They all look pretty good, just don't like the little random triangle thingy on the TR stomach.

Though that VS helmet is sex.

[CutterJohn]

All three look awesome.

Minor nitpicks:

VS - Helmet color does not match uniform color
NC - Looks well armored enough to be standard armor
TR - The triangle thing on the stomach should probably go.

[DayOne]

Nerdgasm.

It's...everywhere!

[DayOne]

VS - Helmet color does not match uniform color - We've seen renders of the VS infil before but with a black helment, likely changeable via customisation.
NC - Looks well armored enough to be standard armor - it is the NC way, they're built to be persistent!
TR - The triangle thing on the stomach should probably go. - if they attach a belt to it it would look pretty sweet.

My two cents.

[polywomple]

I'm liking the NC's alot

[DayOne]

I'm liking the NC's alot

They have Alots (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html)? We'll we're screwed

[Atheosim]

Although the VS and NC infil armors look awesome, I think the TR one looks most like a stealth suit.

[SpLiTNuTz]

All look very good.
My little nit pick is the VS helmet should be the same colour as the rest of the armor.
But thats just me.

Also while I'm here it would be ideal if we could turn off/on helmets or even buy the ability not to wear helmets from the cash store as i don't really like them :( lol.

[Vancha]

The TR infiltrator reminds me of the foot clan from one of the early TMNT movies...

VS' is probably my favourite, although I think they all look pretty good.

[Hmr85]

The NC Cloaker suit looks great. I really love the helmet.

[SuperMorto]

AND HOLLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 em!

[Warborn]

They look great. I'm really glad they decided to do away with the whole "TR must have their faces exposed" thing. I hope the MAX also winds up with a proper face-covering, as the concept art they had for it was awesome except for the goofy exposed face with goggles part.

But yeah, they're great. TR looks like a Foot Clan ninja which is just fine.

[Coreldan]

NC > VS > TR

TR sure got the shortest stick in this one lol.

[Coreldan]

Oh, missed this thread, gonna just repeat myself. EDIT: Actually no, I will alter what I said!

NC = VS > TR.

TR sure got the shortest stick in this one lol.

[basti]

Strange, it just got tweeted. Where the hell did that guy get this image that early? :D

[SKYeXile]

needs more female pics.

[captainbaka]

they all look awesome, NC's is sick.NC's Kind of looks like the EVA helmet from halo 3.

[basti]

How da hell did you get your hands onto this an hours before it got tweeted? :eek:

[bmfof]

What do you mean? Isn't the VS one female?

[Zhane]

What do you mean? Isn't the VS one female?

Uhh. No?

[DayOne]

What do you mean? Isn't the VS one female?

That's one butch female.

[Tikuto]

lmao tight squeeze on NC there. :eek:

[NewSith]

If this was a screenshot of 3 female cloakers playing with each other, I would have said most impressive. But that's not it so I'm gonna say impessive as usual.

[Mightymouser]

lmao tight squeeze on NC there. :eek:

Both the NC and VS seem to have a very strange cod piece proportions... It looks like their hips have been removed and their thighs just attach to their waists; maybe it's just the picture angles?

[Shogun]

the vs one may have no balls like all vs, but this doesn´t mean it´s a female ;-)

[FastAndFree]

NC and VS look beast.

TR looks like they're bringing out the gimp

http://yfrog.com/z/esyzchsj

Funny, I liked the TR one the best. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side?

[Miir]

I'm a die hard vanu fan. But I have to say I think I like the look of the NC suit the best.

[bmfof]

I get sad when my subtle stabs are misunderstood and taken literally. :(

[NewSith]

I'm really thinking VS helm's size should be reduced. It looks like a bucket...
Also am I right in saying that helmets are different color (different brightness) than the bodies?

[millo]

I like the TR one the most, except for the boomer someone seems to have placed on the guy's navel.

[SuperMorto]

Oh, missed this thread, gonna just repeat myself. EDIT: Actually no, I will alter what I said!

TR sure got the shortest stick in this one lol.

the sticks:

they all look amazing!!!

Tramell tweeted this before the Planetside2 twitter account did.

[Graywolves]

I always dreamed of growing up to be a member of the foot clan.

Seriously dude, see their hide out in the movie? It's like Fight Club meets an awesome Arcade and activity center.

Like...speaking in its time period, their place was totally radical.

[IronMole]

No point looking cool as a cloaker, it's not as if you're going to be seen now is it? :p

[FastAndFree]

You will, when you drop dead. No time to look great like your last moments!

[Saintlycow]

NC = VS > TR

NC visor is too big

VS helmet colour clashes

TR looks like an early 1900's bi plane pilot.


But they do look quite nice

[Levente]

the nc looks like well, kinda like this :D

[Alduron]

Glad I'll be rolling NC again. It really does look awesome.

VS is pretty cool as well. Reminds me of the Ninja from the PS One Metal Gear.

The TR suit reminds me of some kind of skydiving getup for some reason. (it's still not terrible)

[exoteror]

Feel like I have seen the TR one somewhere before.
Maybe the hydra soldiers from the captain america film?

[Corax]

Anyone get the feeling of old school power rangers from these?

VS = the super powered bad guys

NC = Awesome power rangers (dibs on Green Ranger)

TR = The Basic bad guys that everyone beats up on.

With that being said I really do love the NC's look and feel above all the others.


(Man the TR really does look like a gimp suit or the footclan from TMNT...)

[Lonehunter]

I really love the NC helmet, and the whole style is great, but it does look just a tad too armored. The TR one just looks like they tried to add too much flare to give them the "top of the line and pricey" look. The Triangle, and that weird belt buckle (with no belt) just above the crotch. I feel like if I wear that I can pelvic thrust and a beam will come out like Iron Man

I like the VS armor but the helmet just stands out too much

[Alduron]

I hope this is a micro transaction option. Day 1 buy.

