Why Are There so Many Alpha Series Running Around in BS2 ? :
In BS2, I must've killed at least a dozen (they respawn), and saw several more dead ones. Did Sofia Lamb reactivate the assembly line ( Yet another bunch of people she is destroying ... I heard screams and a 'cranium saw' sounds in Persephone ).
She had Sinclair 'turned into one' pretty quickly ( You would have thought it would take a bit longer to do the conversion process Sinclair's conversion - We do not know how long WE as [Delta] were incapacitated/unconscious.). No doubt, she would want to use them to attack Other parts of Rapture ( Since they can travel out in the water to get past all the city interior paths destroyed to contain her ) so to secure more ADAM for her delusional Utopian projectDefenses against Sofia Lamb - the Airlocks then would be heavily defended and controlled from the inside. Windows possibly would be covered over - to leave no easy method of extermination to the "Collectivist Bitch" ( as Sofia Lamb was called. )
They don't seem to last too long against Big Daddies, and may have trouble getting into Airlocks when they are locked out ( Sofia Lamb has been trying to seize control of other parts of Rapture for years, and was previously persuaded to stop by Hephaestus turning off her power and heat for a day causing her domain to become one large 'fridge', and thus to reconsider her actions. ) The Alphas seemed to be pretty well 'controlled' in BS2, but they may all mostly be new ones that did NOT get the Little Sister bonding that drove earlier ones mad.

The Gamemakers just copied details from a conventional Canvas Standard Diving Suit, when they no longer had a function on these Cyborgs.
The Chest Weight (seen) on a Rope is so the diver in emergency can lighten themselves and float to the surface.
The Big Air Tubes which really should NOT be exposed to hang up on things.
The Divers Knife - used to cut weight ropes or anything the diver gets caught on. Never seen used as a weapon in-game.

Alphas with Barnacles on Their Suits :
It requires a Long Time of being in the Ocean water for Barnacles to grow ( and it disrupts/kills them when they are out of sea water too long ). Suits stored in water ? Has to be Ocean water - else the barnacles dry up after too long out of the water and die ( never to grow that big and the small ones while they are trying to adhere need a stable surface ). Suits normally would be washed down as part of their maintenance. We saw alot of the Big Daddies walking about inside (dry) for long periods of time.
* Possibly recovered Suits from dead Alphas, which sat out in the Ocean for an extended period ?
* Barnacles also adhere to solid surfaces. The cloth (canvas) sections of that type of suit would not have any barnacles growing on them.
* Maybe we should also have had some barnacles growing on the faces of Splicers ??? ( and certainly those dead ones (corpses) in the water which seem to last intact forever ).
So NO Barnacles on any Big Daddies in the MMORPG. Merely a truth in details thing for the MMORPG.
