So how bout my idea of a stealthy way to hack coms? It might prove useful, maybe even add the ability to easily locate proxy mines too as an added bonous. Again, it's a suit activation gadget not a weapon.

Apparently you never pressed the snipe button as spy. If you did, you'd know that they already have that ability through their binoculars :o.

I suppose you can tell how useful that feature is.

The only thing heartbeat sensor needs is your teammate can see the merc you've detected on his radar too.

Why is that? I strongly disagree.

Because that way only one of you on your team has to take it if you are a recon stealth kind of team where you both stay together.  One person can take it, scan the area ahead, and both of you can see him on your radar for however long he holds the hbs detector on the merc.

HA! I press that button all the time when I'm trying to cam. Rather than caming someone. I go into binoculars, thus usually resulting in me dying or both me and my partner. It's happened while trying to protect you many times.

You raise a good point, but to be honest, it's not well done and isn't very practicle. You can't really move with it either. With the suit activation, you can and as I said, you could make a case of easily detecting mines with it too. But only for a certain length of time just like camo.

I'm jsut trying to think of another suit activation thing cause I think it'd be a good idea to have another suit device. Like a screw attack or double jump or the ability to roll up in a ball and drop bombs. (that's a joke incase anyone is slow).

Dude, lets spies do Prince of Persia acrobatics as a suit module.

[frvge]

The Crysis suit for Spies?

[Farley4Fan]

O, that would be sick!  Imagine going into first person after a grab, or even a face to face neck grab *drools*

I was just kidding by the way but it would be cool.

aah good, old vertigo.

the merc's hack ability with the sniper scope is also kinda redundant as i can't imagine a situation where i wouldn't take the opportunity to kill the spy instantly. hopefully it gets removed totally as it uncovers spies in the dark like the laser (laser and flashlight should be usable with sniping though).

the mechanics oof the ct sniper from what i remember was very mechanical and not totally fluid . it had fluidity i agree because ppl like mr . mic and macbryce could snap the pins to the spy in no time .

but the thing is you had very little awareness of anything besides the scope objective FOV . in my opinion the snipe button should take the usual time it would to put the weapon in the right place and for you to get a center on your sights . but adding an in-between , where you can let go of sniping for a second and look around , all the while with your gun obstructing some view , but giving a clearer picture of who and what's where . then if you havent waited until the sniper position reset you can zoom in again more quickly because fo the positioning of the rifle .

also strafing movements should make the weapon and scope sights sway a bit , been seeing alot of that in FPS games , the best ones actually like COD 4 and (not a game) insurgency mod .

COD4 has a lot that most FPS should learn from.  It has really set the standard and I think that our merc and gameplay could benefit from what COD4 has shown.

Most of the time sniping is a half-a-second thing... adding some time for the "zooming" would realy weaken it... anyways I'm pretty sure that a highly trainned professional with his gun at the rdy would that more and a instant to get his scope up and centered

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Yeah, remember Mr.Mic's videos?

[AgentX_003]

sorta off topic but you all got discussing about binoculars, and i think the one use I've found for that particular device is scoping ahead for mines in thermal , when being far away.

[Frelli]

Once again I have to be boring and say that HBS is perfect as it is. T obe honest, I don't think all these equipment threads are necesarry. The gadgets are good as they are.

Btw, HBS (and cams) is the gadget I NEVER take away from my set-up. So used to it, that I just can't play without it. It's an excellent gadget.

Well, I think sniping could afford a little blow to it. I think it's slightly overpowered as it is now. It doesn't need anything major, but just like a little extra delay to go to snipe mode, or possibly some slight chaos added to the position of your crosshair when entering snipe mode.
