Thermal and smokes on S&D is a popular class in not only pubs but many MLG matches as well.
How is it boring to have the upper hand on someone because you can see them while they can't see you? That's strategy.
Seems like this section is only for bitching about things they don't like in the game.


Not bitching, but you have to admit that camping with a black and white vision al, game is boring... Good strategy, but boring as hell.

yea its hard to understand but its how they like to play and its not gonna change anything by making a thread about it :P


I know making a thread isn't going to help. I just can't understand why people like to use it, thought I could get some insight.

'Cause, like I said before, thermal takes the challenge out of it, how does one get a satisfying feeling out of a game when there's no challenge in it?

That's why I compare it to hacking; people might say it's "fun" to get so many kills without dying but what's the point lol? There's no competition.

You are aware that there is a perk that negates thermal sight? Using a thermal and smoke in an objective game mode is called strategy. You effectively eliminate a route the enemy can take. That is kind of the point of strategy, to create an advantage for yourself. I don't get how people struggle with this concept...

Having issues with a thermal player?

Then setup a class with thermal/smokes/Incog.

1) People use it in every mode, including TDM just to rack up kills

2) The perk just makes you not glow white, you can still see people through the scope

they can't see you through smoke if you have it is kind of the point unless actually killing somebody is your issue and not the smoke in which case i can't help you
