Covert Sneakers Broken/OP

[Chibi_Scrub]

Fair warning, I do not own MWIII on Steam (Battle.net), so I cannot give an accurate playtime so I will say I've probably got a good few days to a week of playtime under my belt right now from free time I am able to get.

So, in my personal opinion as it stands, Covert Sneakers are the best boots in the game right now. They eliminate your footstep audio and is NOT countered by the Bone-Conduction Headset, and doesn't give any incentive to using the Dead Silence field upgrade.

I can forgive Dead Silence not being countered by the BCH because it's a high risk-high reward field upgrade. You gain movement speed and complete silence in movement in exchange for an AUDIBLE pinging sound once you pop it and you have to chain kills together to keep it up and running, else you run outta juice quickly.

Covert Sneakers on the other hand, are just a piece of gear that acts as a perk. If someone isn't running BCH, like, okay you got 'em there, you wouldn't hear 'em. But if someone is running the BCH, they should hear you even if you are using Covert Sneakers. Now I am not saying that your movement should be bass-boosted like if you're not wearing the Sneakers and someone's running the BCH, but at the LEAST your movement should sound on-par with normal game audio if you weren't running BCH and heard someone without the Sneakers. But this is just what I personally think.
As it stands in my opinion right now, Covert Sneakers are basically a permanent Dead Silence without any of the risks involved with the field upgrade without the movement speed buff.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR Covert Sneakers need a nerf for the Bone-Conductor Headset to act as a counter to give a little more incentive to run the Dead Silence field upgrade.

Not to doodoo on you but every good cod game has always had "dead silence" as a perk not a "field upgrade". Having everyone running around sounding like elephants helps no one but the campers and the people who sit in corners. Being able to move silently through the map will 100% make people play more aggressive and hopefully make for more entertaining and frequent gunfights.

I assume you're running ghost too? Ghost is definitely broken right now and you're being pinged randomly when you shouldn't be on the map.

Just what I was thinking, I am very happy we have the sneaky sneakers
