I'm not. I think it will help seeing as how I'll be playing VS.

Wish list: Get the visor looking transparent and spheroid, like on the PCGamer cover. Also, strike the safety yellow borders. I think if you made their armor corroded/blued, you could get away without the borders. The NC shoulder/pauldron stars can stay, and be the recognizable visual color clue.

Conclusion: While there are still some changes I'd like to see to bring the NC up to par compared to the TR and VS, who both have amazing infantry art, this update is a major step in the right direction. Thanks SOE!

I've been trying to think of ways they could tone down the NC colors without making them look too similar to the TR troops. If they were to shift the NC color pallet to lighter and more subdued pastel tones, while darkening the TR pallet a bit, I think the visual contrast would be much more apparent. Wish I had the model textures to play around with and show what I mean.

NC = I AM THE LAAAH!!!

Big NC fan but out of these three shots I really love the VS one the most. It might have a lot to do with the model's face, but the VS guy looks like a samurai to me, I find it very cool.

TR goggles look a teensy too big to me. NC could maybe use a liner on his visor?

Looking awesome all the same.

Not liking the end of the TR gun, with it's boxy appearance, obvious mirror texture, seem at the top of the barrel, and it could use more of a circular shape where the barrel attaches to the end (just looks like a low edge count circle). I probably am nitpicking, and it wont matter in game, just that from the angle the problems are really noticeable.

I also agree with the others that NC and TR look too alike at this stage.

Not to sound too negative, I'm absolutely loving the VS designs, and overall everything's good.

Oh, and I like turtles

The VS armor looks cool, but not very practical. Lots of hand holds and places for a knife to get stuck.

What's with all this brouhaha over those light-assault shots, uh?

And the NC-Judge Dredd design. Lol love it

The goggles look like they were added in with MS Paint.

I've been saying this for months now

I doubt it'll signifigantly change, though.

Is it just me, or does it look like this photo has been edited with a black bar across his eyes to protect this VS light-assault guys identity??

Brusi, while you are obviously sorta joking, I agree. Both the VS and NC look like the "goggles/glasses" have been put in afterwards with paint or something. TR goggles look fine, but VS and NC could use a bit more work.

Yeah, but every time an actual complaint about how something looks comes up... it gets S the F'd down by....

That's true though, some people need to tone that down, as half of the stuff they try to apply that to are most likely not even something you will be able to customize.

Like, someone liking the old Pulsar model better and someone came with the customization again, sure, but the two weapons shared nothing but the color theme, very unlikely for one to be able to customize the weapon to a whole other thing.

But T-Ray has asked/taken feedback for visual stuff before too, so I'd keep it coming. If he reads these, he might just try to make small alterations to make it look a tad better.
