Sometimes I wonder if the dev meetings go like this:

Dev 1: "Two players on our official forums suggested that sitrep pro should counter dead silence and make it completely useless. Their names were IlikeToCamp5651230 and xxxxCampsALotxxxxx. What do you guys think?"

Dev 2: "Oh, that sounds like a great idea!"

Dev 3: "I don't know guys, wouldn't that force people to crouch walk across the map and encourage camping?"

Dev 2: "I don't see the problem with that, people love to crouch walk everywhere, why not make it mandatory..."

Dev 3: "But it would slow the game down to a snails pace!!!"

Dev 2: "Snails? I love snails!!! Lets do it!"

Dev 1: "Me too!! Lets tell the game engineers to make the change!"

Dev 3: *facepalms*

play a lot then?  Way to let others dictate your game play

It's done the exact opposite. It's made it even more of a campfest than it already is. I run and gun, and use it to try and get the edge on other players doing the same. I used to use Dead Silence Pro to help me flank campers, but now that tactic is useless I have resorted to using SitRep Pro to help spot them by the equipment they use (Portable Radar, Claymore, etc).

Sad thing is.. the tactic isn't useless... you just think that since they can hear you at NORMAL VOLUME that you can't do it...  But again.. it's always the DS users who are crying because the perk they loathe finally works how it was supposed to work in the first place.  Imagine that.. your perk finally works the way it is suppose to work too...  not 100% silent.
