I find it almost impossible to get past the hacking objective in a game. Not only does it take forever to hack, but an engineer can easily remove the hack box, completely wasting the work you put in. I think the hack time should be faster, removing the hack box should be taken out, or the operative should be allowed to use his secondary weapon.

Try moving around when you're hacking - think about how you can get out of sight, or make yourself less of a target behind shooty friends. Also, wait for waves of your team to get proper support. When you all arrive try to dive in and hack for a bit, then if it's just you left/if you become a target, stop hacking, clean up the enemies or wait till it's safe, then start hacking again. They're my tactics! And try to kill those pesky engineers first!

Sorry if this post is no use :shakehead:

Hacking is fine if your team can defend you. Problem is you end up with too many Ops hacking to "speed it up" and not enough guns defending. If you have some defenses and are willing to break your hack to fight them off when needed it can be completed fairly quickly.

my main gripe with this is if you're in overtime in a objective game it ends when no one is currently hacking it... i think it should last till the box is off the console...

i personally have no problem with dehacking... except when you're trying to hack against a team of engis... they walk in ... finally drop everyone ... then 3 dehack it...

on a similar front... why does overtime end while you're carrying the package?... last night i played a game... we were at 80 something percent delivered when the time ran out and it ended the game instead of letting us finish...
