I would guess that the numbers are programmed into the helmet computer?

How would you get dogtags off a storm trooper? I mean it's probably in the armor, under the helmet and whatever else they wear under it.......(Please, please tell me stormtroopers wear something under their armor.....*shudder*)

Anyway, I like how there's no tags, makes me care less about being knifed. In vanilla, I used to hunt people whole rounds after they knifed me. As such, my K/D with the knife is something like 4/1, and most are unique (Why knife the same person twice? The second time I'll just shoot him).

Still, old habits die hard, and when I see a prone enemy faced away from me, it's instinct to pull out the batton.......(which I like a lot better then the vibroknife ), however, a string of failed attempts has dampened my enthusiasm for the ol' poke of death.

It's a hell of a lot harder requiring 2 hits, even with longer range. Haven't got a ryyke kill yet.

But i cant picture stormtroopers with dogtags, really. It wouldn't make much sense either, since you cant keep them, there is no rank system. Thank dev for that.

I was thinking the same, no stats so what is the point?
Sure you could take a screenshot, but you can already do that with [SomeDude]Knife[SomeOtherDude]

And it encourages the people who always end up blocking their teams field of fire, getting everybody killed in their own private souvenir hunt.

We need a zombie stormtrooper class.

TAAAAGSSSSS... TAAAGSSSS... [lumbers along in torn, green armour with one vibroknife in each outstretched hand]

Er, but seriously, no thanks.

No thanks

I'm sure some rebels would love to steal my Imperial helmet, as it has a built-in binocular function. Would be hard to carry 10 of those around, though .

it probably wouldnt be the best things to do cause it might not promote teamwork as much as sticking with your squad and gunning the enemy down.

i would imagine that the stormies and the rebels did have some sort of identification thing with them.

maybe they had their number printed on their armor or something..

No. I never saw a single stormie or rebel wear dogtags. In fact, I find the whole concept a bit silly and detrimental to gameplay. 'OK, there's a guy I could quite easily kill with my blaster, but I'll head over and risk my hide by knifing him. It's not like my team suffers from my recklessness'.
