They look like they have balls on there shoulders... lol....

[Alduron]

Eh.

VS and NC look better IMO.

you might be right.
they will be well dressed corpses :D

Posted as news and updated your OP. :)

[Vancha]

Both empires are boring compared to VS, but this one seems the most in need of some love. The jetpack looks cool, as would the goggles if they weren't so comedically large, but the rest?

If the blandness was really necessary as a "blank canvas" for all the customization of colour schemes and accessories, I could understand it, but then how come the basic VS model gets to look so interesting?

[DayOne]

The style certainly suits them. Shame it's so dull.

[Trolltaxi]

It looks like real thing actually - well, not the jetpack. I like the materials, the colours, the details. Look at the lowest part of the breastplate (bellyplate actually)! It is designed in a way that it is compatible with the belt (when he leans forward).

The bee-visors are a bad touch though...

[Death2All]

Helmet+goggles on that guy just look goofy.


Thank goodness for CUZZ TIM MUH ZAY SHUN

[DayOne]

I'm thinking that the addition of a mask that covers up the rest of the face would make the goggles less of an issue and possible look pretty cool.

[Graywolves]

For some reason, whenever I look at TR I always just look at the uniform and love the uniform.

[DayOne]

I'm serious, zoom in on the picture.. I think it's concept art, not a rendering.

It does look amazingly detailed. If you look at the face though, that definitely isn't concept art.

[BlazingSun]

It is a plane! .... It is a TR Light Assault trooper! ... No it's a FLY!

Those goggles ... seriously .....

[Bags]

Well, BR1 armor in planetside 1 was bland.

[Raymac]

I'm glad they got rid of the Eye of Sauron belt buckle dick target. Then again, that may be a customization feature. I'll still probably try to shoot you guys in the balls.

[Bags]

That was also 2003. Happy birthday fucknut.

I don't understand how the release date is relevant?

[Psi]

Random factoids are the best troll defenses. :D

[NewSith]

That plating on his chest really makes me want to give a punch or two at his solar plexus. Military habbit I guess...

[VanuMAXGuy]

Why do barely any of these make it to the official website? Facebook exclusive = bad marketing.

[Shotokanguy]

Come on, we already saw what they looked like in the first screenshot this week! Don't just give us 3 screenshots of each of them again.

I hope something interesting happens next week.

[WiteBeam]

So tomorrow will be NC light assault?

I want to see a higher ranking uniform to see how they gain more empire color.

[Talek Krell]

[Fenrys]

Yeah, I would never even hear about this stuff if it weren't re-posted on PSU. A little more than a year ago FB tipped over the wrong side of the edge between useful and annoying. I deleted my account and have never regretted it.

[Geist]

I don't understand people. TR Light Assault is by far the best of the 3 besides the bug eye goggles(but even that can be forgivable with a full helmet+face mask). It just looks so cool and practical... Oh well, guess my personal taste just differs.

:trrocks: :vssucks: :ncsucks:

sadly, i was thinking the same thing...

[DDSHADE]

I've always been one for TR - but those goggles look worse than in PS1. Please give the option to remove them :/ I know the TR design scheme works with Circular shapes, and the NC Squares and VS Triangles... but PLEASE Just take away those goggles or make them look more like the sunglasses in PS1

thanks.

Agree completely. Goggles definitely need a change.

TR is the empire for REAL men, our balls are so big we have carry them on our shoulders!

Where are your balls NC and VS?

[TerminatorUK]

I actually rather like this model!

Assuming a 'base' starting model that will change with BR and/or can be customised, I think this is a good starting place.

You have to put it in some context - the weapons/characters look 300% better once they are inside the Forgelight engine and have some lighting applied.

Scaled over hundreds of troops, it'll still look impressive.

[Canaris]

another TR triumph! :)

[Talek Krell]

The goggles are removable. Some of our older screenshots show troops without them. And there is a gasmask that covers the lower face. All this presuming that they haven't changed things in the intervening period, but I don't see why they would.

[Stvo]

I did some photoshopping :>

I think those goggles look better and i made him look higher battle rank lol

[Warborn]

The TR helmets look really good when they're fully enclosed and don't have the nose/mouth area exposed. So hopefully that's an option players will have, whether to use partial or fully enclosed helmets.

ZE GOGGLEZ! ZE DO NOTHING!

[WiteBeam]

So you think they should have the armor gain more empire color(red, yellow or teal/purple) as they gain rank? Then at the final rank have them black like in PS?

Personally I think that armor design will be a cash shop operation.

That's a good point. What else could be in the cash shop but armor style and color upgrades? We've been told there won't be anything power related.

Some guesses:
-Double XP for [time]
-Double 'resources' for [time]
-Cash for 'resources'
-Unlimited [equipment/vehicle that usually costs resources] for [time]

[stordito]

i'll spend hard on a Penis helmet for light assault,so i can use it with the titanium testicle jetpack.

[SpLiTNuTz]

After seeing these I'm defiantly going TR. bye bye VS. :D

[Dreamcast]

Wow man...This is just unfair for TR...


Shitty looking grey+horrible goggles....Who in the hell is gonna be TR

Yeah it's not like you can get more color when you level up or customize or buy stuff in the cash shop or anything.

Nope, stuck forever grey.

Come on they still havn't showed a red n black TR yet.


Even me a die hard TR guy is having second guess...I wonder how a n00b will be like....I mean even if higher rank gets black and Red, most people wont want the shitty grey.


The only colors I seen have alot of grey in it....The one with the spikes in the head, the heavy armor is like greyish brown or kind of gold.


So far no black and Red.


If they sell black and red then that is a dick move IMO since TR=Black and Red....Thats like selling purple and green to VS or Blue and yellow to NC.

I think his point is that even the base-level should look somewhat cool/interesting. As it is, you'd be levelling up not to look better, but to stop looking bad.

Edit: Or not. *shrug*

[Graywolves]

Gray is my favorite color.

The low level looked like ass in Planetside 1, so I'm not expecting that to change.

Seems like the sort of thing that could be fixed in PS2, considering the art team it's got.

Funnily enough, I'd say low-level TR got the short end of the stick in PS1, too.
