The Spec Ops Kit needs re-touching

Okay from what i've seen the spec ops kit's importance in pr is greatly exaggerated , I know people talk about this in game and i agree, they have 2 slams , which are alot weaker then the c4 obviously , but this game is all about patience , and the only good thing about having the spec ops kit is no armor more sprint , which are basically usualess anyway .

A patience engineer could get C4 on something just as easy as any spec ops guy could , i really do not see the point in this kit .

I think maybe they should have more bandages , prehaps a soflam , and maybe a flash bang as people always use these in the feild . I really don't have too many ideas , but it does need revising .

State your ideas or thuaghts . .

All kits will have body armor in 0.7 because specops will be requested. It's space on the spawn menu will be replaced with a kit that has armor.

Golden Rule: You spawn with armor, you keep that armor

Yep, which is why the only time I go SF is when I spawn as medic on accident, which is a kit I suck with, and there happens to be a SF kit near by from the guy who got marksman (sniper to him).

What a pity, just because people don't know how to use the SF kit?
Maybe this is to late but this is my suggestion for the SF kit.
Keep it in the spawn menu.
Make a limited kit for the SF only to be requested on the commanders support truck. So you need a commander for this kit.
Who can request? A SF in a squad where there is atleast 2 SF, and only one request kit for the squad.
Limit this kit to maximal 2-3 kits for the whole platoon.
The kit contains: M4A1 with ACOG 4x scope, body armor, sound suppressor and 203 grenade launcher mount.
Why this kit. We still need SF squads operating, and giving them SOPMOD will make them more fearsum and useful and still it won't be spammed by John's as it is limited like this.

This is probably the worst suggestion I've ever read.

Jaymz do you think you could give us hint , or even just tell us how the spec ops kit will be changed for future use ? and is there a thread that tells you what is coming up in the next update ??

As I was going to St. Ives, / I met a man with seven wives. / Every wife had seven sacks, / Every sack had seven cats, / Every cat had seven kittens. / Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, / How many were going to St. Ives?

One for a fact is actually going to St. Ives. You never stated which direction the other man was traveling. If he was traveling with you then that would make two.

LOL None?

None. There are no kittens, cats, sacks, or wives going to St Ives. Technically there could be up to 2401 kitten/cats/sacks/wives going to St Ives, but since it's not explicitly stated that they're (the kittens/cats/sacks/wives) going to St Ives (or anywhere for that matter), one would have to assume that they're not.

Could you imagine trying to herd 2352 felines anywhere, never mind to St Ives? :mrgreen:

Also, I'm not sure if this riddle is telling us that there will be no changes to the Spec Ops class, or he just won't give any hints.

LOL nice work Jaymz... carefully deflecting answers and farther questions by making people put some deep thought into a vague riddle. :lol: intelligent :)

One, the man who met all this ****, now tell me!

NM, it 2800 kittens/cats/sacks/wives. But the answer is still 0. Or 1 if you think the question includes the narrator.

You realize, Jaymz, that I woke up thinking about this math problem. I haven't done that since high-school. You're an evil evil man. :razz:
