Though I agree that the goggles of the spy do look a little "lame", I don't think that wasting time on modifying something that is already completed is necessary.

Actual NV goggles are not trinocular and rarely are they binocular most are monocular so yes, the trinocular goggles adopted by Ubi to represent Splinter Cell should be avoided... At least do your research before you try to say how it SHOULD look.

Oh and the trinocular design was for 3 visions modes used in single player: NV, EMF and Infra

When Splinter Cell was originally made the technology to create a single receptor for all 3 modes didn't exist and they went with 3 lenses for the sake of some realism.

There was some thread about this ages ago on Ubi.

Ubi is actively using the 3-lensed goggles in marketing and they are known for it. Image-trademark is possible.
They _most likely_ don't have a copyright on the goggles, but that's no reason to make them angry.

FYI: the splinter cell logo is just the formatted text.

I like the current look of spy's head even more than the one from SC. All who think that it should be changed (especially the ones who are here for less than month) only show disrespect to Kebab's hard work and frankly, they should be castrated and hung upside down with a stick in their ass.

I mean the 3 dots on one eye.  That would look best Imo, but I don't have any complaints about the current spy model.

And most people on that thread were wrong.

Real NV goggles, the good ones, are tri-nocular. They have two oculars for the eyes, and a 3rd, smaller piece that shoots out an infra-red beam.

SO WHY THE F*CK WE HAVE THESE SHITTY ONES?

Edit: my statement that most are monocular was inaccurate in that I mean they use a single objective lens, monocular was the wrong term.

Perhaps the thread may have contained misinformation, it was so long ago I can't remember if anyone from Ubi actually posted in it or not.

Your statement about "good" NV goggles... About as far from the truth as possible.

The type you are talking about are the first generation goggles and by no means anywhere near the quality of the current 4th gen goggles. The technology is quite a bit different and no one in any hostile situation would use an infrared projection unit like the first gen goggles used because it's visible to anyone else using NV goggles giving away your position as readily as a flashlight would. Most 4th gen have the ability to project an infrared beam but it is a very very tiny lens that does not stick out from the headset at all and is only noticeable upon close inspection.

Aside from monocular NV devices which are usually scopes or hand-held they are ALL binocular and none are trinocular, that 3rd lens you see on old WW2 goggles is an objective lens and not an ocular lens, it is what gathers the photons from the upper infrared and lower visible spectrums. In modern NV devices it is the only pickup required and rather than just gathering photons it takes photons and converts them to electrons multiplying them and then back to photons again. Unless the goggles perform additional functions they will have only one pickup on them as nothing more than that is needed. It does still project a stereo image into the goggles ocular viewers (Because of this they are considered binocular regardless of whether or not it uses 1 or 2 objective lenses). Some now use two of these tubes, one in front of each eye so as to produce slightly better depth perception and true stereo vision for people such as helicopter pilots.

Dont worry guys....if PS gets enough support once we release a version for everyone to play...I want to add new skins.  But for now, we have to continue with the rest of the project.

OMG, Kebab, you are awesome. Unlike some others on this forum who get mad when they aren't even being directed to, I personally attacked your image of the spy *sorry if offended, didn't mean to  :-** and you are still working to make project stealth better in my view. :D

Stfu agent.  He was talking about this thread.  Comprehend before you bust a nut on someone.  He was saying that people were getting too defensive about the model of the spy when it wasn't even said towards them, and to an extent I agree with him.  Keep this flamewar elsewhere, ffs.

Wow, you deleted your post to make me look like a idiot.  Good try -hair protector in the shower-.  Grow up...

Lol, nice edit.  :D

Sorry but he really got on my nerves by doing such a stupid thing.
