Cloak shot?

[PlasticGEAR]

When you have an INF Suit Armor on and your cloaked, when you fire and you be all seen, partially seen, or still invisible? All seen would be annoying and wouldnt make much sense. partially seen is probably what it is, but i want to see if im right. Anyone?

[Mikedanad]

probably the more shots you take the more visible you are, about 5 shots and eeryone can see you...stop shooting and poof back to inviso-land again, just think like t2 with cloak pack

[WFDragon]

Just to remind everyone, the Infiltration suit apparently doesn't have any rifle slots. So, you're not gonna be doing an incredible amount of shooting while in it. If you can use a knife with the suit, it would seem likely that some people will play ninja-like characters, sneaking into places and assassinating key guards or officials, turning the enemy ranks into chaos. Heh.

[Hamma]

Pretty sure you become completly visible when firing.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Pretty sure on this one too.

[Subliminal]

yes IMHO I think its crappy as hell that the infiltration stuis have no rifle slot. Dont get me wrong the devs know what they are doing balence wise but imagin for a second carying a bolt and walking a few feet away from the guard and BAM. Bang him with the bolt and quickly switch to the knife and finish the job so the speak. Then again I heard that the knife can perform 1 hit kills in the secondary form but it would make alot of noise in that form. Now is it true or not that if your cloaked you can cloak your quad too. If you can you could sllloooowly inch up to someone then when your close enough that they cant do anything THUMP they are a pancake

Destroyeron stop being so negative, I've seen you on about 3 other post dissing the game, if you're going to be negative, add something constructive.

I thought of another question. Say your cloaked and completely hidden what happens if a stray bullet hits you? Do you immediatly show up or maybe just flicker a bit

[Fire_Monkey]

infl, suit specs are rare as of now, i don't know, only Hamma would know and it's subject to change in Beta.

I am pretty sure there is no definite answer, but we do become unstealthed when we get hit, and that is a definite.

On the note of infiltration suits being "underpowered", I actually think the reverse. I am pretty sure they will be overpowered at the initial release, so don't worry too much.

[PlasticGEAR]

is the SMG considered a rifle or not? because i wouldnt call it a rifile. or can you only have pistols and knife, and equipment?

[Fire_Monkey]

Th gun is the supressor, its classification is SMG, and I'm 99% sure infl. suits can't use the supressor.

[SandTrout]

Suppressor only fits in a rifle slot, so no silenced guns with infil suit. I think they should at least get a silenced pistol, like the Berreta 92 F in Firearms. Crappy gun all around, but small and quiet.

[PlasticGEAR]

the amp i think is silenced but it looks so frikin weak.

[Zatrais]

Inf's should be able to use the AMP, upclose and personal it should kill people who just respawned fast for instance. f you're TR you can use the repeater, it should be good considering it has a full auto mode, NC shotty handgun should be nice aswell. Won't comment on the Beamer, not sure on it. But the real fun whit infs is: place a boomer, stand still in a corner and have some fun blowing people up as they get round the corner... hack a terminal and resupply yourself, change armor into a MAX if you'd like etc.....

edit: don't stand in the same corner as the boomer =P

[TheGreatCarbini]

Hahaha I wonder if you can cloak while in the drivers seat.

"OMG THAT BUGGY IS DRIVING ITSELF! SURELY ITS POSSESED! RUN MY TR PANSY BROTHERS!"

They will only be overpowered until people become careful enough, and then they will be equally balanced with everything else (most likely). Anyone remember AvP? Sorry to bring up another game, but it had the exact same thing for the Pred and it only works until people get careful enough (and not at all against the Alien), with the exception of shadow and distance.

[PlasticGEAR]

oh great, my idea, is now going to be used by other people. rats rats rats. maybe i shouldnt be writing this because probably more people with see it. so i erased my thing i created and everyone will steal, and say it was their idea. grumble.

Can I have a dev quote?

All I know is that if you move/shoot you become unstealthed, but I'm pretty sure you don't become completely unstealthed after one or two shots. *shrug*

[Airlift]

Cheer up, plastic. Ideas are worthless, it is execution that counts.

I am not positive where I heard it, just that I did, most likely the latest dev shoutcast.

[balab]

any words on how fast you re-acquire stealth, once you've been exposed?

[KabuX]

what about other functions?

Can you heal/repair and still remain stealthed?

no no no, you are cloaked when you move it says so in the description, its how fast you move is depending how seen you are.

[Flashingfish]

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough - yes that's true it does depend on how fast you move.

[Incompetent]

My understanding is that while healing/repairing, you will be about as visible as while walking

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Pretty sure in the shoutcast it said you become partially revealed when healing/repairing, so it may be as visible as when running.

[PlasticGEAR]

my best guess would be as much as walking because your not going to be moving as fast as when yer running, you'll be just like moving your arms, wouldnt it...

Well you stay perfectly stealthed while walking, and when you run you become partially visible, hence, I would guess it would be the same as when you running ;)
