affirmative. i was so impressed that i forgot to compliment you on this great work ;)

[frvge]

It reminds me of the Agent Smith masks :) Nice job.

Ummm, wouldn't two merc that look exactly the same look really strange?  You get attacked by 2 twin mercs, weird.  In CT they looked the same but they had most of  their faces covered up so you wouldn't even notice.  Seeing 2 mercs with the exact same face would be kind of dumb imo.  I still would like to see a balaclava covering up the mouth atleast.  Maybe you could make the mug go a little higher up on the face?  Still it looks sweet, I still think you should make 2 mercs with different faces.

[Westfall]

those are the most angry facial expressions. really doesn't tolerate anything. Nicely done. Next time give the poor man his cheetos so he doesn't look so pissed.

Really nice tho...

ZOMG PWND!!!!! awsome work kebab it looks gritty and mean, you can tell hes pissed off about spies sneaking into the abandoned hospital!  :o

[frvge]

AgentX had this idea:
what if the visor breaks (because of en elbow or whatever) and it shows the face afterwards?

edit:
nvm wouldnt work... no visions then. And if there are visions, it's impossible for Spies to tell in which vision the Merc is.

[AgentX_003]

k the idea i gave to Frvge was that , ok this is sorta taking a page out predator but who cares.. ubi took those elements anyway and made what we know as splintercell , For Example , in predator 2 , if the pred lost his Mask he wouldnt have his visions but then once he got his mask back, he could use his cloaking /visions. but at the same time , without his mask He would have to use his own eyes  to get the mask.

That could work. If I'm correct, back then when SCPT was released, there was a Penny Arcade comic strip covering the PT multiplayer mode. So, there were two mercs and two spies. Further then a spy hit a merc on the helmet with his elbow, and the visor broke. Later the merc's partner told him to go to the storage area.
And you guys could do the same thing. Merc gets an elbow to the head, visor breaks, no visions/tracking systems working = get a new one in a storage area (like the one for ammo).

[goodkebab]

ask yourself this:  how often does a merc get punched in a game

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

When i play spy it's like 5-6. I suck at grabbing.

[Overstatement]

I wouldn't mind if it didn't affect gameplay so much. Like if the visor only cracks or breaks but the visions still work in parts where it isn't broken (people move their view so much that missing as much as 25% of the screen vision is not game breaking). But I don't like how much this idea encourages grenading and running aggro since MT is the main counter to it.

[Gawain]

the idea is nice for the ingame feeling, but sux for gameplay.

[Wanted_David]

Ok ok. So, what if the visor just stop working for a really short period of time (just as like as when the merc gets an headshot from the spy gun)?
Oh, and why not making the helmet viewable in the first person POV? Like in Haze...

[Farley4Fan]

Say there is a chunk of his faceplate broken, and on that chunk the vision doesn't work.  Where there is a piece of faceplate broken off there is no vision, just regular plain eye vision.  It still works, but just not in the part that was broken off, make sense?  Or there is just a big crack on the middle of your screen until you get a new one.  You could always go back to the armory and grab a new facemask, but you don't have to if you don't have the chance.  It would effect gameplay, but since the facemask visions still work it wouldn't effect it that much.
