So the INF team plans to add armor but I have been pondering this for so long, what will this do to the balancing of the game. I mean as of right now adding armor would make half the weapons useless because of the lack of armor piercing rounds. Also, what about hollow points, Im not to clear on whether they will do more damage or the spread would be stopped. Someone enlighten me on this one.

I imagine it will promote the use of the rifles more based on their superior performance against armor vs sub machine guns like the MP5 
( ). As Primo stated, accuracy is the most effective compensator. But it can be hoped that armor will restrict the movement of the target more, so you can choose a lighter and more mobile MP5 loadout and use that to your advantage. That's what I plan on doing. But you can bet the 5-7 will be the new favorite pistol before too much longer.

So you throw the ballon in the back of the guy with level IV armour and start popping him with your Beretta. Easy isn't it?
You people are forgetting that 9x19mm is available in armor piercing rounds that make the 5.7mm look like a BB pellet.
All hail Shakken!
With the addition of armour peircing rounds, witch are pretty much avalible for all the weapons in INF, armour will not be that big a problem if you load youre mag's right.

Nah- what we need are pump action watergun attachments for the M16 instead of the m203- brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "spray n pray"
Glad to hear the use or armor piercing rounds it has reassured me for using weapons like the mp5 series, and other ones. One other quick question, what rounds will you be making available for AP?

LOL. I'll take a water baloon and a beretta over an robar for armor piercing anyday - NOT.
I don't think armor will save you from a 40mm shot in the face?
Will M4 have armor piercing ammo?

And there is LordKhaine knowing nothing about what he's talking...
I know the caliber, I need to know the penetration...

Will we get to choose what kind of armor, or if we have it at all? 'Cause when everyone is using armor, somebody could not use it and run really fast. and even without armor piercing bullets, if you shoot enough times it's gotta do some damage, right?
Well after a 30 round mag of AP rounds I think the target would be dropped, but I also want to know about hollow points and armor. Same with a 30 round mag of JHPs, I would think they would begin to shread armor.
What I want to know is... How exactly are they going to implement the different ammo types.
For example, do you purchase the ammo types by-the-mag? If so, and you buy three mags of AP and two mags or regular ammo, how do you determine which you load into the gun? More important, on the issue of tracers...
What I really hope to see is the ability to actually load each mag in your loadout with your own selection of bullets, and have the recoil/sound adjusted accordingly per-shot.
So for example instead of a mag of AP rounds, you could load up your mag with one tracer round every 3 AP rounds. Or, maybe one tracer every 2 AP rounds. Or maybe something really weird like a tracer round, ap round, hollow point. Basically you could individually select what bullets were in each mag and how they were loaded. The cost would be determined once you finalized the mag, and would combine the seperate costs of all the different ammo types and amounts used (most likely with a minimum amount, like you couldn't buy just ONE ap bullet, you would end up paying for at least 20 or something).
Of course I don't know what would happen in real life if you loaded a mag with varying types of ammo like that. If you could safely do that though, I'd like to be able to do that in-game.
