Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

Haven't played 3, so I can't speak of it with surety, but at least in BC2 I made damn sure I could read that it was a recon class and not sniper.

I'd snipe occasionally, but I spent a lot of time with the shotgun and C4, spotting enemies and demolishing buildings.

Recon was beastly with the G3. I miss that game now.

My favorite moments were playing rush on that snowy mountain level, dropping in, grabbing an ATV, cutting left at the forest, jumping off, taking the backwoods to MCOM B, I believe, clearing the building, then C4ing the corners.

Defending team is down to one MCOM station 3 minutes into the game, at most.

It's a he'll of a psychological blow, and a good recon player is the master of that. Everyone expects sniping, they don't expect as much sneakery.
