Link doesnt work for me and the pics dont show up either :(

[CToxin]

that's odd. not sure what to do to fix that.

[AThreatToYou]

i guess NC getting july 4th would make sense

even tho america is pretty bad at being NC

also, here's to hoping the NC get a tophat
or a pirate hat, like cap'n jack sparrow!

I'd be more interested in seeing something like this:

If the NC do get that beret. As TR im way more jealous, berets are bad ass..

Also to all TR, Glorious Armistice day to you all. My the Lord Emperor guide your bullets into the heads of our enemies.

[MBVS]

I wonder what the other faction holidays will be. Someone already suggested 4th of July for NC, that would make sense if SOE doesn't care about using country-neutral holidays. But WTF would the Vanu holiday be? When the next iphone comes out?

[Ertwin]

Vanu get Wormhole day.

[Canaris]

That Hat, IT WILL BE MINE! :D

Just wowzers, been kind of meh over the releases of cosmetic gear recently other than camo's of course and I didn't think it would play a big part of the game for me, I never got it in TF2 but I have to say Matt Broome & his team stormed back in with the TR Dreadnought Helms, now proudly on my HA, Med, Engineer and the Ogre armour for the MAX.
This Commissar hat will be sported on my LA, kinda a half shame since he looks a bit like cobra commander already with the composite helm. still it's a freaking Commissar Hat! *drool* I'll make do :D
Oh heretics and rebels BEWARE!

The only tiny little thing I hope or wish for with it is an option for goggles on, my eyes won't be protected and who knows what I could get in them.

[Nur]

I bet this thing will cost an awful lot of SCs...

Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!

Also If a Terran does not serve in combat, he'll serve on the firing line!

[Vashyo]

Since I suppose all item prices grow with the cool-factor I'd expect this to cost 20$?

[Baneblade]

We better not get a beret.

[HiroshiChugi]

We better not get a beret.

I hope we do. :P

[camycamera]

Team Fortress-side 2 lol

just wait untill they add workshop support... bring on the top-hats, baby! :lol:

[NewSith]

I still don't seem to be understanding why it has a glowing stripe on it...

[ThatGoatGuy]

I still don't seem to be understanding why it has a glowing stripe on it...

To look Beautifuuuul.

[Canaris]

See even the Black & Red can make someone like TRay(Mr Vanu) look great :D

unless that represents Matt Broome, then he just continues to look awesome in varying degrees of greatness hehe

[Snipefrag]

holy shit awesome.. TAKE MY MONEY :D !

[Hamma]

Is that new Armor also?

Edit: Updated OP

[Staticelf]

I cant wait to see what the Vanu get! (sarcasm font).....example #476 of why Vanu get crap weapons/gear because we don't have a true "Vanu Dev"

Woo charge pistol wooo! It will look so cool charging as I get knifed by an NC lvl2

[Hypergrip]

I still don't seem to be understanding why it has a glowing stripe on it...
"Why did you put that glowing stripe on the hat?" - "We just reviewed the sales figures for the vehicle glow stripes..."
As an NC player, I can only applaud the TR for the great idea to equip their officers' caps with headshot markers (and that full body concept even has a glowing bull's eye at the crotch?).

For the NC that Commando Barret doesn't look too bad. It could also imagine a bandana and/or a Rambo-style headband/bandeau. Then add cool looking sunglasses and a beard... i give you the Space Biker.

Possible dates für the NC "holiday" could be:
July 30 - The day the term "New Conglomerate" was coined in 2630.
Then there is the "Liberty's Call massacre" (I can't find a date for that). The NC is described to be founded on the same principles, and it makes sense for the NC to have a sort of "remembrance day".
Also a candidate is January 2, 2642, the day martial law was declared as a response to insurgents taking over the bridge of a fleet ship by force.
And if everything else fails we can always celebrate the day Nanite Systems finished their first shotgun. We love our shotguns. We even strap them to the nose of your planes!

lol, the lead graphic designer is vanu :huh:

[Tapman]

Ze goggles, zey do nothing!

[Lonehunter]

Very nice, I expect a barrett for NC

[Canaris]

lol, the lead graphic designer is vanu :huh:

don't worry Snipefrag, Matt Broome the art director got our backs :D

Ze goggles, zey do nothing!
I tweeted Matt but as I said there it's probably to late in the game for a goggles down option but you never know.

[bpostal]

...I can only applaud the TR for the great idea to equip their officers' caps with headshot markers...

If y'all had to deal with some of our officer/leader types (Including myself), you'd be praying for the arrival of a bored NC sniper to take notice as well.

[Boildown]

The NC should get a Space America baseball cap, extra 500 SC for the mesh back version.

[Boildown]

Also, how long till we can buy this stuff inreal from Jinx.com or whatever?

[Vanir]

Nice to see some influence from Warhammer 40,000! :D

[AThreatToYou]

they should have given it a gasmask with a tube now that I think about it.

but DKoK are just one faction in 40k

[Chaff]

.
Personally, I don't get the Comissar hat. I think it's redonkulous - but I actually like it on that level.
.....sems like it cries out ...... "HEY SHOOT ME" ..... just BEGGIN' to be HeadShotted by an Infiltrator ....

Whatever they do for the NC or VS, it has to be FUN. Berets have been done and seems a bit meh.

