What we have been discussing here is precisely that. The spy IS a blufor soldier looking like a civilian, without medic bags and field dressings, though. In real-life though, Special Forces soldiers are told NEVER EVER stay more than an arm's length from your gun. Meaning, even under civilian clothes, they carry a concealed pistol, for self-defense if necessary.

That's why they should REMOVE the name tags... Under my post I said it would only work if the name tags are away... Otherwise, yeah, it would be useless.

i agreeat elast on insurgency name tags, unless in your squad, should be removed. because tbh IRL your not going to know the name of everyone on the battlefield also it will make people more cautios

Sounds like a plan. However, name tags could actually save this Spec Forces guy from being shot by friendlies.

I don't think too many insurgents currently use name tags to identify each other unless the is target very far away. If this idea is implemented, they just might start to.

He may at least take a field dressing with him, can't he, maybe along with a knife or pistol?

How about instead of "Spy" and what not.. We just make like 2 people who are able to talk to all the squad leaders? We can have them be like... civilian informants. Like the ones who help the Marines out in Iraq, the pacifists that want to get rid of the insurgents.

They can be disguised as collaborators and they run around informing to the BluFor?

Well, IRL there is alot more people than 32 on each side.

32 people is like a classroom, you get to know their names by the end of 3rd week if you are lucky.

I think Insurgency is fine as it is, because BluFor already has all the firepower...etc... and with this addition, they can just get one or two guys to search for cache and everyone else party in(or around) the base until one cache is found and everyone rushes at one spot to pwn everything.

on a second thought this wouldn't be that much a bad idea. Only thing is will he be that valuable?

Project reality - People who do this IRL, special forces - DEVs dont wish to add special forces in game.
