BF2S Forums Wheres my Ghillie Suit?

I've only seen snipers without ghillie suits in Special Forces.
All BF2 vanilla snipers wear ghillie suits as far as I know.

Do you have any screens or something?

One, how do you know since you only have a first-person view?

And two, with the exception of one or two areas on certain maps the ghillie suit doesn't make you hard to see anyway, particularly at range by another sniper, so don't sweat it

1). Certain death animations are shown in a 3rd person view and you can see from that angle (hence why its difficult to provide screen grabs).

Ghillie disappears when you die, so your corpse isn't "ghillied".

edit: Goes for any kit, your corpse looks always same even if your kit haves armor/ghillie/bags/etc.
And by corpse i mean: "You have been killed", not "You have been critically wounded".

edit2: Your "kit outfit" might disappear when your kit bag appears on ground, so you wont have ghillied assault or something similar (someone takes your kit, medic revives you, and you get nearest bag), not sure tough. But still body armors seem to transfer from kit to another, anyone with accurate information about this???

Roger. It's probably as Ettercrab says, that the corpse reverts to a generic uniform.

thanks anyway though

NP. Should point out though that for a lot of people there are no dark areas on urban maps... with dynamic shadows turned off the game looks a bit crap but boy do people have a hard time hiding from you!
