Oh yea as Crysis armor is called nanosuit. Questions are: 1) how expensive these would be? 2) Is it comfortable to wear? 3) Is it easy to clean and is it easy to get dirty? 4) Any side effect from wearing it overnight? 5) Is it environmentally safe to produce and discard these 'nanosuits'?

Curious to see how they are going to get around the whole Cancer causing problem... then again, soldiers only need to last longer than the battle right? Guess it doesn't matter if they die 4 years later as a civilian.
