It may technically be cheating, and I probably won't use it, but the entire implementation of FOB is fundamentally broken, both in concept (because they kept adding items to nerf basic player abilities because of how exploitable reflex is), but also in that FOB is entirely buggy due to the AI/gimmick hard limit that makes it so that enemies literally pop out of nothing due to the limit on active AI imposed by the PS3 and possibly engine limitations.
Despite this, there are far to many placeable gimmicks (sensors, cameras, decoys) along with full AI soldiers and UAVs so that it only renders some of them at a time, and snipers will go from un-rendered to seeing you once their AI package gets activated. This basically limits playstyles to "total ghost", in which case your're f*cked and dead immediately if you make a single mistake on a high level base, or just taking a drum mag on a sniper rifle and bodyshotting everything before it has a chance to respond, which is just awful to play against and terribly boring and antithetical to the whole concept of the game and series.
Snipers might be difficult in the beginning, just remember they are always in the same position, can be distracted for like 20 seconds with a empty mag or tranq bullet and always look at the last explosion. Great you made this mod, but it feels like limiting a jet to helicopter speed because it's too fast :/

Wouldn't it be cheating to some extent?
