You people need to realize that the VS have Alien Tech. So yea they will have boss mode looking stuff. And on that note, I have to say that the VS Engineer Helmet looks the best so far.

That's a terrible reason to have one side look significantly cooler than the others for a game (VS or otherwise). In a movie? Sure. In a game? No.

I am not sure they are trying to make one faction look cooler than the others. It's simply that there is more creative freedom when it comes to "alien-like" than in "militaristic". I do not find the new armors "cool" while they do look nice. To be honest, my favorites are the TR medic and NC MAX designs.

This time around, the VS do look very alien-like (almost scary with the insectoid organic designs ) and the more they look non-human, the more you understand why the NC and TR get the creeps with the VS. Who would make peace with abominations ?

Now if you want cool, PS1 VS REXO and agile were ultra-cool. It did not make everyone want to play in purple, though, and fortunately so.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's intentional, his reasoning just seemed flawed.

Ah ok, sorry about that. I understood it the other way. Thanks for clarifying.

I think TRay actually used my design suggestion on this one...

I mean this:

But maybe it was planned to look like that all the way...

It needs to be replaced with the color of these forums, a little darker maybe.

What are you referring to exactly the color of Basti's name?
