Looks like scientist were playing WoW when they designed this suit in the lab

How would it possible to have no shadow?

That is an excuse to come up with a useless unlock...

If light are not hitting you or reflected away then it should not casts a shadow...its a simple thing.

ROFL! You have a good point there. But if you notice, even though you are cloaked and you walk up in front of a guy, he will see you. Not behind but in front.

The cloak dosent make you transparent to light, it just reproduce what is on the other side. for that reason, there is no sunlight touching the ground under you, thus making a shadow.

There is a stealth module that removes your shadow in Cloak as its second benefit. Even with it though Cloak is still questionable as anyone in Nanovision can still see you quite easily.

Youre invisible not phazed out. You're invisble to the eye. Not to light, or physics, If someone runs up to you they cant walk through you, and neither would the light, hence the shadow.

This **** was in fist Crysis and Warhead it has nothing to do with unlocks.

Well the shadow is supposed to be there...what the nanosuit does is crystals on it's surface change color to blend in with the surrounding texture. Light is not "going through you." Instead, the suit just projects and image so it appears that way. You're still blocking the light and will cast a shadow.

This is true.

There are still "matter" in place blocking the light from reaching the ground behind you.

Indeed, the suit does not make you transparent, only invisible.

Yes, there is a difference

Transparent means light passes clean through it, meaning we cannot see it directly as a result (and it does not cast a shadow). Invisible means we just can't see it (but light can still hit it, causing a shadow). For example a black letter on this background is invisible, but not transparent.

Shh, you might confuse them with logic. =x

The theories are what make science fiction awesome.

The suit doesn't project the image behind you in front of you, it bends light around you. There's literally nothing to stop the light and to create a shadow, at least no more visible than the shadow of a pane of glass.

Well a shadow is the absence of light there for it would make a shadow if it was not hitting you or reflecting away. To remove a shadow you could project a hologram on your shadow of a lack of shadow.

I guess the right thing would be. Youre transparent, not translucent

F**k yeah, SCIENCE!!!
