Once you've been turned down by a drunk, fat, Irish bird then fear of rejection is dead to you forever.

Idk why people make such a big deal about love. Just -blam!- everything you see, until you find the one you want to -blam!- for the rest of your life.

Did anyone else notice in the latest update what Urk and Bakken said?


Urk: Being that the Security Zone mission takes place during the daytime hours, players won't be getting as much use out of the VISR as they would on say, Crater (night). You haven't pulled an sneaky tricks like sticking Active Camo Brutes into the mix equipped with Flame Greandes and Maulers, have you?

Bakken: Hey, i see what you did there. Yeah, even though the VISR isn't as effective in daytime levels, it's still no slouch when the sun is out. There could possibly be enemies that have Active Camo, Flame Grenades and Meaulers that might just get the drop on you unless you're flicking on the VISR every once in a while. Plus it's a great acquisition tool, so it's pretty useful even during the day for any of the other enemies.


Could it be that your VISR can see invisble people? kinda defeats invisibility doesn't it...

Im guessing it outlines them yeah.

Perhaps it outlines them vaguely. Only flickering dimly when there's a drastic movement in the enemy.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Well, it seems like they put a lot of thought into it.

(turns VISR on, completely blinding vision with green glow, but does outline the invisible Brute)

Basically, to see the invisible Brute in a daytime mission like Security Zone, you lose your ability to see the terrain.

The device has been modified....

Hmm I guessing but, I think the VISR would have a time limit. So when you activate it, you can only use it for 10 secs then it recharges. But thats only what I think they may do we'll have to wait and find out

That has been confirmed in the IGN playthrough.
