Please Provide Alternate Path To Recon 2
I play as an infiltrator recon. I get into the objectives, lay down a motion sensor, use my drone to cover the area, and generally provide spotting and sighting for my teammates. I run around with a DMR so I get a bit of sniping, but all mid range stuff. I get very few kills, but I consistently finish in the top 10. Why? That's battlefield. I'm doing my job.
How awesome is it that there is a training path for me! Spec ops is perfectly aligned with my role. But in order to unlock it... I have to sit at the edge of a pretty big map, probably playing breakthrough only, using a 6x scope and taking pot shots at people looking for that headshot from 150m away. And I have to do this... 50 times.
In other words - I have to play EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of a Spec ops, in order to become a Spec Ops. Assault and Support do not function this way. You start playing like the path you want, and eventually you get it. Engineer is also exactly the opposite of what it should be. If you want to focus on repairing vehicles, you first have to focus on damaging vehicles.
Recon 1 and 2 and Engineer 1 and 2 should be flipped. That way you can play the style you want and then are rewarded for playing that style well with perks to help you perform better.
Yesterday I played 4 games. All of them to try to secure headshots. I got 5. All of them were inside 150m. So none of them counted.
So I am begging. PLEASE provide some alternative path to unlock spec ops. You can't just get an xp boost and make it happen. Please either change the requirement completely, drop it to 10 headshots within 100m, or provide some way I can buy this upgrade. I'd honestly pay $5 to skip it. Right now there is pretty much no hope of me ever unlocking it.
