Uprising is looking great. Progress is coming across nicely.
I know special effects isn't the most important thing on the checklist, but I'd like to recommend adding some shell shock/vision distortion effects to the game as you take damage.

Anyone who's played Battlefield 3 can appreciate the immersion that the deafening shell shock has whenever a grenade collapses a wall right next to you, etc.

Lore-wise, Dust suits have many augmentations to protect the clone from such sensory overload.

Yet, what protects the suit?

There's a lovely new graphical effect when your shields are taking damage. I propose adding a gradually increasing distortion effect to the HUD as the armor takes more and more damage. As armor nears zero, both the HUD starts to fail and flash and the dropsuits ability to regulate shell shock fails. So the weaker your armor the more susceptible you are to vision distortion and other such things as you come under attack.

Was playing BF3 at a friends house, and noticed just how immersive the infantry experience was.
Of course, when he sliced an entire fence down with a trench knife, that kind of shattered the immersion, but the intensity of the shell shock stood out to me.

Thoughts?

+1, more immersion is good.

if you are hit by a close range explosion, make the HUD crack like what you would see for example:

and then as your are being repaired, have it slowly dissapear until you are at full health
