more camo and less faction colors

[Roidster]

when you buy camo,at least the helmet should get camo,i find there is too much faction colors on you even when you have a camo suit,for the infil its not bad,but heavy has a ton of faction colors with the camo

but at least the helmet should get camo,and it would be cool if we could add foilage to the helmet as well

+1, and I'm looking forward to new helmets also ^^

(Given the nature of the ultra simplistic char creation i don't think it will be an option to remove the helmet by any means at any time - unfortunately, but oh well ^^)

I think less faction colours would lead to an even worse distinction between factions. There is enough friendly fire as is, I think it's pretty balanced right now.

But more helmets are definitely needed!

I have to agree with this one, even though there is enough friendly fire incidents going one, I think the faction color in the max suit is to much, I bought snow camo for my max and when I put it on you really cant tell to much, I was a little disapointed. I think the green arrow over the target should give it away that he is a good guy, but yes sometimes you just cant tell from a distance. When in dought whip it out I always say

When in doubt, hit Q..

Faction colors need to be more prominent, IFF was hard enough before the camo, now its even worse.

You know the enemy can hear you yelling out those Q reports. Don’t let me discourage you from hitting Q makes you easier to find.

Working out whether people (or vehicles) wearing camo are friends or foes would be less annoying if the name/triangle identification thing above their heads didn't bug out all the time.

I say lets just take a fith of a second to varify and then fire, lets not all hit Q.... thank you.

I mean there was a couple of times when Ive had air that was pretty far, I didnt see an arrow so I fired and got the annoying ass BOOOOGGGGG. I mean Im killed more flashes that have run in front of my Sundy than ive shot down or shot at friendlies.

^ this. Identification of friend or foe is sometimes tricky as it is, so prominent faction colours are a must.

To me the camo for soldiers looks pretty bad, there's too much of it. It basically looks like the soldiers wearing a camo onesie with armour stuck over it here and there..

I love the vehicle camo though.

Camos are cosmetic items. If they made them more functional they would be considered P2W.

I agree with this. I want to believe the purpose of camo's are to both give the player unique qualities, and retain the theme of Planetside as a sci-fi military shooter. I don't recall ever reading that the camo selection was intended to provide a tactical advantage. Infiltrators have enough at their disposal to be balanced, without blending into the environment completely. In short, camo's are vanity items, and I hope they stay that way.

[Canaris]

actually I'm of the opposite opinion, some of the camo atm makes people look like there from another faction already, I'd want some more faction specific colour on certain types tbh.

I think some classes do need a rework. Look at the VS heavy assault. The problem isn't necessarily the surface the camo covers but how it is spread across the character. A tiny patch here and there doesn't let you see the camo patterns well enough.
