hmm,yes...the pistol only rule for the I.S. seems preety balanced
Yea, if the I.S could carry rifles then they would be unstoppable (imagine cloaked snipers

)

1 question:When someone wearing a I.S moves , does a faint outline appear?

All I've got to say is WTF?!?! What is the point of even having a silenced weapon if you can't even use it with I.S.? Sure, you could just use the regular armor, but whats the fun of that? I don't really understand this

Ok,think oif this, an invisible armor guy, nades a group of soliders then opens up with the suppressor from behind. There goes 20+ gyuys easily. They ahve no idea where to shoot at all.

Yea Muffman , Sputty's right,think about it!
A I.S could kill 1 guy,or 2-3 if they're not lookin' but not a whole squad!
Well , maybe if the squad if heavily wounded and he throws a grenade at them...

Infiltraotrs are recon troops, not for combat.

It's similar to this.

Sputty · 2003-01-18, 03:15 PM

It's a ripple-like effect.

I doubt i'll be using it that much, the way things are going i'm gonna be in a vehicle 80% of the time.

So Dio... that means I get a ride wherever the hell I want?

Why would a guy in an I.S. need a silenced weapon? If there are many guys in the base or something, killing someone in there through any means will alert them. And once they're alerted, you're in trouble. Honestly, I think the Surpressor has limited value as a sort of sneaky weapon. I could see it being use for a base rush, where people move very quickly and use Surpressors to make sure they catch people off-guard, but even that would be a rare scenario. Killing people while being stealthy seems to me like an oxymoron in PS.

Especiallyu since it says 'someone' killed 'someone' so you 'll know someone on your side died.
