Is that a wearable ribbed latex commando outfit I smell right there?
I wonder if the 'Commando encounter' is the new gameplay asset for farming the Shadow pills?

Havocide · 09/26/2007 15:55:17

Random Elite Commando's spawning in the white halls + Good loot ((we can pray right? SMILEY

))?

KevinX · 09/26/2007 15:56:23

Hmm... nice clothing and nice googles.

By the way, who's that crazy guy? He sure have a bad taste for hair. xD

MatrixRefugee · 09/26/2007 15:58:43

Ooooh, Elite Commandos!

Never did get to fight one of them things (being a Merv), but if the Boss needs a mop-up on some trouble-makers, I know someone who'd be more than delighted to take it on...

I think that's Rarebit lol

Looks awesome! Probably what he meant about needing outside to obtain the other pills.

Methinks that 'guy' is a gal (Rare?!), but your right, strange taste in hair style.. to each their own I guess!

timeframe01 · 09/26/2007 16:10:11

...I want that outfit.

Loved fighting those guys though.

ThePigeonKing · 09/26/2007 16:17:05

Jeez, with all of these exiles popping up everywhere (data nodes, Headless, Commandos) I wonder what impact this'll have on the stability of the Matrix.

Ghostwise · 09/26/2007 16:17:48

Whoever it is....tell em' to wear some shoes for goodness sakes. Freaking Neanderthals!

TonyJaa · 09/26/2007 16:33:35

Ummm....................ok!

Anamodiel · 09/26/2007 16:40:25

Any information on a Producer's Letter?

CPT_Starschwar · 09/26/2007 16:45:46

So lets see

Some kind of Elite Commando quest? Nice.
Elite commando suit on redpill - neck down, no gloves or boots. I love it.
Elite commando goggle - eyeware, I presume. Note the redeye trail is present.
More use of the white hallways is always a good thing.

CPT_Starschwar · 09/26/2007 16:49:05

Also note the image retrieval makes note of programs escaping the Merovingian's holding constructs before this - a reference to Pandora's Box...

KevinX · 09/26/2007 17:22:49

Sure that guy is Rare... >_>

I was just attacking his fashion sense. ^^

XRontix · 09/26/2007 17:49:26

sweet, now we can wear The General's gimp suit I suppose?

Ballak · 09/26/2007 18:09:36

~~I guess the new goggles make the Red Eye perpetual a little less meaningful, eh?~~

Wait, no! Don't make us farm more stuff because of that statement! Augh!

I was thinking the same thing.

The elite commando suit is ugly, but *CENSORED*.. I've wanted those goggles for a long time.

ZaneZavin · 09/26/2007 19:26:12

Please let this be a continuation of pandoras.

Rarebit · 09/26/2007 19:47:02

Neither Pandora's nor pills.

EgoKilla · 09/26/2007 19:55:58

I hope you can get the boots and gloves, otherwise were gonna look silly.

Well whatever it is, it looks fun.

GypsyJuggler · 09/26/2007 20:02:59

This looks like awesome to me. The only problem is raising enough cash for a Construct Key, but hey I was going to do that eventually anyway. Oh, I hope this gear has good Sniper buffs...

Rarebit · 09/26/2007 20:03:48

Those doors have no locks.

GypsyJuggler · 09/26/2007 20:09:22

*gibbers a bit* Wh.. whoa.

Edit: Now that you mention it, it does look subtly different to the normal hallways. It's hard to tell for sure though from just that picture. Is anyone taking bets on where we access it from?

Amative · 09/26/2007 20:12:10

Oh really?

Rarebit · 09/26/2007 20:23:20

You think you recognize that hallway? Look again.

Gerik · 09/26/2007 20:32:17

They do look different, you can tell by looking all the way in the background. If it was the hallway from the Org Keys, then the light would of turned right, but in the picture, the ceiling light stops and hits a wall.

Edit: And the shadow in the corner.

