Oh yeah...perhaps this is also because of the latest patch...but regarding taking a disguise and running rampant with the knife:
You can maintain your disguise if you kill an enemy and no living enemy sees you doing the deed. What this means is that if you backstab an enemy in view of another enemy you'll lose your disguise when you plunge the knife in. However, if no living enemy saw what you did (including the guy you killed...so come from behind) you can maintain your disguise and continue backstabbing with delight.
Also - again I'm not sure if this was changed in a patch - but you can maintain your disguise while taking a forward spawn. You don't lose it when you press "Use" to capture the spawnpoint (you don't need the hacking tool) you lose it when you've completed the capture.
The covert class also has two useful XP upgrades:
- silent footsteps
- personal radar jammer (you don't show on enemy radar unless someone calls out your location...and you only flash on the map for a few seconds before going invisible again)
Combine those two with some careful attacks and you've become an invisible backstabbing machine.
