You'd think that the company that develops nanosuits would be able to equip their infantry with better armor and helmets when sent against their own technological marvels.

Anyone feel remotely sorry for the poor meat bags that have to duke it out against a nanosuit as mere flesh and bone?

except for the one that hits our protagonist with his gun, then yes, I do feel sorry for, them, but I doubt Crynet feels like making 1000 million-dollar suits for every one of them

I am sure Crynet Industries does have suits for some of their elite operators but to equip an army with Nanonsuits would be cost prohibitive. A few yes - an army no.
In the original CRYSIS the Nanonsuits were for a select Delta Force strike team. The NKs used cheap knock offs for their elite troops too.

I'd never expect standard infantry to get fancy nanosuits or anything exotic. However, you would expect Crynet soldiers to be geared with riot shields, optional thick ceramic ballistic armor, smoke grenades, flash bangs, thermal vision... basically other equipment to help them have a fighting chance against the nanosuit. Then again, the nanosuit 2 does counter a lot of the items mentioned one way or another...

Maybe I should rephrase my original question. Would you want to be the meat bag going against a nanosuit?

I don't think anybody would ever opt to be that silly meat bag who gets to have a very expensive death :p

Makes you wonder how Crynet persuades its employees to commit suicide against its own products of war.

remind me to skip infantry and go straight to elite force...

well, lets play the game on Delta when it comes out and see just how screwed they really are
