Suspense


I think the biggest thing that has me wound up is waiting for some kind of info on cloakers beyond that were going to have a lot of fun. I know their revamping cloaking (thank god) but that's about it. Since they were talking about having a deployable camera I'm guessing cloakers are going to get a lot of toys but I'd love to some more about them.
It appears that my nightly sacrifices to Lord Zotz have gone unrecognized. Maybe I need Vanu blood to get more cloaker info. Any Vanu want to oblige?

First Point: There has been a cloaker in EVERY game-play screenshot... duh.

Second: I really don't think the game play of the cloaker can evolve very much beyond the basics that it already is. You shall run around stabbing people in the back, shooting them in the back and causing general chaos in bases with high explosives and hacking abilities. I've given it some thought, but I can't think of anything else I might want to do as a cloaker.

Re: Suspense


Yeah cloakers fill 3 main spots.

Ninjas. The snipers natural predator, and general cause havoc around the base guy.

Saboteurs. Go inside bases and take out gens. Hopefully there are more targets for such people in PS2. Pretty much any 'service' not provided by players, such as OSs or scans, etc, should have a physical entity on the continent that can be destroyed to disrupt their use.

Recon. Relay troop movements to high command, or spot things for arty. I used to happily sit on top of a base antenna calling out gals leaving for people in my squad in reavers, or i'd roam the countryside in a wraith looking for AMSs and Lodestars. Spotting was kinda sucky though, with the laze being highly visible. The mission system should make this a much more profitable venture. In PS1 it was rather akin to charity work. Got nothing for it except the warm fuzzies.

If you use the darklight plugin in photoshop it makes them visible.

Re: Suspense


Well I guess I need to download it because I'm cloaker starved. I want to see their cloaking in action at the least. I have a feeling though that cloakers are going to be evolving in their role a bit more. Specifically their infiltration tools have always been rather lacking (REK, EMP nade).
Just putting some more tools out there for us would do wonders for increasing our effectiveness.

If you see them in action, doesn't it mean they're doing it wrong?

Well it would be something to work on in a skill tree, progressively making yourself slightly less visible to the naked eye when moving, I could see that working, obviously never fully visible but it makes sense a more experienced cloaker might know more tips of the trade, so to speak.

I've always had the warm-fuzzies for cloakers, they're pretty darn unique and every time I play one it's a thrill. I do hope people do right by them in PS2.
