Infiltration (and sniper) Ideas

[BadAsh]

I would really like to see a few things reworked with the infiltration suit.

1. I�d seriously consider letting them have 2 pistol slots. I don�t see this as being overly powerful and it would make it more convenient for the Infiltrator to switch from the pistol weapon to a REK tool or a grenade as needed. You still have VERY limited inventory space and still won�t have a rifle slot available. However, this will reduce the perpetual inventory to pistol holster swapping that must be done now. I don�t see this as a power increase. I see it as an alleviation of an annoyance in suit design.

2. I Lattice Link Benefit changes made with that last patch are a bit much IMHO. The LL Radar now allows for Spitfire turrets and Motion detectors to be able to detect you even if you are crouch walking and or using the silent run implant. An infiltrator can�t carry enough firepower to clear a few turrets or motion sensors. So these are now impassible barriers of death for any infiltrator. Couple this with any and all (including crouch walking and silent running) movement now showing on the enemies mini-map and base infiltration is nearly impossible. The strength of an Infiltrator is to trick the enemy to not knowing you are there. This is simply not possible now if they have a Lattice Link Base.

3. This is not really an infiltration change, but an idea for a new type of suit. I�d like to see a special �sniper� camouflage suit that would have 2 pistol slots and 1 specialized sniper rifle slot, and Agile armor inventory space. This suit would have a partial cloaking ability where you are completely visible when moving and have a �ghost� image (like that of a moving infiltrator) when completely stationary. Real world snipers are masters of camouflage and I think that would be a nice touch to the game. After all most snipers are stationary and unable to easily watch their back while focusing on a target. This would help make them blend in a little better and not be such Reaver bait that they are now are. Finally, this suit should be bundled with the Infiltration suit certification.
