Does anyone else have a problem with squads of men kitted out for urban and jungle warfare wearing bright yellow bumble bee suits? In what future would a designer forgo camo style suits for bright yellow. from a tactical standpoint. its just ******ed and in regard to the fact that they are like a police force and should easily be identifiable. Who looks official and professional in yellow?

I know colour palates today are dull and gritty Gears of War, Killzone, Resistance are all browns and grays, but come on yellow!

It just seems a bit too daft to me, even the names for the Factions and the Nectar Drug seem daft. Who is responsible for thinking "Nectar? - relates to bees, bees are yellow and black. lets make the suits yellow and black. oh thats cool"

Come on. lest get a little more realism here. in what future, other than a daft one would this stuff actually happen

They're arrogant because of Nectar, remember? Who needs camouflage when you're a god on the battlefield?

Here's what neko said:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Some people have said that if you're a soldier and you're going into battle you don't want this bright yellow thing on your head, because it doesn't exactly disguise you very much. But the whole point about Mantel, is that with all the technical support they've got, and with Nectar: they've got this tremendous amount of arrogance about their ability to wage war. They go into battle believing that they're going to win. They don't need protection because they have the best weapons and they have Nectar to help them. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
