Why does Tactical Cloak barely work in ME3?
Half the time I activate it and enemies will stare me down while in it or even shoot me during it! In ME2 this never happened but here I'm getting gunned down while I'm supposed to be invisible.

It's because the enemy AI in ME3 is smarter. Enemies now realize you're still there if you cloak while they can see you, or if you do something to make yourself obvious to them (such as bump into them). They still can't tell where you are- they just shoot at the last place they saw you, so try moving off to the side instead of just standing still.

I believe enemies have been upgraded in ME3 to remember where you were when you cloak in plain sight. If you cloak from cover, it doesn't happen.

Plus splash damage, firing at a squadmate behind you, etc all can damage while cloaked. It's not a shield, but a mobility power.

I had this same thought literally last night. As an Infiltrator main one of the best perks is cloaking and losing all aggro. Though, it does make sense that you can't just cloak in the middle of a fire fight and expect to take 0 damage. Just something to get used to!

I don't expect that though, but I've had multiple instances of popping it and then someone guns me down on the move.

I pretty much use Cloak while behind cover.....never get aggro.

Don't know if that helps or if it works.
