A Hackers wishful thinking

[Spy]

Does anyone know if the hacking system is going to be as in depth as, say Dues Ex? For those of you that havn't played Dues Ex, when you approach a terminal you can do a number of things, like unlocking doors, powering off lights, and powering off/controling turrets. I would looooove to be able to hack a terminal and swich all the turrets in a facility against the controlers of that facility I know the turret thing wont happen, its just too un balanced, but what do you guys think about the features of the hacking tool?

I would say Yes and no.

I believe you can hack doors/ turrets /lights etc but you have to do them from the source, eg. hack the door from the door, hack the lights from the generator room etc.

would still be a lotta fun.

I dont think lights can be hacked. Turrets perhaps can be hacked individually?

Not 100% sure on this.

Im sure Hamma just wants to up his count. I wish i had all the time to become a Whore...

Terminals are used to access them like you would in a friendly base. You can also reach your locker by hacking into enemy hackers. The doors and turrents have to be hacked individually. The lights...i really don't know but i think you should be able to hack the generator to turn them off. Vehicles, i belive that they should not change colors, i really dont believe that if i go steal and iraqi tank it will automatically change to a green camo. I think that you should be able to sneek around in the enemies tank and to some info gathering.

Just some thoughts

i'll be whore sooner or late.


if you were able to hack lights it really wouldn't matter. all guns have lights (i think all guns?).

aaaahhhhhhhhhh Deus Ex, the best game of all times..... Oh and yes, that seems to be a great idea, ESPECIALLY the turrets. Then the defender would get some places to defend on, which would be fun, doing everything to preventing the enemy from entering the generator room and hacking the generators.

Because you won't hit 5000 posts by only stating what you know.

And sadly the hacking system won't have any depth, it's a big nice fat bar going up or maybe *GASP* down, oh the excitement !!!

Doors can be hacked individually.
Lights can not be hacked.
Turrets can be hacked individually.
Terminals can be hacked individually.
Vehicles can be hacked individually, if you have the vehicle, or equivalent, cert.
Bases can be hacked in whole.

Get the idea? And I am sure on the Lights and Turrets if anyone asks.

Let's say you decide not to hack a turret and blow it up...when will it respawn?

When it is repaired, same as everything else that isn't fully destroyed.

[Fire_Monkey]

what kiwi said, but you can also hack their weapons and ammo, and no one is sure about lockers.

Omni, I see no reason why Joe Schmoe can't walk over and hack a Harasser, even if he dosen't have the cert. I remember somebody saying something about hacking it so teamates can drive it.

[Fire_Monkey]

you can hack it, you just can't drive it, same as you can pick up a weapon from an enemy, but you can only use it if you have the correct cert.

So you gain ownership of the vehicle, and tell your friend to take it after you set the driver's seat to all faction members allowed.

It works.
