Claymores Bouncing B's are the best counter. Normally dead silence users like to get behind the opposing team. I usually anticipate it and place it in a strategic area. I love tagging the guys who are just out to shoot you in the back.

It seems the only true counter is eye sight. lol

Just because we use sit rep pro doesn't mean everyone who uses it sound whores.

I have it on my msr class so that way i know if i hear any foot steps it's not a team mate (cause it turns the volume down for your teammates and your own footsteps) so i can switch to my mp9 and kill them soon as they run into my sight. This is also useful to me whenever I'm rushing on my sniping class. plus the ability to see enemy explosives or airdrop trap is good too.

I like hearing the enemy because it adds much needed realism to the game.

Is an enemy wielding an M60 with a stinger on his back and two spare belts going to be able to sneak up on me from behind on rubble SPRINTING?

Regardless of realism, we experience the game with TWO SENSES.

Eyes and ears.
For me, eyes are 75% of the experience and sound 25.

Play without sound (Volume turned to 0) and see how boring the game becomes when playing against dead silence assassins with their suppressed MP7s.

Why wasn't the sound and radius simply halved instead of negated to the point where players with turtle-beach headsets or surround CANNOT hear them AT ALL?
