Disguise merc has been in game? Multipurpose mercs?

When listening to the merc lines, i found someting interesting (someting that maybe people already know)

In Vasilis audio lines 2:27 Vasili screams about enemy being discuised and also in some lines screams them being discuised as him.

Now i have no idea when they recorded these lines, could be ages ago, but was there ever in the earliest alpha any merc with that ability.

Also i noticed that Vasili screams him being a fire support, recon, medic and engineer. He also has lines like: “activating camo” (aka Phantoms reflective armor)

I also noticed that Stoker screams about throwing fire support beakon, i meant there are so many lines about mercs doing thing that they dont do, i assume that these are old lines, but does that mean that Vasili could choose in the past (or in development stage) what class he was? Was stoker originaly the skyhammer 0.1?

(also Vasili is all alone 7:04, kinda sad XD )

(We gonna need freakin movie about all these mercs.)

Kira also has a bunch of frag out lines; I assume they had extra lines for the VAs just in case.

regardless if they were spare lines or not, a disguise merc would be pretty sweet.

Splash Damage’s previous games allowed the intel/stealth/sniper class to take enemy uniforms. The system works better with friendly fire on, in my opinion. I don’t see much point with how small dirty bomb maps are and with friendly fire off. However, I wouldn’t mind all recons gaining the ability, even if it were mostly useless.

Technically they could have a spy check system like in TF2 where only disguised people are damaged by attacks and have friendly fire remain off for your actual team members.

Actualy it would be cool mechanic for recons, being able to take enemies clothers, then again how the hell would vasili ever look convinsing in Rhino outfit.

Propably even better if there was a merc with a ability to make him look like other mercs (spy style)
