I was kinda analyzing the geometrical doctrines of the empires and came to a conclusion that the only thing you can draw inspiration from for NC designs is Halo human designs... In other sources all normal helmets are either triangular and pointy or round and refined. There's not many good-looking edged helmets.

Thanks for the heads up there Commando, never played past the first Halo before. After looking at the art in Halo 4 using it for inspiration is definitely not a bad thing!

Really interested in seeing what they're going to do with the pilot helmets. I think the obvious choice for the NC is an Apache style helmet considering how many ascetic cues the Reaver takes from that bird.

I can't quite tell, is he wearing a helmet or is the helmet wearing him?

The neckmuscles they must have...

I wish they would design some NC gear or camo that did not have huge Yellow stripes on it. It is very hard to hide when you have such a bright color on.
You can tell the Art Department plays the VS because they are practically invisible at night. The TR get a nice Black and dark red combo that blends in at night well also.

More stuff to buy that we should have gotten for free.

I decline to get excited about anything any more until we have the much-vaunted metagame in place. Strategy. Logistics. Something to fight *for.* And an incentive to think further than the next ten seconds. To worry about the guys over the hill, in addition to the guys in your face.

Something worse than nerd-angst has afflicted me. Boredom. This game is boring. More cosmetics will not change that.

i really want to see the NC helm all this hiding made it feel like our one is the worst of them all

Im more impressed of the fact that in all 3 of those pics the clocks 1/100 of a second is a 3. That's DAMN hard to pull off 3 times in a row.

Really? That's more interesting than a drunk Hamma rockin' out in front of a webcam?

Them were good times.


PS - Also, @ Mutant, +1 for the Kryten pic!
