EA_Leeuw I'm bringing this to your attention. I hope that isn't violating any standards or rules. But it does seem that of all the challenges for each class, this one is diproportionately hard and disconnected from a viable recon path to Spec ops.

I personally do not like sniping because I SUCK at it! But love the recon class option to be a stealthy infiltrator. You can imagine my horror and discouragement when I found that if I wanted to have that playstyle I'd have to be a good sniper first.
Wouldn't it make more sense for this training path to be opened up by doing things that relate to it? Like spending a certain amount of time in a contested zone, or using UAV a certain number of times, or using your motion sensor to ping a certain number of enemies within an objective perimeter? This would be rewarding someone who is playing like a spec ops person with more tools to make them better at it.
