Just a few suggestions

The other day I played a few games w/ Kebab and a few others and I reminded myself I had a few suggestions for PS. 
Not sure if these have already been suggested here but here's a shot at what I think would make excellent additions...

Merc:
Gas Mask refills. 
Maybe put at a machine at a spawn station that would allow you to refill your gas mask, or if time is of the essence then you can refill from your partner but then you'd be taking some of his oxygen as well. 

Spies:
I think spies would benefit from being able to cycle through different sticky cams, like two at a time or 3 at a time, you have to be careful with this though because too many enabled cams could make spies easily dominate a noob team of mercs. 

I have a few other ideas but they arent at the tip of my fingers yet, if I do remember them I'll post them

Maybe add a new gadget that is a camera but doesn't shoot gas and is alot smaller than the sticky cam. Have 3 or however many, and they can all be deployed and cycled through at one time, so the spy could keep track of the mercs as hes moving around the level. The merc would still be able to spot them, but they wouldn't make a noise when you move them around.

I think it could be balanced since it doesn't shoot gas.

I've suggested the network cams may times and a lot of people here seem to say that it would be a waste or overpowered.  Which is kind of weird because a waste is the opposite of overpowered.  So, people think either way about this.  I like the idea of being able to refill your gasmask from your teammate, but no machine at the spawn.  Infinite gasmask would render sticky cams pretty useless.

how does that work? As soon as you hear the sticky cam activated can you switch to your mask and save yourself or what?

pretty much what iu'm saying but with Cams

Well, I've deleloped a reflex for switching on gas mask.  As soon as I hear it i put it on, plain and simple.  I usually flip on EMF before I enter an area which are prone to sticky cams.  The only times I get cammed are when I sometimes am quick cammed or I am out of gas mask fuel.  So, with infinite gas mask fuel, a lot of players will be hard to bring down.

I like this idea. It could refill quite slowly so spies had a chance to react.

Guys... Gas masks doesn't use fuel or oxygen tanks, they use filters. Filters get worn down and have to be replaced. Sure, gameplay>realism, but it was annoying me :-X

So let the mercs change filters. A 5 second animation should work.

This is true, except for the fact that in CT it does run on fuel.

110-120% mask capacity could be good for balance, but it depends on a lot of other factors like sticky cam audibility range etc
