And what happens when said player starts cussing out their outfit, yelling at their friends, and spamming chat, TKing, getting grief.

People already do this stuff when its their ass on the line, imagine doing it when it's someone else's ass on the line.

When's the last time you believed the "that was my brother" excuse?

Well how about hacking actual soldiers?

No.

I'm sorry, this is the dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard for Planetside. Agent Smith Matrix bullshit. I can't even think of a suitable alternative or work-around. No redeeming value, nothing to even consider salvaging.

Just... No.

pretty damn stupid to be honest. It doesn't even make sense in context of the game? I mean some sort of neural interface tool? whaat? next thing you know players will be getting sex changes! then PS2 is doomed.

It sounds like a loooooooooong way to go just to kill someone. I mean you go through all the trouble to hack the person, like a sniper on a hill all by themselves, just so they can get killed by someone on their team?

Now, if you hack the soldier, then you get to go run around as them for a limited amount of time then at the end of that time you blow up jihad-style, then maybe, maybe I could see something like that as an update down the line, but the whole thing sounds a little silly.

Hacking usually means uploading a Virus in a system.
Now, if i upload a virus in a person, i wont be able to control them. They would just get diarrhea.

Yes, there are some major balance issues in question here... Imagine if an entire defense force was sitting on the john.. attackers could just walk right in and cap...
