In experience, C&D runs out of cloak as I'm running before I can make it effective for Stalk kills. And by the time you've actually killed somebody, there'll be someone trailing behind you and you're cloak is extremely low (making you an easy target because you can really escape far with the C&D). Again, in experience, when sitting above targets waiting for a leaping stab using the IW, I always get the first target because I'm ready to go (as I'm uncloaked - thus not wasting cloak charge). With the C&D, however, players have this weird additional fear of being caught, so a lot of players will stayed cloaked - it's this that slows you down. You see the target, uncloak, and, by the time you've uncloaked (2 seconds), the target is outside your effective range. I'd think so too, but, due to the amount of time you're spending crouch walking to the spawn, you're also leaving a trail - opening doors, cloak/uncloak sound, and that makes players suspicious. Let's say you open a door and there's a Pyro. You're on half-cloak with the C&D - you can't run far because you'll go into blink cloak, and you can't stand still because the Pyro's flames will catch you. With the IW, you're half empty on cloak. You can run a lot further, and, if near the battle field, pick up and fallen ammo and make a quick escape in several different routes. Of course, this is all hypothetical, but still. A lot of it happens. OT: I got a Strange Ambassador today from a friend :3 I love it. It's going to be literally all Sniper w/ Razorback kills, I know it. That's all I use it for. That and taking out Engie's from a distance. Speaking of taking Engie's down from a distance, on pl_barnblitz, if you're on RED, go to the top of the tower while you're defending the final cap. There's all sorts of beautiful things to snipe with the Amby - charged medic's standing around, Engies and their buildings, and no one checks up there because it's so high up. Of course, once you get a couple of kills, people will realise where you are, but even then the DR is perfect for that situation <3: Also, H2PM, Jule's furious anger: Pulp Fiction?
