A lot of these descriptions are vague because of length and I would be happy to explain the meaning of any of them. Thank you for your time.

I don't rerally care about the specifications until you explain how any of this could possibly work. All you've listed are a bunch of "modifiers" but there's no explanation of the system how any of them are created (there's no way you just get the selection of all of these perks naturally), distributed (by the originator of the modifier, PL, SL, or Outfit Leader, or something), managed (by the person who has that modifier), or restricted (by the game rules).

I'm not going to pick it apart until the horse is back in front of the cart but I can see a plethora of inbound hackusations.

I would have thought that working together as a team creates its own rewards, but then some sort of incentive to do so might address some of the complaints in other posts about lack of depth in the game. Nothing too much though, or too complicated. There are already directives for teamwork but there is no reward for achieving them until you have done each one 1,000,000,000,000 times.Then there are the team-related XP bonuses but they are pretty limited (I only ever scored a few for engie resupply). Why not start with making the existing rewards a bit better then work up from that? Maybe add lower resource cost for pulling Max and/or vehicle if your team doesn't already have a pre-specified number. Rewards should only work if you are in the same area as the rest of your team ofc.

Thanks for the link.

The reason for this thread was because I saw a lot of people come up with ideas for the outfit but that involve perks, but only mention boring perks that already have equivalents in the game, like XP boost. So this list is created as a semi-practical list (I tried to use as many preexisting assets as possible) of interesting and fun to play perks that could be integrated into a larger overhaul.

Thanks for your feedback.

Wrel's take:

Outfit UI overhaul: http://imgur.com/a/Z09Ur#5

Edit: oGround assault. at the cost of your utility and grenade slot you can carry a primary weapon in your secondary weapon slot
+will also be able to run much faster then normal infantry (similar walk speed).

For my sake because the forms will not let me edit older post.

"Force recon. Can carry a assault rifle at the cost of your cloak."
and why would we do this if we can take a other class with better health/shield ?
the other infil ideas are meh but i like the basic additions

You do not think hacking, recon device, and the ability to place mines would be enough to justify losing a cloak for one of the most vertical weapon classes in the game? Also directives. (Serious question, I am not trying to be sarcastic or condescending)

I'd be happy just to have Q-marks made by squad members show up as a different color to squad mates than marks made by random other people. Have it work the same as it does now, but show up orange or green or something.

You need to simplify, there's a lot of info you posted there and you need to weed out the good ideas and simplify.

Any Outfit overhaul isn't going to be overly complicated. It will be straight forward like XP gains, missions, new leader chat, squad stuff.

It won't be damage mods or weapon mods.

a late response
no as a infil the cloak is the one thing that makes the difference for me
all the other stuff is great but i can do without it
if i don't have a cloak i play LA or engineer and my engi can also place mines, recon with x-bow
so why play infil without cloak if i can play engi with extra health, tank mines, turret, unlimited ammo

Where's the latest on the relaunch?

That's one way to flesh out the game o.o I'd look forward to a lot of these!
Really churning out armies now, instead of a bunch of individuals that have no clue what they are doing.. lol.
