Hack. You’re silly.
There are enough people at rank 5 who don’t take downed fire.
Your teammate’s supposed to be the counter to comms hack, the ability is already pretty underused anyway. If I want to gib my opponent I would’ve just meleed his face instead of standing there exposing myself for several crucial seconds.

I never take downed fire. I’m far more useful if a medic can revive me than I am firing off a couple of extra shots and the severe health gimp makes it much more likely you’ll be killed as soon as you’re incapped.
Admitedly my operative has cortex bomb and I use it often, but how many operatives do you run into?
2 things id like to point out.
If you see a downed Operative in a rank 5 game you should know hes prob gonna have a cortex bomb so dont even try to comms hack them just shoot em while theyre down.
I know what its like to get shot by someone who has downed fire while trying to hack them. However, a simple way around it that is pretty funny is if you comms hack someone who has downed fire just keep moving in a circle while holding the action button. They will be unable to track you or hit you too many times because they have to try to keep you in their sites. Once I discovered this I have been able to comms hack people with downed fire without getting shot. And its pretty funny watching them look in circles trying to get you lol.
There are situations for all of the down features… pretty deciding ones… and when they happen youll want to have the certain skill to change the outcome of the round.
