i will get crysis after i finsihed COD4
now thats another game that i will be warpped up in for weeks

At this point im going to direct you to this thread: Crysis Discussion as we are way too off topic. Feel free to post your questions there.

I don't think it would have to be a nano suit. All it would have to do is look like that freaky guy in the game and it would just scare people into surrender.

There's stuff on the net about a bomb that uses nanoparticles of aluminum to make "superthermite" weapons.

Nanotechnology is scary. Far scarier than nuclear technology.

Something like this, delta?

Thats Americas future force warrior of 2020.

I thought they canceled that? I remember a great feeling of disappointment when I learned that we won't have a bunch of superheros for soldiers.

The Land Warrior program was phased out in early 2007... It was quite unpractical. The future force warrior, to my knowledge, has not been canceled.

What's the possibility on super speed, i can't find any information on technology that can speed you up.

Well, that is up for debate. A nanotechnologist from texas has already come up with artificial muscles from a nano based solution. He claims that these 'muscles' are 100x stronger than the average mans. I would imagine it would make you quite fast, Ill have a look around and see what I can come up with.

you guys are all ignorant, talking about technology growing at an exponential rate. Most of the devices we use today are all improvents on, and applications of concepts in physics that have been in existence for over a century. The automobile, microprocessors; scaled down vacuum tubes, that were being used as processors over 50 years ago, data storage devices; solid state storage an extremely old concept improved upon. But entering into the arena of nano scale machinery does not involve scaling down or refining an old concept. It involves construction of extremely complex machinery at an atomic scale. And please nobody mention nanofibers; those are just materials with extremely small and strong bonds. Not saying it won't be possible, but not without a completely new and revolutionary idea in physics and possibly bio-engineering.

Somebody didn't read.

The nanomuscles already exist. Somebody already made them. You know what "already" means, right? It means you just wasted some finger power typing a bunch of drivel.

The fact is we already have armored suits that give us incredible speed and make hauling heavy things a breeze. Each of us strap them on every day and even take them for granted.

We call them automobiles.

100 years ago the automobile was an oddity and a site to make a special trip to see. Now we give them to our teenagers for their 16th birthday.

The suits being discussed today is an oddity. I'd make a special trip just to see one work.

I've no doubt in 100 years we'll be giving them to our teenagers for their 16th birthday.

First I did mention nanofibres in my post, these nanomuscles are Shape memory alloys, have existed since the 1950s and have the unique ability to "remember" their shape. When electric current is applied to it, a stretched SMA will snap back to its original form. Useful no doubt, but to flawlessly enhance a persons muscles doubtful. Do you know the range of a human tendon? A suit made from these alloys will be to restrictive. And do suits being tested now use servos and hydraulic systems. Don't believe all you are told, pick up a book sometime and quit being so ignorant.
P.S
I did say the manufacture of this suit is probable didn't I? *Snip*

Okay, this suit is uber complex system that is a negative compliment of the human body's own nervous/skeletal and other systems. This is not the slam dunk of cutting and pasting technology as it emerges and saying "Hey Mom! Look what I built! I can lift a car!!!"

Also, the likely first applications of these technologies will likely be partially deployed in medical applications for amputees, people suffering paralysis, and other musculoskeletal maladies such as MS. Sorry to burst your bubble, gamers, but the medical industry has you beat here with obtaining the best contracts from the government.

Or haven't you heard? Blowing things up is not the only thing that the U.S. government controls entirely. They also control our food supply, regulate our electrical grid and tell us how much we're going to be taken for the cost of an aspirin.

Wake up and realize that A) yes, someday you'll see some idiot kid from Attumwah, Iowa suited up in one of these outfits in an Army demonstration, B) that demonstration will start and end there, C) the technology will be harvested and farmed out to the respective industries that can make the most gazillions of dollars from each component.

To me, this is far more efficient a killing machine than dreaming of beating the life out of enemies one hater at a time.
