Whats the deal with the enormous shin pad? Is that a CR1 bonus?

For command rank increases there are added things onto armor so it may be a new thing for CR1

it must be pretty easy to get cr1 if hamma got it in 2 weeks of beta playing for two days a week

Jeez, one shin pad? What is this, "Accoutrements! Collect them all!" :lol:

Maybe futuristic militaries aren't big into symmetry.

Terran Elite Airborne Regiment

Or maybe Hamma is all buggy! That could be you know, ERROR LOADING SECOND SHIN PAD and they try to cover it up with an excuse like this that shows up on screen "YOU WERE LATE FOR BATTLE SO U DRESSED IN A HURRY AND ACCIDENTLY FORGOT UR OTHER SHIN PAD, PLZ WAKE UP ON TIME NEXT TIME!"

LOL.

Jeez.

That huge shin pad is just hilarious. It looks so funky, lol.

I think it should be mandatory that you can't get a shin pad unless you have a thigh pad too. I mean, the commander in the nvidia shots looks so funny with skinny legs and huge-ass ankle warmers lol.

I like the big shin pads but it seems weird to have just one.
The neck brace looks really wacky.

Anybody seen any commander addition screenshots for the NC or VS?

Wonder how the commander fom the nvidia shot would look in different armor. Could be cool for the next set of screen shots.
