iare putting my moneh at Borreh's idea, bizzare n' glowing red arrow strings ^^

I think they're just using it because the Hunger Games movie made bows a little more popular again.

They should pair it with a flaming armor to go along with it :P

The only thing I have to say is...Why the bow? O_o

Well, you seriously need to this ask question? I can tell you....If the Crysis 3 rumors are true and it's set inside of a jungle again then a bow would be more useful for a silent take down.

.. it will not be set inside a jungle, even the promo art shows a city in the background.

On a side note, why would a bow be a better silent weapon in a jungle instead of a silenced gun? If so, is silenced gun a better weapon in a city?..

Because silencers' function is to protect your ear, not to actually silence your weapon.

Live tests by independent reviewers of numerous commercially available suppressors find that even low caliber unsuppressed .22 LR handguns produce gunshots over 160 decibels. In testing, most of the suppressors reduced the volume to between 130 and 145 dB, with the quietest suppressors metering at 117 dB. The actual suppression of sound ranged from 14.3 to 43 dB, with most data points around the 30 dB mark.

I think it's pointless to compare the stealthiness. No matter the weapon, unless it instantly kills with one hit, the enemy is going to be alerted and know where to search the moment shooting starts.

That is a wee bit strange. Maybe its just me, but a lot of FPS games (and perhaps movies?) used suppressed guns/rifles when they're off to a sneaky/stealth mission. That means no loud noises when they attack? Then again Snipers shoot at a long distance, I can't say the same thing at guns at close combats though.

if the Nanosuit is so powerful, and if's so much of it's body is not only powerful, but fast- than why not give him a bunch of spears already?

Spears are way too long to lug around compared to Arrows imo. Then there's the quantity, even if you have a fancy suit to handle the weight, you might compromise other things like your visibility and agility. Yeah the suit will will again 'take care of it,' but you still have that unnecessary negative penalty that you'd still be lugging around.

Hey since we're still in the subject of Arrows, what are the odds that he'll get Trick Arrows like Green Arrow have?

[Kyang]

Omg.




Lol, Harrrr, break it down please.

Oh the cry engine sdk finally got dx11?

Snipers are the only viable noiseless weapons. If you shoot at a sufficient range then you're good. But there once was a group, I don't remember its name, it was advocating for more realism in movies and this was one of their top concerns. Bunch of crazy people if you ask me but their science was solid. Guns make a lot of noise and no silencer can fix that. Yet.
