Worthwhile skills?: Operative

Iron sighting as in bringing up your iron sight/scope/red dot.

I don’t think you have to ADS to trigger combat int.

Quick someone test it.

In pubs, operative is still useful. Caltrops can deter people quite easily.
As for comms hack, i’d rather have all 8 enemies on my radar than just the 1 iron sighting at me. The radar could be more useful with the up and down pointing triangles for different levels but I think it’s still great.
Disguising is still useful too. It helps you flank without a bright red outline around you.

A medic giving put health buffs and revives is useful. An engineer giving weapon buffs and planting mines and turrets is useful. Having enough soldiers to refill ammo is useful, and their durability from kevlar and special grenades is a good plus.

By comparison, op, bring very little to the table. Caltrops are ok, but they just can’t match the other classes’ abilities.

Ops really should as a general rule only be played to achieve hack objectives. Your team will almost always be better off with another class.
