Recon UAV ?

[Ade]

Something like the US Predator or UK Phoenix ...

You would need a control panel which triggers a live cutscene of what the UAV can see when the player moves near it.

Might be fun in MP ... program the UAV to loiter where you think the opposition are and hope they're not looking up.

UAV's are often rail launched from the back of a truck, I don't know how difficult this would be to model.

On a related note, has anyone come up with a way of implementing any type of remote controlled vehicle?

I'm unfamiliar with the term UAV. What does it stand for? Sounds as if it's a remote guided camera rocket thingy (like the Nikitas in MGS, but without the explosives   ). It also sounds pretty hard to make.

UAV - Unmaned Air Vehicle (correct me if im wrong)

Its an unmaned surveillance plane...

You pretty much hit the nail on the head there Kyle.

MGS is an awesome series! Can't wait for the next one  ;D.
