News: VS Heavy Assault

[QuantumMechanic]

The PS1 Vanu rexo was my favorite rexo of all... And it still is now.

That helmet is sooo DEVO. D.E.V.O.

Suggestion: add cosmetic PS1 replica rexos to the item shop. People will buy them for the nostalgia factor.

[Bravix]

Maybe its like PS1 where you can get more color as you progress? Or alternatively buy

This. I am ok with a slight ridge on top, but that upside down axe look is not for me.

The VS take an artistic style using triangles and ornate designs. They are also Power Rangers.

[Vash02]

It doesent look finished to me, some parts of it look like they havent been coloured in yet.

Definite dinosaur vibes from the helmet for some reason. Fitting for the Barneys


Looks good to me!

HAH!
You reminded me of this...

Mass Effect 2 - A Bad Day for Gatatog Uvenk

There is a (little) bit of Krogan head to that "fin" on the helmet.

More seriously, I'm not a big fan of that VS HA. The others HA looked good, but this one... I don't know, it doesn't look that cool.
At least, the VS aren't the best looking in every armor!

[EZShot]

I'm kinda getting a medieval knight feel off the helmet, I like the armour but can't wait to get some more colour on it myself

[Vancha]

The helmet just looks silly, but the rest is nice. A little too much grey perhaps?

Actually I'd quite like to see the old VS rexo helmet come back...It almost seems too good not to reuse.

yea, really nice, he looks much better like this, hope they make an helmet like this, or the option of going no helmet at all

Isn't anyone bother by the lack of cool looking shin-guards ? I loved how the VS armor legs were set-up n PS1 (both for Agile and HA).

The PS2 HA is so thin around the legs and bulky at the torse that it really makes me think about a swimming athlete with huge upper body strength and less around the lower body.

Maybe it was meant to be in order to show how technologically advanced Vanu materials are and allow "body slim" armors but I do not like it. At least, the TR HA feels heavy and looks balanced. The VS HA just feels heavy.


IMO, the VS REXO looks have been downgraded from PS1 while the TR got a huge upgrade:

I miss those shin guards !

[Yaguer]

It can definitely be improved, and I sincerely hope so, because the overwhelming jelly-spread of gray is bore-infesting.

I actually like the helmet and upper-torso section a lot. The helmets visor could be blue like Planetside 1's, but than again I couldn't care much probably.

Has anyone noticed how... robotic and incredibly plank-stiff the soldiers boots are? Looks like no way his soles, or shoes bottoms could flexibly bend, at all lol. How is he going to walk properly?

[Arius]

Seriously guys. Customization. If you looked closely at pictures, you'd see a wide variety of soldiers with different visors. You will most likely... No, I'll bet my shiny metal ass on it that an orange visor will be in the customization!

No doubt.

Yes. Some classes did get really nice work on the legs though: you can see they are laced in the back for some of them!

[Feracuda]

I think it looks good the way it is. Nice job.
