I love my spikey helmet so feck you all :-)

Oh man.. maniac helmets? Oh man... okay, now I officially don't feel like part of a space army anymore, I feel like part of a juvenile shooting horde of 16 year olds.

What I ask myself: What is their target audience? It obviously seems to be the kids, not guys 20+

That's a good point actually. These over the top and somewhat childish looking cosmetics might suggest they're going for a more immature crowd with this game.

Those of you looking down on people for what helm they ware are the immature ones.

Also,

You don't see their helm when they run over you in their tank..

BTW, Higby twittered that they would make some better helmets, I guess most people don't want to be space clowns. Thank god.

Nothing wrong with more variety, however, your assertion that people do not want to be space clowns is laughable.

Variety was always coming, your love of polka dots was irrelevant. But I get it, your an anonymous member of the Internets and have a reputation to maintain.

No one of a "mature age" looks foolish on the Internets.

Why can't we have APB's level of customisation? just keep the specs sci-fi based and the colours within the realms of the factions?!

It's so limited at the moment I can't be bothered to put any money into it.

Everything available makes you look like a massive cod piece

It's more a question of immersion and coherence than anything else, I could care less about what others are wearing and I guess it's the case for many people.

Exactly. It's not about being cool, like Bloodworth tries to implicate. I love looking ridicolous in games like APB and that's exactly where stuff like skull masks belong. But APBs world is built around stuff like that.

Immersion and coherence are lost if people run around in stuff/outfits that don't make sense in the given gameworld that was built by the designers.

It's as stupid as if they would add a Lamborghini as new purchasable vehicle in PS2. Usually I love Lamborghinis, but in Planetside they would suck because they just don't fit into the PS universe.

So do I. My NC engineer looks a bit like Sonic, had to have it.

Anyway I think people really need to lighten up about this stuff. The only proper military is the TR so I may understand a complaint there. But the PS world is all a bit camp anyway.

If they add a Sunderer-only paint job that makes it look like the Mystery Machine... I'd buy it.

SystematicKillr · 2013-02-05, 11:35 PM

New helmets are on the way already:

He also confirmed they will be factional this time:

I want a hat with a skull on it.

I have nothing against immature or over-the-top at all but this is PS2, not Saints Row the Third.

If this is going to be the direction of this game...

..they might as well introduce this for empire specific weapons
