View Full Version : The new Terran vehicle scheme SUCKS.

I am sorry, but the new white Terran color scheme for vehicles SUCKS ASS. It just doesn't have the power that the old black color scheme did (the exception is on the arctic continents, where it actually looks a bit like a TR winter camo scheme.) Wish they'd change it back or give us an option to choose one or the other...

GET THE BLACK BACK IN PLANETSIDE! :nazi:

when did they change this?

Lise

Last patch, apparently the semi-stealth patch right after the Balance patch.

This MIGHT only affect people who are pre-downloading CC. If you're not seeing the new textures yet... be glad. :(

The mag is messed up at range, but when you get close its regular.

Yeah Mags look teal to me (same color as high BR VS) froma distance then switch back over to the regular scheme somewhere around 75ishm. Thought it was odd but didn't really concern me since when I see a Mag I'm usually either running or flying straight at it with my 35mm blazing :p

That says it all, I think. In the Sund images I got a bit of AMS and Skyguard too. (And yes, I've been getting white tracks ever since the change too. Wall turrets also lose their textures at range.)

i like the TR stuff, i haven't seen the NC changes cept in the vehicle term picks

Ew, ew and ew.

I did actually notice a long while back that in the vehicle terminals, quite a lot of TR vehicles look mostly silver rather than black - obviously this change has been planned for a pretty long time. The sad thing is they looked remotely decent in the preview pics, but those screenshots are disgusting.

Thank god this change isn't affecting me yet.

wtf...all the TR prowlers AMSes, and gals I saw yesterday looked fine. I guess they wanted the gal to look a little more like the VS and NC. which are hard to tell apart at great range.

need SS's. im grounded.


geez...are you ever NOT grounded? :rolleyes:

Its about time... I am sick of you guys looking so much cooler than us. Seriously though sometimes its almost impossibel to see dark black/red armor in a dark background area like night esamir or other such places. Only thing that makes them stand out are the little red nametags.

I like the white better, looks nice to me.

i got them mag change at distance which affects me because its either speeding towards me or running from my phoenix. I love the New NC look. The TR looks like TR Lite : now with less calories

NC look like Black Ops.

Cauldron Borne
2003-10-22, 07:24 PM
EWWWW how, uhh not different. Now it is gonna be even MORE of a pain to find out who is on who's side, EVERYONE looks alike at range... I think I shot down a GAL w/ my burster today, are you supposed to get 300 greif for knocking down NC gals?

Rbstr
2003-10-22, 07:34 PM
no, but its not that hard to tell all you need is zoom/adv targeting. Why do you think the army has friendly fire? its becuase people look like possible enemies. (humman error to somtimes)

Lise
2003-10-22, 07:38 PM
That's another problem I have - it's practically impossible to tell air units apart at range now. I keep thinking our stuff is enemy stuff and I waste time trying to aquire Striker lock. :mad:

Cauldron Borne
2003-10-22, 07:49 PM
I let loose with an entire clip of Burster ammo before the stupid name came up, green. the bloody thing died on me. I saw a BIG grey dot in the air, so I let loose, am I to blame here? Is it wrong that I fired at a possible enemy, stopping a possible attack? I'm sorry if it was you I killed. (anyone reading this post) :(

Looks so.......... bland. :doh: The old colors let off a more intimidating feel. The black and red was really cool too.

i always liked the terrans black and red vehicles...

I've been dreading something like this since i first saw the Skyguard and wondered why it was grey. Can't believe they would fuck with the colors, the new ones look like total shit.

Lol, the Devs Nerfed the TR color scheme!

The vehicle pads on Konried were rolling out jet-black Liberators for me all night. Looked kinda spooky.

Lise
2003-10-23, 05:28 AM
That's the weird thing. They didn't touch the Liberator for some reason. And I've heard rumor that it CAN be turned back to the old color scheme, I'll have to check tomorrow...

Most of them look like crap but the Sundy looks pretty damn sweet with the grey and black and red.

just think now we can claim to have snowy death reavers and snowy death tanks. What can the other empires claim? Purple of death? The Golden Killers?still the colors are not great i hope they make it all white with red stripes

GeistX
2003-10-23, 02:52 PM
Damn, the prowler and the black reaver were VERY cool. I hate to sound shallow but the black reaver was the whole reason I got a TR character on Konried.

I did notice that the VS reaver looks a little different now too (more purple).

Some of the vehicles, like the prowler, look horrible this way, others, like the sunderer and deliverer look better. This is of course, my simple opinion.

You know I've always had a problem with that. Always wondered why there wasn't some sort of HUD indicator over friendly aircraft. Something as simple as the corners of a green box could save a lot of headaches.

My question is: why did they change TR to gray? They should have changed the other empires to look as kool as TR did.

Gray = teh suck any way you slice it.

Hamma

I still havent seen the grey vehicles eveyrone is talking about, they are all still the same to me :confused:

You know. Now that I think about it. I shot down a TR skeeter today. Still as black as ever.

Thrik
2003-10-23, 09:29 PM
Hamma, did you pre-download the CC files? It's already been suggested in here that may be the cause.. if you haven't, well I dunno.

Guys, check the advanced tab in your video options. If the box for "Use High Res Vehicles" or something like that is unchecked, you will see the nasty paint job.

You think TR is bad...you should see the NC crap.
