His black fur and eyes are replaced with a very dark blue, his gloves become golden, and he gains tone in his face. When Mickey is the hero, his design is based after the old Mickey Mouse theater posters. When the hero, you gain more friends but are not as powerful. Mickey also almost always use Paint to solve his problems. Mickey could become a Hero when he rescues a Gremlin, doesn't fight Beetleworx, befriends Blotlings, and helps Oswald the Lucky Rabbit redeem his throne and become king again.

When Mickey uses more Paint, residents of Wasteland walk with a spring in their step and the music is more full and lighthearted, whereas when he uses Thinner, residents keep their heads down and the music becomes more empty and dispiriting. Mickey's use of the Brush also impacts NPC animations and changes the background music. Originally, player decisions were shown visually with differences to Mickey's model and animations, but this was reduced to the Blot drops that rise from Mickey depending on his Paint and Thinner usage (absent in the sequel), and the addition of the Guardians mechanic. The implementation of these mechanics changed throughout development, though the fundamental focus on decision-making was maintained. One of the most notable examples of the morality system is the end of both Epic Mickey and the sequel, where Mickey's key decisions throughout the game affect which scenes are played. Of course, there is often a middle ground, usually when Mickey skips challenges altogether. He can either be praised as a hero by using Paint and choosing to help the people of Wasteland, or he can be selfish, using Thinner to destroy and be feared as a scrapper. Mickey's decisions affect the way that the residents of Wasteland perceive him. Playstyle Matters, or the morality system is a central gameplay mechanic in the Epic Mickey series.

![]() ![]() Naturally, the USMC might want to equip Infantrymen with suppressors and variable power optics. Readers should consider that the USMC requires more than just the basic rifle. One need only look at the other RFIs that have been recently issued by MCSC for small arms. While the USMC has only alluded to the actual cost, the USMC has publicly stated that the new cost of each M27 IAR is “less than was paid for each Colt M4/M4A1.” I am not authorized to release that cost, but one can do the math and see there appears to be some “extra money” mysteriously floating about in this equation. The GAO adjudicated in favor of the USMC and an RFP was prepared to purchase M27s for every Rifleman in every USMC Rifle Squad (and potential issuance to members of Combat Engineer Squads, Reconnaissance Teams, etc.). The USMC created a “Sole Source” purchase request and that was protested with the GAO by FN Herstal who is the contractor for the US Army M4A1 (note: the USMC has not purchased an M4/M4A1 since Colt Defense was the contractor). Marine Corps Systems Command published a Request For Information (RFI) to inquire to industry to produce enough M27s to meet the requirement, and one corporation was able to meet all of the requirements: Heckler & Koch. While the USMC is working on Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to mitigate these effects, the M27 proved again to be an increase in combat capability over the currently issued M4 and M4A1. The M27 IAR, when fully outfitted, is about a pound heavier than an M4/M4A1 (note: the M4A1 is slightly heavier than the M4). The results were largely positive with some “added costs,” both financially and physically. One of the test concepts was to observe the effects of issuing M27 IARs to every Marine in a given unit (usually a Rifle Company) and to equip every Marine with a sound suppressor. The Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) conducted a large-scale test of future concepts which focused on the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines during a deployment cycle. In the MCOTEA testing, which is available upon request from the USMC, the M27 proved to provide MORE continuous fires on an enemy, especially at night, with a far greater degree of accuracy than the M249.The USMC is a “people business” and until we replace Marines with robots with AI, personal confidence is an important factor which contributes to the will of a Marine to fight and to believe his leaders are competent and care for him/her. The USMC has recorded years of anecdotal evidence that suggest Marines have extremely high confidence in their issued M27 IAR and actively seek to retain the weapon for as long as they can.In contrast, the USMC considers 3 MOA to be “normal” for an M4/M4A1 when it’s new (although many group better than that). For example, USMC M27s have proven to group within three Minutes of Angle with M855 ball at a round count of 33,000 (at 100M). The M27 sports a free-floating rail system that contributes to the baseline accuracy of the weapon.A Reconnaissance Man might care about that and for that matter, the root of the word “Marines” has something to do with water. The M16A4 and M4 have proven incapable of safely firing a round through a water-filled bore. The M27 has proven that it can sustain a round fired through a fully water-filled bore without damaging the weapon, and as important, the M27 can continue to fire without issue after this event.These issues were resolved in all the rifles. The M27 has suffered some M855A1 teething issues. ![]() Current (newest recipe) M855A1 cartridges reduce these endurance numbers, respectively. The M4 barrel and bolt (locking lugs) may last upwards of 10,000 rounds under extreme use before requiring replacement. For example, when using M855 ball, the M27 barrel and bolt may last over 35,000 rounds before requiring maintenance/replacement. The M27 has proven to be extremely durable when compared to the M16A4 and M4/M4A1.Also, enemy snipers and other personnel may be less likely to identify the Automatic Rifleman - that’s a good thing. The M27 operates (and appears to the enemy) just like the M4, allowing our current cradle-to-grave combat marksmanship training continuum to “plug-and-play” with all the weapons in the Fire Team. ![]() ![]() Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is constantly expanding: each season brings new content, in-game events, and more.
