If it were a multiplayer environment it'd definitely force a higher level of strategy than "I'll run over these mines so that my flag carrier has a clear path" for instance :)

Kinda like playing paintball but indoors and without the mess. Falco, you should totally host a server and we'll play it as a forum. Haha.

Yeah, they've had one for awhile. I remember back in the day my friend had one for N64. It was a gigantic rumble pack vest that plugged into the controller.

I bet that air compressed vest would feel like getting the wind knocked out of you. Only every second on a war game. :lol: That would suck. "I almost get 'em" Then, "oof!". I personally like the idea, but it would get really annoying after a while being shocked and hit with all of that.
