It tends to restrict movement too much. Course some people do wear 
dirt bike armor. I tend to operate as a sniper with a Ghillie suit. 
As a target, I'm a big shambling pile of burlap/bushy brown stuff 
when I run around. Mostly I creep and crawl. Short range games aren't 
much help though. Its easier if I can go into hide when they aren't 
looking at me. The nice thing about the Ghillie suit is shots are 
usually well padded and don't hurt. The problem is that it is bloody 
hot and when I do take fire, my face is the first thing to get a hit.
