New Function

Post » Wed Dec 03, 2008 9:04 pm

So, i love the nanosuit and have no problems with it, but apparently insead of having strength and speed as settings, they are always on. So we now have two spare slots, what could these be? So we have cloak, armour and maybe.... eagle vision type thing, climb thing, a time slowy thing like off fear or maybe an emp bomb thing that disrupts the alien tech?

The new slot is called tactical mode.
Not entirely sure what it does but as far as I know it gives you a reading of how far away an object or enemy is and tells you their weapon.

How about Gecko mode where you can climb walls and hang out on ceilings above a door and when some walks in through the door you drop down with your knife and cut their throat, rinse and repeat!

Yes, A tactical mode, and an infiltration mode or something.

Goes along with the cloak :P

Make you completely silent, and so on.

What is this nonsense about strength and speed being always on?
Strength and speed has been joined together as a single mode called power mode. So we have only one spare slot.

Tactical mode is the only new mode. Tactical mode gives you a "tactical view" sort of the binoculars in Crysis but way more advanced. One of the things are, as mentioned by THe Matrix, is the possebillity to find out how a person died be entering tactical mode and looking at the body. If I don't remember wrong you can find out pices of there lives too by doing this.
You can also eavesdrop on conversations that is far away.

Infiltration mode is the new cloak mode. When you enter infiltration mode you will start to move quieter and more cautious. Infiltration mode is a passive mode. This means it doesn't draw energy. But while you are in infiltration mode you can turn on cloak. This will ofcourse draw energy.

And at last we have the good old armour mode :)

the main suit modes are Armor and Stealth and then on top of one of those u can have Power which is Strength and Speed in one OR Tactical mode which is pretty much a Binoc which has thermal vision and will show u all the points of interest around you.

This sounds neat and all, but I don't see how combining Speed and Strength will add new versatility, in fact it seems like it could do quite the opposite.

Being able to switch between speed and strength separately on the whim of things was part of what made the multi-player so fun, if you have no choice to speed jump, but always have to strength jump (which is a major energy eater) then that could be a bummer in my opinion.

But I digress, the game isn't out yet, things aren't clear, and stuff may end up all being for the better.

Apparently lots of stuff has changed since the two first screens:
http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?optio … p;Itemid=2


2 Nanosuit Modes:
*armor and stealth
*TAC is no longer in the HUD
*POWER seems to be removed
http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/p … _modes.jpg

Armor Mode
*makes stronger (used to kick taxis)
*either traditional armor (sinks on damage) or time temporary invincibility.

http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/p … r_mode.jpg

Stealth Mode
*is active cloak
*might include stealthy animations (reloading...)
*has silent kills (knife stabbing...)
http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/p … h_mode.jpg

Tactical Mode/Binoculars
*can't use weapon while in tactics mode
*similar to Binoculars, highlighting enemies is possible
*supports heat sight

It is correct that there is only two modes with weapon and one without.
Power mode is not removed. But power mode is used with either armour or stealth mode. So the modes you have are these:
Armour
Stealth
Tactical
Armou + Power
Stealth + Power
Perhaps there is one like this too: Tactical + Power But I don't see the use in that so I guess it doesn't exist.

Have to correct a little, I think it is like this:
Armour
Stealth
Armour + Power
Armour + Tactical
Stealth + Power
Stealth + Tactical

I had a magazine at home with an interview of Camarillo (Was that his name?) where he told about these modes. Where some nice pictures to show it more clearly too but I can't seem to find that magazine.. -.-"

Thanks to IRON-MAN2910 for reminding me of this :)
