non-lethal or neck breaking?

[Rexen_]

I`ve heard about breaking necks in MP when you got a merc from behind. But on the PT website, it says that Shadow-Net is strictly non-lethal.
Breaking necks sound kinda lethal to me.

But lets say that you can`t break necks, but only knock out. Will the knocked out person wake up by himself after som time, does he have to be waked by a teammate, or will he be out for the rest of the game?

And at last, the tasers shot by the spys; Will they knock out, just stun for a few seconds, or just mess with the electronics (like the chaff grenade)?

I think the tazers will temporarily stun a mercenary so the spy can e.g. sneak past him unnoticed.

You have to use non-lethal Weapons, but the only way to kill a mercinary is by sneaking up to them from behind and breaking their necks or falling from on top of them.

and the sticky shockers only stuns them for a little while, but you get a head shot with the shocker, it stuns them for a little longer than a body shot...and if you get killed or knocked out, you respawn at your starting area.

Respawn????? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/blink.gif

If it is so, how come all the game modes have "neutralize/kill all enemies" (that is for both spys and mercs.) as a victory condition?

I`ve also heard/seen "only one spy left". If they respawn, than there cant be a number of them left.

[halo_99]

yeah....respawn...

It's Like Halo, your out of the game for a short period of time, and then you respawn/restart at the spot you left off.

Why don`t you answer my question instead. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif

[halo_99]

nah it's not like that, you have to hack or implant something if your a spy, and stop them if your a merc.

This is straight from the new PT website:


-Spy-
"Victory: Neutralize the ND133K`s or eliminate all the mercenaries."

-Mercenary-
"Victory: Eradicate all the spies or protect the ND133K`s until the end of the game."

[matyus]

SO there will be a time limit for the spys actions . So they should move fast and quiet

[Dawg605]

Yes, there is a time limit on the multiplayer games. And yes, you can win by either completing the objective or killing all the mercs/spies.

Can anyone say for sure that there will NOT be any respawning?
(i really hope so. respawning removes the pain of dying.)

[Dawg605]

No, there won't be respawning.

Hey, Dawg, in the EGM with the PT cover, they say in their multiplayer review that the spies do respawn. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif

[rikakiah]

Regardless of what the factual outcome is in this debate, I am VERY much against respawns in this game. Yeah, it makes dying more bearable. That's the point! I can rush in and recon their defenses, die, come back and try again, having a very good idea of how they will respond to me...among other options permissible due to respawns. Throw in the fact that in real life I can't respawn when I die, and I think it would SERIOUSLY detract from the game. It's only 4 people, and with a time limit (at least usually, if not every game), so you're not gonna be sitting out for TOO long even if you die early in the game.

[Bang_youre_dead]

What happens is that the merc do respawn but if both of them are dead at the same time you win.

Now you see me....
Now you're dead.....
