disallow cloaking with sniper rifles in hand to prevent desync cloaks but allow them to swap to pistol to cloak and move from a location
That would be just silly.. Not only is desync present on all classes, having to switch or a sidearm to cloak? Let me just, shoot. Whip out the pistol, cloak. Move 5 meters to the left. Pull out main gun, and shoot.
yes exactly that, without the desync single shot headshot the class is less annoying to deal with and actually requires you to think about placement instead of standing out in the open firing from same location and being untouchable because of desync cloaking
It seems my comment went over someone's head, because that suggestion makes 0 sense. Yeah, and you're suggesting To shoot -> switch to a sidearms -> cloak -> move ->decloak -> switch back to primary -> shoot. That's just silly, and terrible game design. Instead of suggesting unrealistic nerfs, please try the following: Desync is on all classes, adjust to it. Avoid walking in a straight line. Avoid open areas. Use a darklight.
