Alternate Uniforms?


(Maestro_AKQ) #1

Will the Strogg and GDF have alternate uniforms available depending on the map conditions(snow camo, jungle camo, desert camo exct)? Are there any ways to customize your characters appearences? Would be sweeettttt!

Yeah you can change into a tapir suit. No hiding then for you! But the Tapir is the greatest beast to have on your side with his pie-eating attack. That is sweeettttt!

Wasn’t it written as “paj-attack”?

Choosing appearences would well be possible for the Strogg, just take a different human to slaughter.
The GDF will be slightly harder. We’ll need masks for that, lots of masks.

And now serious: I think it only detracts from gameplay. Having one type of uniform would mean that you can always recognize your teammates from your enemies, selecting skins makes it harder. In fact, you’ll have to worry more about ninja Strogg than skins, imo.

Yea right FPS Tapirs with deathray lasers mounted on their backs. . .Reminds me of all the Ronald McDonalds running around in MOH:AA. Anyway it seems like a subtlety that they may have missed. I dont see any winter gear for the GDF. They wont blend in to well in the snow maps. Plus I think it would be really cool if you could have atleast some form of character customization.

You sure?

Does kind of look that way, doesn’t it?

I hope they are automatic and not custom-defined?

Cool. I never looked at the screenshot that closely to see the winter camo. But it would be really nice for the longevity of the game and fun factor to be able to customize yourself somehow. Even for clans the ability is useful since you could automatically spot a teammate, and know which teammate it is. Im buying the game on release day regradless because it looks amazing. But a little customization would go a long way. Just because its the “Global Defense Force”, or “Strogg Nation” doesnt mean everyone is a drone does it? :frowning:

How about some insignias players could choose? You could also make the boots and say gloves customizable a bit.

You can know your teammates name by placing your crosshair on them (like w:et). And each class has their own models/skins, weapons and special gears. So it’s easy to know who your dealing with. Personaly… As for the clothes customization I think it should be fix to avoid confusion and exploit, performances/servers issues.

I think clothes change is gonna come with different map climate, it shouldn’t go beyond clothes color (camo or not) imo. Which we can instantly adapt to.

The GDF is a military organization, which army let its soldiers choose their uniform? :o :huh: :shock:

And anyway, I bet there will be server sided skin packs just as they are in W:ET, so there will be some variation sooner or later, but not for each individuum but only for one side as a whole (which is good, because I can’t even count the teamkills I made just because the german CovOps was suddenly wearing green cammo, looking just like the allies, thanks to some skin-pack).
