Cloak Tracker 3: useful or useLESS?

Post » Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:53 am

Cloak Tracker puts green flakes around cloaked enemies within a certain radius of your position. With each upgrade of the module, the green flakes become more potent. I now have Cloak Tracker 3, and I find it to be unreliable. I only noticed an increase in green flakes when I upgraded from Cloak Tracker 1 to Cloak Tracker 2, and I didn't notice any difference between Cloak Tracker 2 and Cloak Tracker 3 whatsoever. So much for "Maximum visibility of cloaked enemies"...eat my sh*t.

Sometimes even Cloak Tracker 3 does not work, just straight up don't. I would be able to see the distorted background image of a cloaker, and I would even follow some of them for a little bit, while absolutely no green flakes appear.

I expected Cloak Tracker 3 to be more effective against moving cloakers, because Cloak Tracker 2 did not produce enough green flakes to accurately determine the position of a running cloaker, and unfortunately Cloak Tracker 3 did not improve on that at all.

So now I once again have decided maybe it's better to just strain my eyes a bit and play "I SPY" everywhere I go.
Perhaps any of you have had more luck with this?

Yeah, cloak tracker kinda svcks. I admit it was level 1 module, but it didn't work for me.

Well would you look at this video here and it shows a different cloak tracker that is much more effective. WHY DID THEY NOT DO THIS?

Yep, noticed this as well. I'm wondering if it's because I'm in stealth (like Visor Enhance) but haven't really gone back to the module so I /care...

Regardless, I reckon it's a bug!

Yea and when I looked up Crysis 2 Wiki, it said that Cloak Tracker 3 is supposed to show cloakers just as cloaked teammates are shown, so is this some kind of bug or terrible joke?

If it does suppose to work like that then it's IMO OP. Though I do admit that cloaker tracker lvl 3 got me killed more than I spot them, I just use my nano vision which I think is more reliable than the said module.

All I have to say is that cloak tracker is unreliable, or probably I'm just using it the work way.

^Yea many more people would be using Cloak Tracker if it was that effective, but I think we need it, cloak is overpowered in Crysis 2, just compare its usage to other suit functions, and count the number of times you see your killer using cloak in killcam.
