We are cops...the Judge Dredd kind.

And BTW the colors red and purple are capital crimes.

The model is pretty awesome but the constrast of colours doesn't work for me.

The clothes underneath are too plain to suit the bright yellow and blue on top.

Still, very nice though :)

I sure hope we can customize that outfit to make it less chipped and dirty looking.

I don't worry about that.
I'm sure you can unlock some colorful pieces of armor to place on your legs/knees/other-places, which would reduce the contrast you pointed out.

Looks so much like Judge Dredd, I'm going to start referring to NC LA's as "Dredds"; as in, "Where are our damn Dredds, we need them over that wall ASAP!"

I would like to see that too, but looks wouldn't effect what empire I choose. That's how VS got all the nooblets.

No really, I am thankful that they are showing these and I respect that this is someones hard work, but my real suspicion (and hope) is this weeks theme has just been filler until GDC.

I think he looks amazing. And really captures what the NC where in PS1.

Good job folks!

I think they look great. Remember they said you could customize your colors and probably gear to. So I wouldn't worry about it to much. You might be able to opt for a full face helmet.

Thank you good Sir!

I assure you, however, that it looks MUCH worse then it sounds.

But then again, with that chick in your sig wearing a TR blindfold, i thought that you already knew that.

Overall IMO the best look. Well VS sorta looks coolest, but I'm not into the colour or the too scifi'ish design.

But I'm at the same time torn between liking it and not liking it. The design overall pleases my eye the most, but it's still so worn out. Having that + a bit further "high level armor" in a less worn out (and no, not assembly line-look, just a look that doesnt yell "hell and back") quality would be perfect.

This actually looks much better with some colour, assuming this is the lowest-level look for NC LA (isn't there supposed to be a ridge along the bottom of the visor? (http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/main/psnext/screenshots/20120302_4f50e955019d7.jpg))

Now I feel even worse for the TR LA.

I'm pretty sure both will be available one way or another.

I'm betting its a unlock that outfits can customize. Since ya know we can all look unique as the put it. That way outfits would be recognizable on the battlefield.

Cash shop man. The cash shop will probably have nothing but appearance customization options.

Knocky

2012-03-05, 01:14 PM

I'm looking at both helmets and the only real difference beyond the the colour that I can see is a strip around lower section of the glass visor, other than that they look if not the same then very, very similar.

Could be simply be a minor custom change choice?

Here is the link to the pix you can zoom in.

There is a lot more texture work and "parts" on it. It is not just a recolor.

It almost certainly has stuff that have nothing to do with customization as well.

That said, I doubt it's all cash shop. I doubt they are gonna make F2P have only one single look, which is armor we see in these pictures we just got today. Naturally F2P players will have much less options, but it seems extremely unlikely that a maxed out F2P player would look no different from a fresh F2P player.

I just don't see how there can be anything else without making the game pay to win. Unless they are bullshitting us.

2012-03-05, 01:42 PM

I'm willing to bet as posted above that it is a BR change or its a customization change that outfits can make when they have the ability to.

Yeah, hoping we can mod our armor to be black/blue/gold again :(

Looks pretty mediocre, but it's the basic/start armor I guess, so I'll let it pass.

I figure, but I don't see why they would show off the crappy looking visor when they have an amazing one made, and shown to us in the past.

I really wouldn't read to much into it. IMO, I think its just the look of the beginner armor for that class. They are just trying to give us a base (Default) look of the class before all the customization.

Bags

2012-03-05, 03:45 PM

I hope so. I can understand not showing all the best armor they've created, but they already showed us that great helmet... so I'm abit confused.

I think the LA in the OP is probably just an old version or something. I can understand making low-levelled classes look more basic, but there's no reason to have them looking worse.

:rofl: my sides...

But seriously, my condolences on the state of the NC LA. :p
I wasn't actually trash talking. I genuinely mean it. This NC looks better than the one in the initial line-up we saw, but the TR is still really boring. The goggles look okay, if not oversized and the backpack's good, but do you not find the rest to be rather boring? They look as civilian as NC...
