Notice the characters?

Check out the new TR webpage www.terranrepublic.com

Look at the faces in that header graphic.. anyone think that these look a helluva lot more detailed and "gritty" realism than the faces we've seen in the older screenshots? They're so far more detailed and wonderful looking I hope they're not some photoshopped CG heads for the webpage.. dig up some older screenies and look at the constipated squintiness of the old faces, and tell me you aren't hoping they look like this new set.

The TR heads look much better than heads even in BF1942 and other games out now.. they just have a "weight" to them, unlike the cartoonish charicatures UT2k3 has. I remember Dave said something about them re-doing all the faces, and if this is the final product, I can't wait to see more :O

[Jinxmasta]

They might look a little better but they're all the same!

[Hamma]

Yes our "anonymous" sony poster about a month ago said they were re-working the heads :D

[Zarparchior]

The heads may look better by leaps and bounds, but...

Those goggles... They still do nothing. ;)

[Jinxmasta]

Oh yes, the goggles. What were they thinking when they made them? If they took the goggles out I would be TR 100% but I'm still having doubts and that is ALL because of the goggles. I like their weapons, vehicles, and colors better than any other empire but goggles... Come on devs, lose the goggles and get something more like the NC but make it so we can choose if it's transparent or not.

[RocketFodder]

Jinxmasta = idiot

If you can't tell or appreciate the difference in the faces, please go back to your atari 2600.

I like teh goggles. Look at the goddamn faces in the PSU banner.. they look like shit

[Jinxmasta]

I meant the faces in the banner were all the same faces. Not the new ones compare to the old ones. So don't call me an idiot and I still think goggles look very geeky.

[Zarparchior]

I :love: teh goggles. I was just bringing up a "kinda" inside joke. Ever watch the simpsons? Ever see the episode where Milhouse becomes Fallout Boy for the Radioactive Man movie? Yeah... Great stuff. :D

I totally agree with Rocket on this one. Diversity is king and tyrant. The goggles get the :thumbsup: in my book.

But they still do nothing. :cool2:

[Jinxmasta]

They could still make the goggles look cooler instead of a perfect circular shape. Maybe more ovalized (is that even a word?) or something like that. Right now, all the TR look like geeky scientists or something...

[RocketFodder]

Did you ever consider they just used one face as a sample for that graphic? Why do you think I want to see the rest so badly?

[Jinxmasta]

Well then let's hope that they have more...

[Nubi]

and that they look better then that

[Hamma]

Im sure there will be plenty more, I think that face looks great and it is DEFINATLY somthing newer than we have seen before. As for the goggles, somthing so trivial is not going to make me reconsider my empire :lol:

Who knows, maybe the hot Vanu chicks will like them. :brow:

Reason for the goggles:

The TR is a buncha cheepo's and cares so little about their troops they wont waste money on face playes, you get goggles. Deal with it.

[�io]

I was sure he was gonna say "those old folks need them glasses to see". :)

[Tobias]

they do.

[RocketFodder]

Two awesome examples of new faces:

w00t, those pwn, i can't wait to leave them lifeless on the floor.

[SandTrout]

Its about time we got some more head.

It's more expsensive to make a set of goggles than it is to bolt a piece of reinforced plexiglass or whatever it is onto a helmet. The goggles are made of several materials, and need to be assembled as they're not like faceplates where they're just one big piece of shaped glass.

Also, FYI, goggles or faceplates aren't gonna do dick against a bullet :)

[Tobias]

Things that full masks do that helm +goggles dont:
Gas masks,
Keep insects from flying up ones nose.
protect a little from shrapal. (i.e. less chance of that frag granade killing you and taking your eyes out, now it will just kill you)
Face plates look 57% cooler then Goggles.
Visors look 39.4% cooler then goggles.

[Jinxmasta]

Well what if the glass shatters? Then your eyes will be hurting real bad...

[Tobias]

wha if some one use's chem weapons, then the TR troopers are all hurtin real bad.

[Incompetent]

your suits aren't pressurized either

[Warborn]

Gas masks

I'm sure if there was any possibility of TR soldiers encountering gasseous weaponry they'd be outfitted with gasmasks too :)


Keep insects from flying up ones nose.

Vanu scores! The bugs shall defeat the Republic!


protect a little from shrapal. (i.e. less chance of that frag granade killing you and taking your eyes out, now it will just kill you)

In the age of metal body-armor, I doubt that a shard of metal from an anti-personnel grenade would be stopped by a visor.



Face plates look 57% cooler then Goggles.

Incorrect! They're precisely 59.3% cooler.


Visors look 39.4% cooler then goggles.

This is true.

[Powerflux]

Goggles = teh suck.

[Zarparchior]

Goggles = teh :love:

[�io]

Teh?

[Hamma]

Teh = The

Sometimes i find myself typing teh as if its the right spelling :ugh:

[�io]

I thought it was "the" but both of them typed "teh". I thought maybe it was some PS term i have yet to hear about. :)

P.S.:Try hitting preview guys. ;)

[Powerflux]

I meant to type teh... I always type teh whenever I refer to somthing sucking..

Usually
teh suck
or
t3h suck

[Jinxmasta]

Or you could just say, they suck. Just a thought...

[Tobias]

aye, i hate teh! i :love: the!

[Powerflux]

they has an extra letter

bloody hell, i love those stealth suits, so sweet....... the chick does look better though, as they should.... i would be very scared if i found myself saying "guys in skin-tight clothing look hot", curse the thought.... arrrr.

so yeah NC stealths......... F'in yo 411 u|o ;)

[Tobias]

but they have nothing on Hot Vanu chicks in stealth armor. Our stealth armor is so tight fitting you can see the Hot Vanu chicks nipple rings!

[m0rphiu5]

really, where is this pic you speak of, im yet to see it.... show me

[Tobias]

pic? Im talking about the club all us Vanu hang out at.....why would we take pics? Its in Sector 341 on cont Omega 4. I would invite you to come over but you have to be Vanu, so if you and your NC friends came over the Hot Vanu Chicks would Asimulate you in a way most kinky.

[Jinxmasta]

Sorry but there are no non-Vanu allowed in our |337 club with hot Vanu chicks. Sorry, it's just the rules.
