So I a few things I would like to discuss about the operative class, and thought maybe some other people might want to as well.
The operative can’t really do anything while in disguise, you can’t even mark targets for your team! In the rare chance you find an enemy alone you can take then out, but most if the time your going to get killed a few seconds later, even if you take 3 guys out, I feel like I could achieve the same thing on the battlefield without a disguise.
If operatives could still mark targets with the spotters ability, or whatever it’s called, I think the whole “spy” thing would make much more sense.
We don’t really have any kind of backstab ability, you can melée with a knife if you have a pistol, but you better make sure to have your pistol out before going into disguise because you can’t swap weapons without giving up your disguise!
Our ability to hack into the enemies radar is okay, accept that quite alot of people don’t use the radar, so it’s not really an amazing skill compared with other class abilities.
We don’t have any ability to buff our team, while ever other class does.
Spotting mines is not that important because of the pace of the game, and most people don’t have difficulty seeing them in the first place. I don’t even know if you can spot mines while in disguise…
On alot of the maps, when your defending, there is no hacking objective, and placing “firewalls” really isn’t that thrilling.
Controling and hacking turrets is fun, but you need to level up before using these abilities.
Overall the class is okay, but I feel it’s missing some things…
