As well all know, the specializations have created quite a stir. Fear not, this is not a bashing thread or a generic COD comparison. I’ll leave that to random internet trolls and over emotional purists.
Moving on, i would like to discuss the Drop Recon Mod, which is part of the Engineer specialization. I can see this mod being competitively viable as it allows one person on the team to know when and where a drop will be before it appears. Not only that, you will know the contents of the drop as well.
With that information, you can call out to your teammates and set up on the other team so you can gain the power weapon to own the other noobs you’ve just outplayed. Knowledge is power and by using this, you can take full advantage of that fact.
If you gain the power weapons, map control becomes that much more easier to obtain and a team with map control usually wins the game.
Of course in an organized team, you would only need one person for this role since stacking a bunch of Engineers wouldn’t give you any significant advantages IMO.
And no, you don’t have the wear the helmet associated with the Engineer specialization in case some of you were wondering (this can be applied to the rest of them).
