The Sarcos exoskeleton prototype gives soldiers protection, "superhuman strength" and endurance capabilities. Wait till the end of the video to see some possible prototypes...

Check out Crysis. New PC game coming out, I've played the demo and it's the most realistic shooter to date. It'd take way too long to even describe all the features of the game, but this is related because you play a soldier given a high tech exoskeleton suit. It's abilities include super speed, strength, armor, and cloaking.

dude that is awesome... looks like halo is coming to life!! I've always thought about this kind of thing happening and if it ever comes into mainstream development, which I'm sure it probably will in the future, combat is just going to get easier. Will this suite make exercise or physically fit soldiers even necessary?? I would think it would kind of promote decreased strength since the robot basically does everything for you. Definitely not opposed to the idea because it us undeniably sweet...

Next I want to see them come out with a fiber-optic suite of some sort that bends light around a person well enough that all one sees is whats on the other side. The invisible suite. That would be equally as awesome...