NightTrace · 09/26/2007 20:32:46

The goggles = yes.

The suit = ....meh @ best.

This is truly a goatee stroker...hmmm.....

That suit is beyond awesome as a wearable.

Arkham · 09/26/2007 20:44:35

The suit would be awesome, especially if it have level 40-50 buffs.

KevinX · 09/26/2007 20:57:55

There are two/three options for buffs:

11 pts of Resistance - please no.

10% in Inned strenght - "meh"

Uber buffs like in Area K - Best choice.

Keep up the good work guys!!!! I love this suit.

Croesis · 09/27/2007 00:01:53

Another white hallway instance... I like that. I think the White hallways and Org areas are being under utilised at the moment.

Gerik · 09/27/2007 00:07:38

Asa · 09/27/2007 04:24:44

Is the ceiling different?

Follow the light on the ceiling and watch it go into the background, you'll see it end and hit a wall. That wall there gives a shadow in the corner. The hallways we have now aren't like that.

My bet is Tabor West - I remember a thread about an e-mail being sent announcing the Headless quest, at the end of the e-mail it said that this wrapped up the stuff in Uriah and the next stop was Tabor West so I'd put good money on that being an access point - that or the top of the ascension monument, which would be very cool!!

Sotirios · 09/27/2007 09:02:15

However this is going to be implemented, I look forward to it. Those goggles would be sweet to have. I'm not quite as confident about the suit, especially for a bald man like myself, but I'm sure it'll serve its purpose.

cloudwolf · 09/27/2007 10:03:32

Hopefully red eye isn't permanently attached, kinda devaluates [opinion] the archive and perpetual versions we have now.

But hey, new encounters are always cool [opinion] - hopefully its not too strongly team based though, its nice [opinion] to have something to solo every once in a while.

Oh and i doubt its in tabor (or at least shouldnt be [opinion]) since thats canon-ly [oh noes! bad word!] a machine hq.

GoDGiVeR · 09/27/2007 10:55:03

lol cloud, you afraid that a Mod stalks you?

*a shadow disappears from the corner of clouds post*

Eh, right.

Anyways the "neither pandora nor pills" sounds conforming, though the Pandora storyline is a cool subquest =/

ManicV · 09/27/2007 11:00:56

This intrigues me.

But... (there's always a big "but" isn't there? SMILEY ) I hope that the Elite Commando suit, assuming we can wear it, doesn't force us to go barefoot/gloveless/hatless as pictured in the screenshot. Unless the suit itself has some uber buffs to compensate for the lack of clothing. Still, the "Scuba Steve" look is a bit silly.

And if this gives the White Hallways more use, that's a major plus.

He's treading on thin ice, because he knows the easily over-reaction balloon is easily popped.

I figured it would be kind of like an outer-suit. Which is placed in the "coat" section of your character and that black/lined color would just go over what you're wearing, from head to toe (provided you're wearing anything).

CPT_Starschwar · 09/27/2007 14:12:05

I for one love the suits - reminds me of MGS and Splinter Cell.

EgoKilla · 09/27/2007 15:03:48

It looks like a catsuit for female - Shirt

and maybe a Rocawear style for male - Coat

CPT_Starschwar · 09/27/2007 15:24:07

Nah, gotta be the same slot for gameplay balance. Outerware... OR split it into seperate shirt and pants.

The catsuits/fighting dresses are actually places in the shirt section for women... are Roca wear outfits the same?

phaydren · 09/27/2007 15:31:50

Black boots, Black formal gloves, The suit, The headgear, and if your lucky enough to have a female rsi, A black mask, should be about as close as you can get to being an elite commando (unless the headgear takes up the hat slot instead of the glasses slot).

Too bad theres no male masks that cover the whole face, would have looked good. (hint hint: male masks as another reward in the patch after next as part of the commando encounter reward set. Unless theres already a male mask that im not aware of.)
