	In Response To: Map and story (Smeeisqualityfootrot) : Is it part of the player's armor or is it part of the player? It's part of the helmet. : why does it effectively block the player's vision ? is it overlayed in his : helmet, or his head? Why do terminals block the players view? Here's my interpretation: The panel on the marine's helmet is really a computer screen of sorts. It's like one of those little lcd screens that you can wear over your eye. The helmet plugs into a terminal and downloads the terminal script and displays it. When the marine goes into map mode, it does the same thing. This also partially explains how the infravison powerup works. : also, why does the map have the same format as the maps on the consoles??? See above. : Does the player/armor some more sensing equipment then just a motion sensor : (to generate the map) for that matter, what has the motion sensor?? why : arn't they used in other systems (targeting etc) or convey more info? Targeting? Well... cuz targeting would make the game too easy (remember that the AI doesn't involve dodging...). : of course you could pass all of this off as "there to make the game : playable" :) Of course...
