FPS Gaming Vest/Helmet...Truly Own Someone
These vests have been talked about for quite some time, but CoD MapModNews posted about them recently, so let's spread the word. These vests basically mimick the blows you take in game. This may actually become very annoying if you are a noob who gets hit a lot...or once you realize what a nerd you are for wearing a vest that hits you, but at the same time, cool innovation. Read below for some more official details:
I would truly like to hear opinions on this one. Is this cool, nerdy, annoying, innovative? How would you describe this vest, and would you get one?

Before reading completely about this vest, you can check out a video found HERE that shows the vest and helmet in action.
These Gaming Vests transform standard battle gaming into a spine chilling, heart pumping, sweat inducing, adrenalin fuelled (you're getting the point) adventure. Using state of the art pneumatic technology, these S.W.A.T-like body armour suits ensure that every time someone shoots you, you feel the force of impact! With no less than eight impact cells scattered over the front and back of the vest, each delivering up to 10lbs of force, you'll feel the wallop of punches, kicks, bullets and blasts that happen to your character. The strength of the impact varies depending on whether someone taps you on the shoulder, or has the effrontery to hit you head on with a shotgun (which is just rude). Festooned with zips and clips, the vest adjusts to fit snugly over the thin and not so thin alike, will communicate with a variety of games (see below), and comes with a copy of Call of Duty® 2, so you can get started straight away. Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war!

The 3rd Space Driver, developed by TN Games, is software which runs on your PC that adds the 3rd Space effects to a particular game during game play. This one piece of software communicates with multiple game titles. The 3rd Space driver is not part of the game itself, and the 3rd Space controls are NOT contained on the game disc. In order for the 3rd Space effects to work, you will need to be playing an official licensed version of the appropriate game. This list will be updated, and new versions of the driver made available for download, as more titles become supported.
