ArmA3 at least is set to "near future", on fictional island nation, that's adapted tons of now existing prototype gear and -ideas into realdeal combat gear. Nothing too fancy, no lasors and robots, but more organic and lightweight designs with lots of integrated tech.

Any opinions as to technology set even further into the future? Shit like reactive body-armor, exoskeletons, artificial muscle and shit like that?

Maybe GR1. GRAW was a Future weapons with Mack circlejerk and from then on it was apex bullshit.

>>31347914

and GRAW2 was around the time when the XM8 was shilled heavily

goes into MGS' side then.
While the series has tons of crazy bullshit, it also has tons of practical ideas and things based on real prototype stuff.

>>31347914
arent things like that something you'd see special forces using in about 10-20 years tho?

GRFS only future thing it had was the cloaks,

The shoulder rockets never made it in the game

>>31347991
I don't remember this shit in the game at all

>>31347991
why wouldn't it have a fully integrated armor system for the chest, legs and head then? It's kind of dumb that it leaves the front exposed.

>>31347871
Ive said it before, but I really don't think they committed to the future setting enough. CSAT ammobearers should have had an exoskeleton(its exactly the sort of thing CSAT would field), NATO should have had some sort of UGV of their own and there should have been a hell of a lot more Airburst weapons. Vipers should have had an chink OICW rather than the thing they ended up with too.

>>31348008
They only briefly appeared during the vehicle escape scene with Drebin.

>>31348010
because it's just a suit, that you're meant to be able to get in and out with ease. Your personal armor already provides sufficient protection.

>>31348008
They appeared very briefly at the end of Act 2. Then were never seen again, because post MGS4 cyborg tech shits all over everything.

>>31348023
>sufficient protection
any rocket or exploding projectile would shred the wearer

so they would the suit in that case.
it's not a tank replacement, merely a heavy load carrying tool with light armor capable of taking enough small-arms fire to make it usable on the battlefield.

>>31348055
why not extend that light armor to the front then too? it works on the legs and head. Fully armoring it to take any kind of heavy weapons fire or exploding projectiles seems like something that should be a prerogative, especially being that vulnerable.

>>31347953
So it's fair for Snake and he can still kill it with small caliber weapons duh.

probably introduces weight issues, and difficulty of getting in and out of the thing.

Seriously speaking, you're not expected to survive a belt of .50 BMG in such device anyway. Might just as well use a vehicle or full mech at that point.

it's already halfway to a mech and to get out of it you have to slowly pull your legs and arms out of it anyways. Might as well just go all out with frontal armor.

I would say this OP. Metal Gear Acid had a lot of unexpected cool shit in it, on top of being really fun.

This is more or less how Kojima thought the Land Warrior System would look.

probably lighter weight plates, and more junk being carried on the field

>>31348127
One thing seemingly universal in MGS concept art is that everyone has tiny feet. Noticed it in the PW artbook and now see it everywhere.

>>31348122
It's a /tg/ thing. Character used their [spoiler]magic[/spoiler]ENLIGHTENED SCIENCE through the lens of "I'm a fucking badass operator".

I can see it working for tank crews and people who are not infantry, but the idea of attaching more shit to your heads sounds uncomfortable.

but who knows, it might be like google glass but not shit and wirelessly integrated with the ballistic glasses.

>>31348216
if it means your head not getting popped why not?

>>31348017
>Vipers should have had an chink OICW rather than the thing they ended up with too.
The type 115 doesn't make much sense desu. An assault rifle with a .50 cal on top ? Bullshit.

And the chinks cyber ninjas are a little over the top, especially their helmets. It looks like something out of Crysis.

The bluefor gear looks stale in comparison. Mostly existing stuff but the caseless weapons.

A real futuristic setup should feature programmable airburst weapons as anon said, deported fire so you can shoot while behind cover, maybe some basic exosqueletons (35 years from now is a long time after all), augmented reality headgear, etc.

>>31348232
Because headshots are rare as fuck, the more pertinent concern is blunt trauma and you don't need a heavy helmet to protect from that.

>>31348250
The .50 cal underbarrel thing is a bit goofy. They really kind of goofed the idea of night combat in Apex. As good as the Viper anti-thermal setups are they have no protection. Bohemia could have easily bukkaked us with cool futuristic stuff before moving onto the next ARMA.

>>31348269
Sure they're statistically rare but your brain is kind of a big deal to protect. Any sort of trauma would turn someone into a vegetable, especially projectile trauma.

weight and less bulky shit to hump around.
all around pains in the ass.

3m came out with 3a helmet weighing at 1.3oz
I can see lvl 3 helmets coming into the market that aren't "please God strike me down now" tier but still managing to be a pain in the ass.

>>31348300
if you have some sort of neck support or overall balance support (exoskeleton or something) it wouldn't really be a problem though

>>31348271
I guess stuff like airburst is "not tactical enough" (read not fun enough).

>>31348250
>And the chinks cyber ninjas are a little over the top, especially their helmets. It looks like something out of Crysis.
I thought it was neat. For all the talk of CSAT being oh-so technologically advanced, the thermally-masked wetsuits with predator vision were the first time they had something that really reflected that, air conditioned BDUs notwithstanding.

>>31348311
there's nothing fun about ARMA unless you fully sperg out in it or play with mods that do the simplifying Bohemia should have done from the start

>neck support
please no.

I think the best engineering path would be to make those helmets as lightweight as possible with a good chinstrap system.
The ops core oct dial liner really makes the mich feel lighter and easier to work with

The only thing I see exoskeletons good for is to lug copious amounts of ammo to the field

so far in the future that everyone is black and technology has regressed. Also in the future the turks become white for some reason.

at least in terms of weaponry, Halo was pretty well grounded in reality. the shotgun was retarded, but that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

I always hated how they had to change how the Marines looked so drastically each game. CE Marines really were the best.

it's the same shit as cleavage armor that exposes the belly also but protects the tits.

Where they are pretty much the same shit we have today with just a little bit more electronics on the guns.

And where they are also underfunded and badly trained because politicians are obsessed with clean wars fought with fancy high tech toys instead of flesh and blood soldiers.

Glasses, rather than helmets. Look up Magic Leap, and then imagine connecting it to NV/thermal optics, a shot spotter, GPS, and a smart scope on your weapon.

>>31348686
Hear me out, so if your upper body was often exposed in combat it would Make sense to cover your shoulders. Now you are taking on extra weight, however, do to advanced logistics you no longer have to carry extra equipment on the field. How don't pauldrons make sense?

Evidenced by ODST and their survival rate. Gear is expensive. Your life is not.

Fun fact. There has been conclusive research with a mathematical proof that the invisibility is impossible to achieve on anything bigger than something pretty darn small.

Dude it has a chain gun and rocket launchers on it in a video game, why would you worry about having an exposed spot it's just a way to carry around heavier weapons having armor thrown on it is just a perk

i don't think it's suppose to spear head an attack i think it was designed to gaurd places or carry heavy arms and provide support from far so giving it heavy armor would only make it heavier
