News: NC Heavy Assault

[Levente]

reminds of the awkward power rangers design lol

[Rozonus]

Generally I love it but it could do with some tweaking. Either way I'll be covering it with custom items from the store and probably removing the helm if I have the option to, so it won't matter that much!

Regarding the clean, bright clothing under the armour... Perhaps we'll get to customise it as well as the armour? Who knows, maybe the different armour camos will also change the camo of the clothing.

Nope....now THIS looks like a powered exo-suit.

Well...every NC Armor i saw right now except 1 looked like a Lego Toy.

the only good looking one is the Infiltrator



Compare yourself....i know which i would take. Its good to be in the TR tbh. The TR HA looks 10 times more like a fucking badass reinforced Exosuit that made it possible to wade thru hordes of nmys and give them hell then the NC one.

I wasn't saying it had to be. I was replying to Newsith.

My criticisms are purely aesthetic ones.

Dam TR looks far more awesome. NC HA looks like medium assault at best, or light assault with more bits. It needs to look as cool as TR (look heavier, feel that it's HA, not like now...). It looks like it's missing some parts (elbows, neck)... Yeah, its medium assault.

Its actually better this way, we will evade all the kids who will be like "omg super pwnzor armor" and will join and flood the NC. This way only the true NC freedom fighters will remain true to their cause. Plus the NC are scavengers so it will look kinda stupid if they wear high tech professional armor. This armor also represents and stays true to the same NC 8 years ago.

Yeah, pretty much the only things I'd correct on NC HA is the calves and the neck.

Bring the back and sides of the calves up 2 inches and narrow the backwards facing surface by an inch.

The neck tho seriously needs a higher collar. Imagine it like something that would keep their head from getting slammed backwards and breaking their neck. Doesn't really need anything in front and maybe a little on the sides.

I don't like the helmet, neck and breast plate.


I don't know what it is about the helmet. I think the part of the helmet in front of the nose/mouth seems to stick out a lot, so it it makes it looks too much like the thing has a muzzle. I think if that was smooth out and made less sophisticated the helmet would look great.

The neck's too plain, there needs to be something there imo.



The arms and legs are awesome though

[Duddy]

For those saying that it doesn't look like a powered exo-suit;

Didn't REXO stand for Reinforced exo-suit, where MAX was Mechanised exo-suit?

So I think you have your answer there, it doesn't look powered because it isn't, it's reinforced and the only "powered" component is the nanite mesh.

[laelgon]

As others have said, I think it looks great except for around the neck area. Maybe just a different color, but a higher collar would be good.

That's better.

Looks pretty good - but where as the concept art screams awesome this more in the 'hmm kinda neat' catagory.

Gaps between plates can look ok depending on what's under them. Looks like regular cloth - couldn't it be something inbetween armour and a onesie?

I hope the character voice macro and chants are in planetside 2 otherwise it just won't feel like planetside
