What about historical uniform skins?

[Razicator]

Imagine fighting a war and looking good at the same time! Everything from modern formal dress uniforms to the historical overthetop ones! Here's some inspiration.

While you're at it, do you want us to all line up in a line as infiltrators not turning invisible with our sniper rifiles with no scopes and all fire then reload like in civil war days?

But historical skins, maybe not. I wouldn't mind other kinds of skins. This is like my gun skins idea, being able to make them look like modern day weapons, many people will shoot this idea down. :(

There is a fine line between "customization" and "Planetside Heroes".
It is the line between greatness and sillyness, and IMHO we should not cross that line.

I think Zebra camo is the limit to the sillyness factor I will accept for PS2.

The Pith helmets RULE! :D

I don't see why not. They'd be able to make a buck off of it, and they've already established they're cool with really silly skins. Why not have historical skins? Lets get some World War 2 skins. Maybe even some EverQuest skins for the one or two people who actually like that game. At Christmas we can get Christmas skins, too.

This is 100% serious by the way and I bet the OP was also. Why is zebra skins or giraffe skins okay but having weird British soldier skins not? Hell, why shouldn't there be skins that are big Union Jacks, or Stars and Stripes? Saying silly animal skins are okay but, ooh, skins that reference historical stuff isn't okay is dumb. Either go balls out or keep it straight. One ball out doesn't do anyone any good. What can you do with one ball? Gott Damm Nuthin'.

Haha I was honestly not being serious. Most of these skins would require model changes, which is a great deal more work with animation and such rather than simple skin changes like patterns and colors. It would be funny, but I wouldn't like seeing real world equivalents in the game, it'll look too out of place.
