I play Assault primarily and it is very frustrating. I've been using the smoke grenade launcher on my rail and smoke grenades by hand, which I use for cover when crossing open areas. Not everyone on my team takes advantage of the cover, which adds to the frustration, but it helps a little. I think the open maps, like the one with the hotel in the middle, are extremely advantageous to Recon. The rest of us trying to get to a building while crossing an open area with crouch restrictions is more than difficult. It's nearly impossible at times. I just hope that whoever is in charge of map & game mode rotations will take things like this into consideration. I still have a blast on the crouch server.
