have you ever read the starcraft manual as to what ghosts are? im sure of one thing, they do not wear baggy pants

[Stealthy]

They do now . The point of concept art is so that modelers know what they look like so they can do there magic. There are plenty of ghost concepts that blizzard has, reason we're changing them a bit is so GD doesnt get sued. And they want to use there own personal taste. Plus, this ghost looks a hell of alot cooler then the original

NICE

what is a ghost 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think I like the Firebat the most.

firebat is black... but yeah, whatever... eh, they're pretty good i suppose, more than what alot of people around here can do (not trying to offend anyone) And yeah, personally, the ghost looks really bad with baggy pants in comparison to what i think it'd look like, cuz ghosts are special ops guys, they have to be sneaky, baggy pants rustling against each other wont help much, i can see it now, your sneaking into the enemy base to set a nuke beacon (what ghosts are used for mostly in starcraft) your setting up behind a big building , you hear guards walking by, so you freeze, but as u do this, your pants rustly together, they hear, then next thing you know, your eating lead... YAY! wasnt my story fantastic? but yeah, seriously, i dont recomend baggy pants when trying to sneak into a military facility....

Edit: and what the hell is up with glowing green things for spies and the like nowadays? it really looked gay in, for example, splinter cell, you have glowy lights on u, ur hiding in the shadows, sum1 walks rite by u, nearly touching u, "oh, its probably just the wind" i mean, what the hell... lol

well i mean the sources i used for the firebat werent black. But anyway, in the starcraft universe, the firebat used mostly Red and yellow:

*In some cases, firebats had GREY not black on there suits. But that was only to make the suit "less heavy" then what it currently was so that the firebats could move around faster.

So anyway, would you rather run into a base wearing tight leather pants that sqweek as you move around, or mid lvl baggy pants (in which ninjas used during the 800's-1600's because it was there best choice for stealth). The baggy pants the ghost is wearing is not leather. Its all cloth and its extremely light making it easier for him to run around.

And that thing on his face is called a "Visor". The purpose of that was so that you can change your vision and to zoom in on certain things. (Thermal Vision, Night Vision).

I must agree that the giant headlights on Sam Fisher's face most likely made him stand out like an Albino man at the Apollo.

btw, I have taken ninjitsu lessons for 4 almost 5 years. The biggest mistake of any student would be to show themselves to there enemy. The first rule is to catch them by surprise, thats why in all of these stealth games: SplinterCell, Thief, Hidden & Dangerous...you are always facing the back of your enemy. Only a moron would attack from the front where you can be spotted, be wise and go around back.

Also, the ghost have the ability to cloak themselves (meaning you see nothing temporarily). Thats why he has all of those glowing things on him (the visor is to change views) but i forgot what there called in the starcraft world.
