Despite that being said, people do use flash often in modes. What would you do then, when you get blinded using a patriot mask and suddenly killed? :P

I mainly Recon, AF Goggles, Cyclops and mainly a 1 slot pack. If I'm in a dire pinch, I'll use a Utility Pack for more flexibility. 400gp more than an Advanced per day (1st Lt) and usually can pack a spare nade.

22% Speed overall makes a lethal combo, if you know maps well you can zoom around the map. I prefer a patriot IMO really, but flash-protection has been a main thing now. With all the lower ranks spamming flash on me, I've loved it when I get raged for "chams" after being flashed. :P
