Did I miss something, or are the augments you get throughout the game black market swag?

Because you can never be too perfect...hint hint

Interesting question. I hope the story explains it.

Pshh, military grade? You must have fought the military in various video games before. You most likely mowed down soldiers like they were grass under your lawnmower. You want their equipment? I think not.

ITs part of the story why it happens. I can easily tell you why he was favored. But why ruin it. 

I don't think he is fully augmented yet. He could get bottom of the line military augs from the start, and work your way up. There is tons of different augs, so that is my best guess.

Minor starting story spoilers:

Jenses HAS the best upgrades that Sarif industries can provide. However he had a very large number of them (most of his body). The human mind and body simply cannot adopt to all the augmentations straight away. During the game you are not getting any new upgrades, you are simply bringing existing augmentations online or unlocking their full capabilities and potential.

You can also get a bigger... Well at least that what most of the mails in my inbox say.

Instead of creating a new thread, I thought I would just post it here. What exact augmentations does Jensen have? From what I've seen in the trailers, it's his arms, eyes, um.. something? Are his legs augmented? Or his mind for that matter. Or is this unknown for now?

@valrog:

• arms
• legs
• eyes
• cranial implants - the brain is untouched but there are extensive systems which pretty much latch onto it and interact directly with it
• dermal (skin)
• lungs
• spine
• plus some other internal shit, which I'm not sure what organs they replace, like his batteries and regeneration

This is if you are looking for a list of replaced body organs. If you want a straight up list of in-game augmentations: http://www.giantbomb.com/deus-ex-human-revolution/61-21358/all-the-augs-in-the-game-become-batman-and-robocop-combined/35-505872/#20

It's called software. Even the most powerful computer today still gets software updates to make it even more powerful and add more functionality.
