I haven't fully tested this yet but can anyone check if LOS has an effect on breaking cover?
Would cover break if a rifle guy/gal is hiding in a trenches or behind a rock that prevents LOS and something comes with in 20 meters?
I've had random instances where stuff has walked with in 13 meters of me and cover hasn't broken.

LOS does have an affect on aggro distance. If they can not possiblely see you they no longer aggro. So I would hope that if you concealshotted - crawled into a trench to break LOS and then move fast in the trench you should be able to avoid aggro. Of course this is a very special case (how often do you have truely LOS breaking objects near where you are covered (as you need LOS to your target as well)

dunno but i've had stuff (er rather people in pvp) get w/in about 3m and then i broke cover with a snipershot. no idea if it was just lag or waht but the guy who i snipered at 3m (before that 20m change) never saw me. didn't even realize i had db'd him. I was around a cover, and he was already getting attacked and in combat. Dunno if the combat thing and burstrunning has anything to do with it, but it might.

Oh I was thinking more of a tactical scouting situation where you'd be concealed in a trench near a well traveled route with out causing your conceal to break. IE: PvP battle...calling out hostiles as they go by.
