When should covert ops lose their uniform? (archived by Veli)

[Butcher]

Hi Mates!
We would like to ask members of Vietnam server and those TWC members who play frequently on Vietnam, what is their opinion about covert ops losing their uniform.
The basic ET settings is that covert ops lose their uniform/disguise when they fire a non-silenced weapon or the enemy sees them firing any weapon
We recently changed these settings, so that covert ops on Nam never lose their uniform when they fire any weapon. I think game became more exciting this way, as covert ops have more opportunity to infiltrate sneaky and destroy the enemy from inside. You will still be able to identifiy them by their mostly opposite moving and firing at your teammates.
Still we ask you to vote of you like these new settings or would like to reset the earlier classic settings.

I find this poll rather confusing. Both of the 2 first options are against the current setting, only the 3th isn't. So even if the 3th option would have the most amount of votes, it's still possible that most members want the original setting back.

I'm a bit confused perhaps. I thought in the original setting, it was only possible to keep uniform by knifing.

More explanation:
The standard ET setting is that covops can fire silenced weapons and keep their uniform UNLESS an enemy does not see them! -> check Option 1 if you want to reset these original setting, as it refers back to this first statement (firing silenced weapon, enemy does not see you = keep uniform)

First scenario is the standard ET setting,
last scenario is currently set (covopos never lose uniform), that is what you have been experiencing in the recent 2 weeks.
I ask you, were all of sure of this??

I find the first option to be normal and better.
The only thing that bothers me is this scenario:
What is the definition of "seeing someone fire a weapon" as covert ops?
Because if you snipe someone from far away and another enemy just happens to have his screen turned towards you but he doesn't ACTUALLY see you, as in the player controlling that enemy didn't notice irl, you will have lost your suit?
Even if that enemy is on the whole other side of the map happening to look in your direction?

I think keeping uniform is nice and interesting and everyone gets the "Disguised enemy" notice if their cov ops is good enough so it doesn't actually bug me if we wouldn't change the setting. I think keeping the uniform is what actually made covert ops appealing for me these past weeks while I normally never play it. On the other hand, I kinda feel like the challenge should be bigger, like it is was in standard ET, and thus when you want to infiltrate you'll have to strategically change suits now and then.

I mean even with the "keeping" of the uniform I had the tendency to change uniforms on the battlefield so I'd be able to confuse the persons that knew in which person I was disguised. Thus I'm voting option one, because I kind of feel I was changing or finding new uniforms a lot to be effective as a "close combat infiltrate Cov Ops" anyway. And you should just use the art of not being seen if you want to play the "long distance sniping Cov Ops".

just onje thing, with the current setting, the bots see me even if im doing exactly what they're doing, and they kill me instantly.
