Also hate us because of our phallic armour.

T-Ray is pulling some strings with the art, but maybe it's just to make up for Higgs' doing against our gameplay.

Edit: All this talk about phallic backpacks is just jealousy because we have the best medic suit! And light assault... and MAX... and weapons... shhhh ^.^

I'd like to point out it's your VS talking about phallic gear..... also like i said earlier. DEVIANTS the lot of you!
*Note to Empire, never be taken alive by VS, unless your into that kind of thing.

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

I know alot of you are loving the VS models, and good for you especially if you're playing as VS - but I want to add my 2 pennies...

VS new tactic, the enemy won't shoot them because they'll be too busy laughing.

I have to agree with this for now... parts of it look cool but then theres elements like the fact that his bum seems to be smaller than his thighs which looks odd.

I do really like the infiltrators look though, just the fancy bits of armour coming off the body of some VS models can look wrong. Anyone else think this or just me?

The mask could get some more work but overall it looks nice.

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

I love this style! Not 100% about the green of the mask, but it does have the TV-typical clinical appeal to it. I could see a pilot's helmet looking very similar, but with a suction mask and hose setup that a diver or pilot would use. The helmet is just so simple, clean, and functional. I like the rest of the suit too, though the white gauze-looking rolls look out of place, because it makes me stop and think, "If a wound needed gauze, wouldn't it just be easier to shoot the patient and have the nanites clone them?" lol...

I love the look of the NC Light Assault sooo much more!

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

To be perfectly honest, I think it's one of the most tacky uniforms I've seen for a class. I don't know what it is but something about it I just find horrible.... course I'm not VS, so I suppose that's a plus

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

Everything is good, except the mask IMO. Looks out of place and weird.

Eeeeh. The VS light assault has more spikes and neat details, but I have to agree, I do like the fact that the NC guy has a work shirt on under his armor. It really accentuates the fact that they're supposed to be commonfolk and farmers.

One thing I always found weird was how the NC were supposed to be rebels with all stolen or salvaged/handcrafted arms, yet all of their weapons seem to be as professional-looking (if not more) as the TR.

I really thought they were going to fix that in PS2. If anyone here has played Brink, have sort of a "Security (TR) vs. Resistance (NC)" thing going, where the NC would have all painted and duct-taped weapons, and TR has nice clean ones. NC weapons should look like this:

But alas, they get fancy weapons again :|
I guess I shouldn't mind so much, being a sworn Vanu, but I just think it would be nice if it went along with the "lore" :P

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

Don't go down the lore path, or I'll argue that lorewise NC works for the big corporate leaders and also have mercenaries with them. Both of the two are very likely to have money for shiny gear

Lorewise the NC are a very diverse group, and I don't think you can pigeonhole it all to "rebels with only salvaged stuff".

Hell, many mercenary groups have shinier stuff than the actual hell and back gear military sometimes has

As a NC by heart, I absolutely hate being forced to have the "hell and back" gear. At least we have good looking weapons in that sense.

That said, if SOE wants guaranteed money for me, they put the NC armor/gear on cash shop that is less worn out. I don't want assembly line quality, cos thats equally stupid, but so that most of the paint is still intact

Especially some of the earlier screenshots we saw, some of the armor plates were probably lacking closer to 50% paint

Re: VANU SOVEREIGNTY MEDICS

Hmm I know the effect they are trying to achieve here but that mask...ughh...not great.

The teal coloured areas are too much and "in your face" - needs toning down a bit.

Did the helmet also need to be silver? Again, looks out-of-place and would be better if it was purple.

Not bad overall though...
