Predator Drones.

Yeh, they look the same, but its a real surveilenge device.

The Cyphers in MGS2 were based on those UAVs, so no wonder they look alike
I don't think there are any gun platforms of the real version though, like there is in MGS2.

no i dont believe there are as the camera is still a prototype i think.

What do you mean?
The Cypher's were based on the real life version. The development team said so themselves.

I figured this one would fly like a chopper, you'd be able to see it better and all, and since it does have a camera on top, could be used for recon. Or like they said higher up in this thread.

Hey, there are a lot of security and spy cam threads, or were over at the old forum anyway. Couldn't the two ideas be joined together?
Create this unit which is controlled by the player, then have an action that puts you in camera mode. You can survey the enemy's forces and blahblah.
But you have to make it so that the enemy shoots back at the UAV.

*sigh*

i meant that i thought the REAL LIFE ones were still prototypes, so therefore there probably arent ones with guns seeing as the camera UAVs are still in the prototype stage.

Couldnt someone just make one but have an AI soldier get in it. Use the helmet cam script to see what it sees and send the leader can control the thing with the move command.

The AI do fly it - theres no other way.
