Is there a need for an improved method of locomotion for infantrymen?

Like the ability to move in a fully three dimensional manner (up a floor, down a floor). More and more wars will be conducted in urban environments, meaning tons of blocked off alleyways and chokepoints set up by the enemy.

Has anyone actually thought about addressing this with technological means or is everyone waiting for the first disaster to occur in a urban warzone?

It's almost like infantry have these things called "explosives" and "ladders" that they can use to move around walls and buildings......woah

>ladders
Slow and archaic
>Its almost like cavalry has these things called horses and cutlasses......whoa
That's you. That's what you sound like.

Yes, we called them stairs. In 3D even!

You might be interested to learn that jump packs don't actually exist.

As opposed to what you retard

3d manouver gear does not and will never exist you fucking weeb

Anyway, we might get motorized grappling hooks eventually for scaling vertical surfaces but that is a long ways off

Currently exoskeletons are focused on improving strength, not mobility.

Mobility focuses exoskeletons are a lot more difficult to develop. And they wouldn't be for infantrymen, they are disposable personnel. This would be SOF only as they are already extremely expensive human assets.

Wall running, double jumps and jetpacks, duh.

Jet packs are slow and terrible for manuevering.

Grapple hooks that don't suck shit would be more effective. But all grapple hooks suck shit.

>>31871042

You try and freerun with plates and all your shit on your back, neverserved

What's the fastest exoskeleton so far?
>>
>>31871060
You can only use them for a short jump at a time too, I don't think they have any that are capable of sustained flight
>>
>>31873309
They don't have enough initial impulse for a jump
Just a slow rise. They suck

>>31870878

Legs are stupid. Replace them with tracks.

Some day 3D maneuver gear?

Are we UT2k4 soon?

I want an Unreal Tournament to replace all mainstream sports. Fuck Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey. I want teams of 5 duking it out to the death with rocket launchers, flak cannons, shock cannons, plasma guns, etc...

"Attack on Shitty Cliff Hangars Because The Author Doesn't Know How To End His Series" needs to stop getting credit for 3D movement in an urban environment

>>31873529
Combat already replaced all sports. Just need to turn of the electric Jew in your living room. Pick up LiveLeak and watch the best sport in the world.
