Hacking

[Jamie]

I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if you could in some way hack an npc and turn it agenst the enemy.

I like this idea. Maybe having a permanently hacked ally though could make stealth a bit tricky (if it was following you around everywhere), and take away some of the difficulty in the game.

How about a temporary hack. Like a zapper kind of weapon that would disrupt the bot for a short time and make it attack mearby bots, or perhaps a mine/trap of some sort that could disrupt a small area causing all bots in it to go haywire and attack each other, for a bit.

Although then again i'm not sure if this sort of level of tech would/should be available to the player.
