Recon is quite rewarding and surprisingly fun.

And I don't mean sniping, I got some binoculars and found a high vantage point with a good view, and started spotting any enemies and vehicles I could see.

It's so satisfying when you see your team mate being ambushed, but then you spot the target revealing them and suddenly your team mate targets them, kills them. I get cash and XP, they survive.

Occasionally when I see a stationary target, I try with my newbie sniping skills, but quickly go back to recon. Hah. Was quite fun.
