But just when i tried to make myself clearer on the other thread, it died.



Anyway, here's my take on the matter:

- First off, let me say i don't like the silly camos either, but i won't touch that now.

- Second, i get that people are afraid to lose the feel of PS if everyone trades the faction's colors for realistic camouflage. I'm not saying that should happen, i wouldn't like it either.
But some people (stealth ops teams) wearing it occasionally wouldn't ruin the general vibe, and they shouldn't be denied the option to do so just because we're afraid to lose the PS1 look.

So i think real camos should be in, as long as people wearing them don't become even nearly the majority... prices could be tweaked to keep them available but rare (there could even be incentives to wearing empire colors if this doesn't seem like enough).

I'm sure in my previous posts it probably sounded like i wanted PS to be another BF or CoD (bland gray/green/tan environment all over)... That's not what i want at all, sorry for expressing myself poorly.

- Finally (pasted from the other thread):

I agree one faction shouldn't use one of the other faction's colors, but only using yours is stupid. Wearing black/grays, greens, tans, etc is not going to make you shoot the guy who has a neon sign on his head saying " HI, I'M YOUR FRIEND BOB! "...

I'm pretty sure my point here isn't cryptic at all, and when people ignore counter arguments without even bothering to point out why they might be wrong while they hammer away at the same IFF argument over and over...

Well, it feels like talking to a wall.
