Going to be nice to have those mounted on the wall. Nothing better than a good looking trophy.

Looks a bit squeezed in the middle.

now I have a question...is it me or does the NC helmet look more technologically advanced then the VS helmet?

That's what I thought too. The word "ugly" also crossed my mind

IMHO the whole visit thing is too bent and curvy. The pulled up edges look like the guy is starting to get bald (don't know the word for it in English but in Germany we call it Geheimratsecken). I would make a picture how I think the pulled up edges should be (one flat, straight top edge), but I'm nowhere near a PC.

NC's looks like someone tried to break it with a walnut cracker and failed.

I think they look good, I'd also like to hear the backstory I.E. purpose and or reason the helmets are in the design they are in. There is supposed to be alot more Lore in Planetside 2 and I'm not seeing much of it lately.

I'd pay money for an orange visor on the VS helmet.

Feels like it's from the Mercenary part of NC

Id rather have a Kryten head that what ever the hell THAT thing is. Am I the only one trying to find out how many blind spots there are? It looks as if the helm is both a custom fit and hugs skin tight all while being as bulky as can be.

Not hating the art work, but Im calling bias on the team against NC. The VS helm is not only functional but looks really nice. TR helm is just pure badass that's screams unstoppable shock-trooper. Then finally that NC helm looks like a thing from a HALO spin off.

Koadster · 2013-02-28, 10:54 PM

The NC helment is from another game, ive seen that same design somewhere! I like it but yeah looks more advanced then TR or VS... I thought the NC were a bunch of rebels who had to scrap together gear.

Either way its a VERY big improvement over this..

Mordelicius · 2013-02-28, 10:54 PM

Badass looking! He really went all out with that helmet

Reminds me elements of

Ironman
Ultron
Judge Dredd
even classic Optimus Prime (sidevents).

When I first looked upon the NC helmet I was a bit shocked at the look, but I keep coming back and liking it more and more to the extent that I have SC in hand and I'm first in the queue outside the store waiting for the sales to open

Carbon Copied · 2013-03-01, 06:32 AM

I'll agree with you there yozzer! Sort of a Halo/Blacklight love child - the more I look at it the more it grows on me.

I think it's a big departure from what most have in their mind - but to me it captures the idea of the NC becoming more than just some scraggy rebels with checkered shirts, but having their own developed tech to meet the other factions on the frontline. I think it will look slightly out of place to begin with however when new armor sets start making an appearance in game I think the overall look will be pretty unique and have it's place in the PS2 universe. Even more so when class specific armor/helmets make their way in.

Looking forward to the ingame render!