I like the NC Space Biker idea someone said earlier - could be a great mix of hilareous, outlaw biker, & cool.... a range of bandanas & shades for NC would work.

VS could get neon head bands and a set of Dr Beats headphones ? [kidding]

Maybe super low-profile skull caps with custom logos ?
Maybe a skull cap that looks like a circuit board - sort of Borg-Brain "look" .....
.

I would actually wear headphones lol

Now that would be badass (http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model99).

NC doesnt need a stinking dandy beret.

A boonie hat or a beanie/watch cap would be cool

[Shogun]

vs get a strap on unicorn horn that glows in the dark and sparkles!

it´s just a small step to planetside fortress hat ridiculousness now, so who cares?

[Hamma]

Now that would be badass (http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model99).

Was waiting for someone to jump on that :lol:

No.... We need this.

Thats actually a TR spy... you can tell by the goggles :)

[Koadster]

Sub-faction*

They are still part of the imperium of man and use the IG Codex

[Dougnifico]

I don't get it. How is the commissar hat so rediculous? It follows the lore. The hockey masks were what brought silly into head wear.

[Phantomdestiny]

also the death korps of krieg are the most bad ass sub-faction of the imperial guard :) freaking ww1 sci-fi is bad ass

[Figment]

What's with the Tron armours though? :x

It also makes a normal decoy gal into the god of decoy gals. AA doesn't even know other aircraft exist when lumifiber gal bats it's eyelashes at them.

[KarrdeBRBU]

NC should def get a beret. That's classic PS (BR25) helmet off. No idea what VS should get though. Maybe some kind of holographic HUD?

no shit

I use the Blinking Lumifiber effect by turning it on and off as I fly over

SHINY+BLINKING=Liberator/Galaxy/ESFs coming behind Cloak Mode!

Goes like this: Galaxy coming in...one of twelOH ITS BLINKING KILL IT WITH FIRE!

[Shuuda]

Having gone into the game and seen the new hat's preview in the round for myself I'm convinced that it is not nearly as ridiculous as some are making it out to be. That said, I'm not sure such an item is to my taste.

[Falcon_br]

I will buy it, but I won't use it with my infiltrator or maybe not with my light assault.
It will looks great on my heavy assault and medic, maybe with the engineer, that I already use the maniac helmet and I think it is great since it got camuflage on GU 08.
I just wanted to know how is the infiltrator going to cloack his face without a mask, but I already knows the awnser: Nanites!
Link with all classes using it, too bad you can't use it on max to be the biggest, Bad Ass motherfucker commander on the field ever!
http://imgur.com/a/Wb4HE
I will use it with the veteran camo they just gave us, or the alpha squad one, it would look very, very awesome with the bugged digital TR camo, to bad they fix it.
So in the end I got:
Composite for inf and max.
Commissar for medic and heavy.
Maniac for engi.
Nothing for LA :(

[Canaris]

Nothing for LA :(

well now that depends I think the TR composite helmet looks brilliant on the LA and don't forget the new Dreadnought helms, they're just WIN :thumbsup:
I'll be wearing the Commissar hat on my LA exculsively I think tho
"Who's that coming in your window, oh dear it's Commissar ME!":D

I do find myself that most of the helms for the Infiltrator to be bobbleheadish even in the composite armour.. if you can call it armour ;) and not my cup of tea, so far he's the only one that I don't have anything for. Maybe the TR shemagh version might suit an Infil *crosses fingers*

I really don't play much with light assault, even having a max level with the jump jets, but I also don't play as a medic and I also got the medic tool and the healing aura on max lvl...
The storm trooper helmet really didn't look good for me, maybe I will get when it get on sale, but is is just too big for most classes, I will maybe only use it with heavy assault with composite armor, in the other classes it is too damn big!

Hey guys, we got new helmets on the test server!
Looks like helmets you can open and close the visor!
I saw some pictures, but not good ones!
We need more info! MOAR!

[ChipMHazard]

I will definitely be wearing my commissar hat with my medic. What can be better than a medic who will keep you at the front line one way or the other.

On that note I have been trying to get an answer from the devs about the pricing of the commissar hat; will it be 1000 for all classes or will it be buyable for each class individually. So far SOE has ignored me.:mad:
Anyone know that answer to this? I'm guessing that it will be 1000 certs, but...

[Emperor Newt]

A vortex buff. Now comets are completely useless.

[Shuuda]

A vortex buff. Now comets are completely useless.

Did they nerf Comets into oblivion as well or something? Sorry, but doesn't it occur to you that just because A got buffed into being slightly better than B it does not automatically mean that B became unusable. People have the same ridiculous notion with SMGs, complaining that since the second gen are slightly better that invalides that first gen SMGs. I think that's what they say, but I can't really hear them over the sound of me killing scum with my Armistice.

Hehe, QFT :D

Also, I suspect the Comet remains the more versatile of the two - it's actually not bad for killing infantry, especially in the default Quasar + Comet loadout.

[TheFramptonator]

I like the new TR 'Commissar Hat', as I am part of the RSG on Cobalt, I and another person are Commissars in our outfit. This wil work perfectly, me gusta! :)

[Hamma]

Did this show up in game today?

[CrimsonTemplar]

Indeed they did.

[VaderShake]

Indeed they did.

Pics??
