It’s more complicated than that :).
You will be able to put heavy armor on your chest and light legs for example. Or just put on armored boots and a helmet… and so on.

But there is “medium”: a fella with light armor. A fella without any armor would be a “light” class.

MM: Yes I want to have at least 2 different armor types. Very light armor, as well as super heavy armor.

Nice. I like it that there is no medium. Should make a nice division between light and heavy… Heres our first classes :).

Is armor going to behave similar to or be apart of the inventory / weapon / equipment selection menu thing (individual pieces or whole thing?)? Yes. Will armor be repairable at all? Yes there will be an armor repair kit. However only for damaged armor, if it falls off you can't get it back. Can you drop armor (specific parts / whole thing) you are currently wearing? Not at the moment. This feature might be too complicated to use. Will there be different types of armor? Yes I want to have at least 2 different armor types. Very light armor, as well as super heavy armor.

And also “build 1922 released 41 days ago” time for a new release?

Shield would be a cool element… If shield would be big enough a couple of players could hide behind it. This would give a team play element. Just an idea though…

Most definitely awesome!

Will there be different types of armor? E.g. lightweight armor would hardly protect you, but will help somewhat, but still keep you light; whereas some heavy-duty armor would last longer.

I’d prefer more frequent updates with changes like these.
We’ll see.

How will overkilling work. More specifically, will a Baldr shot kill an uberman, compared to, say, Glitnir (the railgun)?

I think it’d be nice to have moderate overkill damage simply break off the armor without killing, and then the real overkill piercing armor and being a true one-hitter. This would give heavier weapons some proper role.

How about some view distortion when the head is damaged.
For ubermen, static perhaps?
