Are cloakers still visible in sniper scopes?

I haven't played since Beta. I figured there were issues that needed to be fixed before I paid for the game. I'm back now on a 7 day free trial and am looking for a second cert. I used to be a Galaxy pilot/cloaker or a Galaxy pilot/sniper. In beta, cloakers used to be visible on sniper scopes even when they were standing competely still. Is this still the case?

I dont think so, Im a sniper/cloaker and i can only see cloakers when they are movin, so i think they removed that. I do know that you can see cloakers better thru a sniper scope then you could running behind them.

They fixed most of it but some Graphics drivers still get around it

Only when you're movin'

Cloakers are visible to me for a split second after I spawn, even if they're cloaked and not moving. It's like they just turned on cloak after I spawn so I just shoot where I saw them disappear.

Stationary cloakers are not visible in sniper scopes. Crouch walking cloakers are far more visible through the scope than they would be if you were standing right next to them.

not anymore, i used to be able to hit any clocker that moved becaue they kinda gave off a glow but they don't anymore, its very hard to see them now

Yeah, but the fact that the interlink facility, and all bases connected to it, show you on radar kinda sucks. That and the occasional guy makin' a DL sweep are the ONLY reason I die in this game. Thank God a patch is comin' out that allows Silent Run to nullify this.

No you can't and they are also looking at cloackers because some cloackers are easier to see then others, or was that last patch?

Madcow · 2004-01-23, 11:20 PM

Wasn't last patch, not even sure it's this patch. It's something they're supposedly looking into at any rate. Poor NC infil bastards. That BMX helmet reflection graphic screws them over.

I see them like flashlights when I use Bolt Driver, which is so rare it doesn't matter in my case.
