I suppose that suicide bombers brings up a lot of issues, both morally and gameplay wise.

Morally, its the way of the terrorist vs the way of the samurai. Terrorist will do what is necessary to cause the most destruction, while samurai's would rather kill themselves than die without honor.

I suppose there will be a lot of Americans playing the game. Americans are going to be the anti-terrorists so-to-speak. Their initial thoughts I'm sure will lean more towards 'No suicide bombers'

However I suppose logically it is a scenario that need to be brought to the devs attention, because it is a real-world event, where people sacfracfice themselves.

My thoughts, logistcally suiciders happen and have to be dealth with. Perhaps give suiciders extra long respawn time, or post-death penalties, or something to prevent suicides as a form of cheating or harrassment. Or perhaps make suicide vests exteremtly expensive.

Although the bailing from a moving loaded jeep going 100mph then igniting the explosives is really cheap and would probably be looked upon with a great frown from the gameplayer public.
