Sweet!

That's good to hear.  Usually developers are smart enough to tie good stats to good looking armor.  But this way, your garunteed a personal flavor and whatever kinds of stats you want.

Hmm, so no body armor that

Hmm, so no body armor that matters, that's semi-depressing, hope they change that if there's a sequel. By that I mean, if you find a metallic chest piece that is resistant to bullet fire, it will make your character look diferent, and they're saying armor won't be like that, that's not what I wanted to hear.

I don't think it matters whether or not there's visible armor. It's an FPS.You'll hardly see it anyway.

Is there...

Is there any armor that changes how you look?  Like, can you change the color of your armor?  I'd like to be a Red Roland.  Driving around in my Red Rolland.  lol
