Would be c@@l if we could include pic of ourself on soldier

As in NHL2000 … to be able to import a profile pic of yourself onto the face skin of your soldier. That would add an interesting element to the game especially when playing against friends.

I’d end up crashing everyone’s computer due to the huge polygon count of my nose!

Great, it already takes too long to download all of the maps and mods every server is running (even with DSL); now you want me to download a couple dozen pics of people when I attach to a server as well? No thanks, I don’t need to see a picture of the person I just fragged, its enough to know that I gunned them down, and that my gernade just blew them into limbo, my imagination can do the rest (it may not be accurate, but its probably better than what I would actually see).

lets be realistic, that pic doesnt have to be larger then 5 kb. So for 20 players its 100 kb. WOW! One whole second on a slow dsl line :eek:

I think that most reasonable server admins would rather not be bothered with this because of the potential for abuse. Who knows what some lamos (or not so) could think of to put in place of their faces…

You also need to consider how often you actually get close enough to somone to see their face in a typical firefight. Even at close range you probably are not paying that much attention to what their face looks like. It might be nice to help distinguish one teammate from another, but the fireteam interface does this much better.

take a look at the skins for the et faces. i doubt anyone will spend that much time arranging multiple photographs of themselves to get a pic on their character.
