Merc -finished!!

[Westfall]

I was going to say something almost exactly like Gawain did.  Maybe for an even quicker animation it would be a strapless gasmask.  Of course this wouldn't be realistic but it would be a quicker on and off mask.

If it was a strapless gasmask, are you suggesting it would have fuckin suction cups on it to hold it on your face? Or would you hold it with one hand and use the other hand to hold the gun? Not plausible
for it to be strapless.

I still think the game should be more interactive. Why can't the gasmask maybe get ripped off the mercs face? Why not allow the spy to even rip the guns out of the mercs hands? (of course there would have to be some sort of fingerprint identification that allowed only that merc to use that specific gun) Making the game as realistic as possible with universal-interaction would be a sweet sight. Especially if it is using the new unreal engine.

What if even a spy could steal a mine and use it against a merc? (why don't proxy mines go off when a merc comes near it????? It is a proximity mine after all). Am I thinking too realistic now?

Good lord.  I am sure a lot of people have said this and I will say it again.  THIS GAME ISN'T REALISTIC!  HOLY SHIT!  That would be cool to have an interactive game like that but Project Stealth isn't the one, it is going to be a copy of the CT gameplay and feature some new things as well.  And yes, a strapless gasmask would work.  By this I mean it fits to the merc's mask or helmet and it locks itself into place.  All the merc would have to do is push it onto his face and it is on.  Maybe it has a mouth holder where he bites onto it and his mouth holds it in place while he breathes through his nose.  There are multiple ways, it is plausible.

Please people, come in here with an open mind, this isn't realism it is Splinter Cell Versus mode.

I have to disagree with you, yes, Versus is unrealastic, but it doesnt mean don't put in realistic features. For example, we did it so that a spy doesnt immidiatly start moving when pressing forward, but slowly throttles up to full speed. Also when standign still and truning 180 degrees, the spy irst rotates and then starts moving.

Same goes for making changes between states as realistic as possible, like falling from high in crouched mode will make the pawn stand up right while in the air, and goes back to grouch mode when back on the ground (After recovered from the fall)... SO we do think about the realistic factors.

[Spekkio]

Just imagine that in the year 2010 or whenever the game takes place, they have invented strapless gasmasks for quick application. Maybe it automatically fuses with the helmet or something.

EDIT: Westfall's ideas could be merged into various kill animations for when you grab a merc.

[DrKennethNoisewater]

or lasers... the strap of the future.

[Daybreak]

LOL. You can't use lasers. GOD! You're a Doctor not a scientist!

[Bionic-Blob]

yes, lets suspend thing in air with beams of light

[Gui Brazil]

what about something like those jet fighter's masks?



EDIT: I only mean the part that goes around your mouth and nose.

[Farley4Fan]

OHH, that would be cool if he had a little tube that connects to a little air tank on his back or something.  What if a spy was able to disconnect that tube from the airtank?

But if everyone wants it "REALISTIC" then a merc wouldn't have a air tank, he would just have a gas mask that vents the air like he does in CT. ::)

I am all for a little realism, but if there has to be a magical flying pink unicorn named charlie that flies in and knocks mercs off of rails in sake of balance, then I am all for a little unrealistic aspects.  ;D

[Westfall]

get around the merc.....it isn't impossible. Takes just a little more brain power. I don't think balance will ever be fixed on any scale. Someone will always find something to do in order to preserve a victory. You have to out think them.
