Why dosn't amyone use the stealth soldiers for recon, they are perfect for sneaking around the map and telling the rest of the team whats coming, and if you get 3-5 out there. you can attack the GDI forces from behind (with c4) as they race for your base or crawl (in the case of the mammoth tank)once you get real good at NOT shooting your team will almost be unstoppable.

Not the entire game, just when you are waiting fot the credits to stack up so you can afford that vehicle you want and you hate being an engineer (unless noone else wants to engineer) then its the perfect thing tto do to make yourself useful.

I recon all the time. Its my fav thing to do (other than using stealth soldiers to stick c4 on snipers). It is one of the most basic tactics and its sad to see even the vets overlook it.

that is correct. no respectable force should ever go out of the base without recon on their side. and it's great for base defence as well. it makes any rush much easier to stop if you have advance knowledge that it's on the way. this tactic has been almost completely over looked by most of us and should be used by all teams.

Usually I would use stealth sneak into GDI base on those map without AGT. I will report back any tank the GDI has brought and occationally place C4 on MCT to distract their plan. If I have money I would also brought a nuke beacon and do my dirty work.

recon is not that effective. a lot of advanced infantry can see the flaw in stealth, and by the time u finish typing, usually the attack has already started
the stealth is usually on good for sneak attacks or stealing vehicles.btw, i have found a way, if u r playing on a server with idiots, to ge ta vehicle wihhout stealth (sometimes not even in Nod)  . Once i was in a sniping position in Field. I saw a engineer step out of a flame tank, repairing it. just about when it was back to full health, i shot him . However, another engy was running to it to claim it . I sniped him as well  , the gladly took the "present" he openly invited me to take.

I use stealth black hand for recon and taking out preoccupied snipers and non-moving units (the Gunners that wait on a hill and seem to ignore incoming fire until death). Recon can sometimes bring advanced knowledge of enemy tactics up to a few minutes before it appears on your doorstep. Most times people are stealth black hand for beacon run and placing C4 on people...

What's fun is to get on an air transport with one, and jump off before it gets destroyed/reaches destination. That way everyone runs after the transport and you can sneak off to nuke another building.

The maps are too small for a dedicated scout. Telling people what killed you etc. should be enough too know what's coming. And knowing which tactics work best for which sides on which maps, should give you a good idea on what to expect, making recon even less valuable.
