TR Commissar Concept - Page 5

Bunk · 2013-02-23, 07:45 AM

It should be available only to people who actually have the commissar rank

Like Rolfski said, it's borderline cartoonish. This is absolutely NOT what I want to see as a TR player. A service cap -yes, but a huge red thing with golden wings on it? Please, tell me you are kidding.

I get it that you guys like W40K theme, but Planetside isn't that. TR is a sci-fi utilitarian nation, not an Emperor-loving cult. I know many people perceive TR as some sort of evil dictatorship (even some of the devs for whatever reason), but then again, they aren't that. TR is a struggling democracy - think US during WW2 or during Mccartheism times.

Keep these gimmicky hats out of the game please.

This is infinitely better than some of the stuff already available in the store.
I am absolutely biased towards WH40K, so I welcome this hat, and will envy it greatly as NC. Maybe we'll get something akin to Space Marines (knightly, armoured, justice, etc...)

Have you guys ever seen officer caps from the armies around the world?

Most of them are big, gaudy and borderline cartoonish, just like the concept art. Especially those of totalitarian armies.

Ha ha, you would get Ultrasmurf helmets

I want an NC crushed cap version:

But in blue and yellow.

While it looks quite nice ( and if done right fits a more military style than all those "clown mask" helmet options ), it would look much better without the goggles.

I think real world military helmets & hats should be used more as a reference for possible future PS2 helmets, not motorcycle helmets, hockey masks and retarded skulls.

What i would like the most are Berets, because A: They would work with all faction colours and even with all camo colours/patterns, and B: you could use them as part of an outfit dresscode without it looking like everyone trys to be the officer in command, as the commisar hat on everyone would imply.

I think red berrets on a TR squad with one of the desert camos would look really badass.

B-but ze goggles are our most advanced piece of technology

There is no TR without goggles just like there is no VS without spandex

Wargrim · 2013-02-23, 11:04 AM

The goggles suck. Badly.

Dodgy Commando · 2013-02-23, 11:10 AM

I find they fit in quite nicely, and Keep it TR (and therefore Planetside).

@ChipMHazard
No!!!

MrBloodworth · 2013-02-23, 11:25 AM

I always find it amusing that people go all :" We need aduilt Si-Fi" while the entire game is based around WWII weapons and we have roman inspired helms.

Then they post a bunch of anime stuff.

It's almost like 4chan!

I think anyone should be able to buy this hat. But to equip it you would have to be a squad leader.
