maybe in vanilla bf2 where there is no restriction for the kit, or in CSS. The pistol a sniper is allocated makes for a fine cqb weapon. Actually let me rephrase my initial response: if the sniper and his spotter are in a urban landscape, the spotters weapon, will also make for a decent cqb weapon, if the sniper and spotter are in a urban landscape, and have a run in with some enemies, while relocating to a different position or while moving through the urban jungle.

Snipers working alone usually result in snipers being killed and the other team getting the sniper kit and it being used against the team it originally was intended to help. Just like H-AT being used by one person, that player dying and the H-AT falling into the hands of the enemy.

^Above is my personal opinion from experiences playing PR.

Really? Do you know that you need 4 people in the squad to request the marksman kit? get your facts straight, boy.

Edit: User was warned for "inappropriate tone/language". Come on, "boy" ? we aren't in a 1960s movie.

Who do I complain to about these power boner Moderators? Just because someone called someone a Boy? and another Person agreed with someone? Is this a Joke?

Snipers today, now operate in 2 to 8 man squads. I think a radio would be a good idea. But doing all the things require you to be squad leader so having an officer as a spotter isn't a bad idea. (pistol for CQB and rifleman for defense)

I think we should give FOB building abilities back to combat engineers, often now full squads are diverting from their objective to build FOB's.
Maybe right click with the spanner and you hold it up to the side of your face, like radio?

Put in an alternate sniper kit without the gtld but with a radio.
Seems like the best compromise about the whole lone wolf thing.

Yeah I know I'm amazing.

probly the best possible sollution and I imagine quite easy for the devs as well

Now I'm confused.

In the OP you stated you wanted to lase targets and plot them on the map using the SL radio?

But then a system where one kit gets the GLTD and another gets the Radio is the answer?

Wouldn't you need both to effectively lase targets and mark them on the map?
