A few facts...
Sitrep Pro doubles the sound of enemy footsteps, it doesn't multiply it x4, (that was in MW2)
Before the patch Dead Silence was over powered as it had NO counter.
Now, Sitrep Pro counters Dead silence as it should be - because Dead Silence still Counters Sitrep Pro!
SP = own footsteps x0.5, friendly footsteps x0.5, enemy footsteps x2 , DS users x1
DS = own footsteps muted, friendly footsteps x1, enemy footsteps x1, SP users x1
This means when you use dead silence you can hear Sitrep Pro users EXACTLY the same volume as they can hear you, but with the advantage of not being able to hear your own footsteps. This advantage is countered by the fact that Sitrep pro users hear friendlies a little quieter than DS users.
This my friends is the very definition of "balanced", so stop pissing and moaning just because someone kills you and stop tring to blame something which both on paper and in practice now functions correctly.
This. And the fact crawling/crouching negates the effects of SRP.
But it comes down to why people are now acknowledging Sit Rep Pro when it's been like this for a while (since they patched it) and even in Modern Warfare 2. SRP in that game was the pinnacle of power - purely because you could hear people literally across the map - but did no-one use it then? No, because getting the Pro was a tedious challenge and the power of Ninja, Commando and even Steady Aim were all in the Tier 3 slot. Did people complain about it then? No.
But now, after the Devs admitting SRP was supposed to counter DS all along (what they did wasn't a buff, it was a mere bug fix/feature change) - why have all of a sudden people became so outraged over something which has performed pretty much the same since it made its debut in MW2 - it was quietly nerfed in MW3 compared to MW2; the sound amplification isn't the same to it's predecessor. A perk, in my honest opinion, should NEVER make you completely silent - Dead Silence still does that to non-SRP using guys - but having the ability to hear-out those using DS has been made in the form of SRP. I would rather have a perk to make silent-Perks audible than have no counters to someone running around making no noise.
Perhaps the general community being stupidified by the COD YouTubers throwing their toys out of the pram because something so simple like SRP/DS is such a major problem for them? In what way on God's gracious green earth is it a significant problem to merit a KONY 2012-style campaign that some YouTubers seem to be managing? Why are there no Blind Eye/Assassin, MP7/ACR and Lag Comp/Connectivity campaigns - or have I not seen them? If one YT guy has an issue with something insignificant, why is it then suddenly hundreds/thousands have the same issue without experiencing it for themselves? Blind leading the blinder .. sheep?
Those that complain about something like this, do they even use the Perk themselves? How about the cliché "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and use the Perk to combat those who also use it, or to become the alleged "overpowered" warfighter when you equip it.
Those accusations that now EVERYONE uses Sit Rep and no-one Dead Silence are quite bold attempts, but unfortunately are quite farce - of all the times I've played Domination, Search & Destroy and Team Tactical game modes, I've seen more players using Marksman (dubbed as the "legal aimbot", what the hell?) and Stalker than ever using Sit Rep. I play pretty much every night with a varying array of players from different areas - and it's all the same: Blind Eye, Assassin, Marksman/Stalker .. progresses to sit in corner. Definitely see a lot more using that setup than people using something else with SRP.