[Canaris]

I have room enough in my heart to love them all equally, just the VS & NC are going to get the bonus of hotlead thrown at them ;)

[eebster]

When I first saw the VS one a while back I must admit I was jealous!
Now that I got to see the NC, WOOHOOOO!!! seriously, they can't look anymore awesome then that! a cross between an infiltrator and a Biker!

[Satexios]

Even though I've always been NC I kinda like the TR one. Reminds me of Splinter Cell.

[stordito]

nc should be the "guerrilla combact" faction, that cloacker seems too much well equipped to be part of a defectors army...
TR one is LAME...wtf! looks like a masochist in black rubber and leather suit...
thanks god he can cloack, i would never go around dressed like that...

[Magpie]

I was thinking of swapping from NC to TR but after seeing the NC cloaker I can see myself only play NC Cloaker + New NC SMG im very happy with the NC weapons and art

NC For Life!!!

[Canaris]

Well when I'm in my TR cloaker suit ain't going to be a VS or NC locker room safe, shived or shanked in the shower, your choice hehe :lol:

[Justaman]

All three look awesome.

Minor nitpicks:

VS - Helmet color does not match uniform color
NC - Looks well armored enough to be standard armor
TR - The triangle thing on the stomach should probably go.

Agree on the VS and TR.
TR also looks a tad bit flashy for someone who's trying to hide.

All NC armor looks bulkier than the others, that's their schtick. Heavy armor looks almost like MAX, and MAX looks like they shoved a man inside a freight train with legs and arms.

NC isn't streamlined fasion. Its big, its tough, and it works. But that's it. Oh, and it was cheap.

[LZachariah]

I have no problem with the TR suit; looks very tech-ninja.

VS looks FUCKING amazing, and the NC suit is rockin', as well.

Nicely done, all around. Very pleased.

~Zachariah

[Tikuto]

Not sure I like the red color intensity on the TR torsoe... :nono:

[sylphaen]

I used to find the VS one to be the best, no contest. However, on this screenshot, I have to agree that the helmet and the suit do not fit together color/shade wise.

NC is nice but bland.

The TR is one design to love or hate but that look is greatly original. I like it a lot more than the boring NC design (almost identical to the NC PS1 design btw).


Great work by the staff.

[CrystalViolet]

TR does look a bit more "cosplay" than the other two.

[ikon]

i actually really dig the tr inf look

[GTGD]

VS one looks kind of dumb, but the NC one is fine. I'm one of the few that love the TR suit, looks like a ghost. Definitely cool to see that sneaking around.

The art team really did an incredible job with the TR stuff this time around, everything they have looks really good, if not the best. Mossy, prowler, rexo, cloak suit, MCG, ugh. I'm convinced, I'm TR next time around.

[Geist]

:'( And I was gonna go TR infiltrator. Hopefully I can customize the look a bit more(helmet, a little bulkier, etc). Always loved the NC cloaked... But TR forever!!!

[Atheosim]

I'm sure there will be plenty of customization options for the infil aesthetics, however hilariously contradictory they are.

I want my cloaker as close to a MAX as I can get it. :p

[WaryWizard]

TR reminds me of spiderman

NC reminds me of halo

VS reminds me of some anime I forgot

I like it

[Raka Maru]

I spend a lot of time in a TR stealth suit so bear with me while I adjust...

NC looks badass, VS too...

The TR, I guess I could get used to, but maybe it's supposed to look creepy? Don't know yet...

Awesome job tho!

[cellinaire]

All 3 look like Ninjas. lol

[Rabb]

Glad the TR one looks as good as ever. I'd be lost without my gimp suite.

[Sabrak]

nc should be the "guerrilla combact" faction, that cloacker seems too much well equipped to be part of a defectors army...

Meh!

Don't forget NC are also supposed to be corporations' mercenaries, even thought it doesn't show enough (to my taste) in the new designs.


Anyway, all three look awesome.
Each really do have a very different look compared to the others, gotta love it.

[Fenrys]

The VS remind me of Cylons - first the Raider style ES aircraft, and now the Centurion's helmet for their cloakers.

Yeah, according to lore the NC have more economic power, which IRL translates into more military power.

I did always find it strange that SOE took the "ragtag rebel" approach to the NC. You'd think with the backing of several MegaCorps they would have the best conventional equipment available, with the TR's strength being the fact that they are a professional military.

The mega-corps are on Earth. The NC are cut off from their funding.

[Geist]

The mega-corps are on Earth. The NC are cut off from their funding.

Even if they did, they've been there for a while. They've been exploiting the resources of the planet and the surrounding solar system for a long time and have obviously built up quite a large base of operations on Auraxis. If they didn't, they wouldn't be rebelling.

Not that your wrong, I just find it funny that any of the Empires are "ragtag freedom fighters", since their all supposed to be equal in strength.

[stordito]

Well, NC's combat style suggest a "bite and hide" approac that rebel forces uses against strongest enemies even today.
Yes they use common pool NS tech but in the original game i always pictured them as well organized fugitives, using guerrilla tactics,with stolen tech from VS and TR,low resources but very well motivated.

I speak as a TR, but most of the time we confronted i felt like NC used better tactics and moving small squads with a purpose, usually being more wise than us.TR on the other hand was more about first impact effect...
That's just my opinion i could be wrong but most of the time i was online ,when it came to tactics TR always got screwed...

so i expected more "rusty" equipment that they are showing now...
i know that it's just appearence but to me the NC is the fastest and deadliest, while the Vanu one is the geekiest..the tr one...meh...i dunno... feels wrong...
just my impressions...
in the end they will be almost always cloaked so who cares...
