Something has to be done about recons using thermal while sniping! This is ruining the ghost war for over half of the community. The only guys who are OK with it are the guys doing it! Thermal goggles it self isn't the issue. The issue is combining the thermal with the sniper scope giving them the ability to see a fly on the moon all the way from earth! Please hotfix!!

Pretty crazy it was left out of the beta had it not been i doubt it would of been in by release. Ruined the game imo

I really don't believe there's a balance issue. I understand there's a good chunk of players that dislike thermal, but I experimented with it today as a sniper, and it just makes spotting enemies easier. It doesn't completely negate any skill, imo, it's just a perk (as advertised). Like fast running, or quicker healing, it offers a specific slight advantage. It's not like x-ray vision. The foliage, buildings, and other structures and objects provide adequate cover to be shielded so players using thermal don't spot you. I'd hate to see it removed because it's interesting gameplay content, but I can understand if they were to add another perk which removes your thermal signature, that would be a direct counter to the thermal perk.

We appreciate all the feedback we've received regarding thermal vision since launch. We have made sure to pass all of it on to the team, and we'll update you as soon as we know more.

Considering balancing issues were a big part of the reason for the beta, it surprises me too.

I personally am suprised that they added thermal. I use thermal but I really wish they hadn't added it. For me if they were adding thermal they should have at least made it a limited time usage item so that you has to choose when to use it.
