I still say at least Marksman should be able to counter it by showing their names and get red crosshairs and such. After all, that's what a marksman is for; being able to spot things others would miss barring total invisibility, which the Assassin is not, thankfully.

I think there should be a way to fully counter it. Perhaps a 6-8 killstreak or something considering 9 is reaper or AH-6 and 7 is Helicopter. And yeah, I can get osprey gunners (infact I never got one with Assassin Pro), using hardline is how I got most high killstreaks. Portable radar can be used for an edge when starting any type of match, you just throw it near some place where people will usually walk around on and its a fairly good UAV when you need it. I think a reduced range might be a bit more fair, I'm not against it as I've said, I use it myself but when I do, if its not me, my team is racking up really easy kills and it must get annoying (I know I would if I was on the other team).

I feel like Im better than anyone who uses assassin. Dont have to be invisible to get my beloved osprey gunners lol

80% of my deaths may be assassin users. If there was a kill streak or piece of equipment to fully counter Id use it.(Besides the easily destroyed recon drone and recon perk but i use portable radar and trophy system myself) #teamhardlinepro

I personally love this bad boy, if I ever prestige again I will definitely be using a token on it. It does come with a downside, being that I find myself being killed by assassin users often simply because I am too busy red dot watching and not paying attention to my surroundings. I guess I use it as a crutch at times, so have considered going without it in order to improve my game and map awareness. I am a good player no doubt, but nowhere near the best and the portable radar is probably a reason why.

ok maybe the range is a bit big but it does replace ur flashes which come in handy.

i actually think using recon and flash grenades are more useful than the portable radar. but i could do without the portable radar, anyways. like you said, once you figure out they are using the portable radar, you can just switch to an assassin class.

That should be enough to render anything else moot.

It's funny, I used my second prestige token to unlock the portable radar, and haven't used it since. At the time I was playing a lot of FFA and it seemed like it might come in handy, but I just got so used to running with flashbangs and concussion grenades and never took the time to equip and use it often enough to get used to it. Mostly I would just curse when I wanted to throw a flashbang into a room before walking in, only to drop a portable radar and get shot in the face.

portable radar is fine

get rid of assasin and all deathsreaks that kill, especially dead man's hand.

typ95 is great, but not even the best ar. the m16 needs a buff on the cereal. it sucks hard. 3 bursts per kill? for real?

You don't scope directly into the guy (that's commonly mistaken for a no-scope on the killcam), you scope near him and shoot him. Quickscoping is shooting as soon as the crosshairs appear. Anyway, this is off topic.
