Vanu Infil...no longer fired up

n2q0_matrix · 2012-07-17, 04:10 PM

At first I thought the Vanu Infil was cool looking, until the mask/helmet was more clear. Great concept, but after seeing it from multiple angles, it is too egg shaped and it looks...well...grumpy. After seeing it on the female avatar..well I am no longer sold on this look. The lines and shape are just not working for me.

I really like what they are trying to accomplish with it. I do. And this is totally a personal aesthetic opinion that I am not asking to be changed, because I would rather they get the game out so I can play. I can deal with looking odd when I knife someone in the back. ;)

Now post launch, if they wish to make this a customization... I WOULD PAY FOR A BETTER LOOKING VANU INFILTRATOR CLASS. Just say'n.

Might I suggest something closer to this:
NOT EXACTLY....but close....stamp the glowy vanu symbol (wicked cool BTW) on the front or something. Metallic gray instead of glossy black. I dunno, mess with it a bit.

Anyone else share the same feelings?

Vanu are the worst faction, so it makes sense for them to have terribad helmets ;D

Helmets in the shop for Station Cash have been confirmed, I believe. So you won't have to wear the egg-helmet if you don't like it. Persnoally, I think it looks ok.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one, I think the helmet look a little greedy and possibly jealous...i might even say its a bit thirsty.

honestly though, i like it.

I prefer Egg´s over a Bucket on the Head like the NC ones ^^

IMO the Vanu HA is by far the ugliest. Actually think the infil is one of the better looking ones.

What I think is happening is that the angle of the screenshot makes her helmet look bigger and bulbous compared to the rest of her body.

i was never a fan of the vs logo shape being right on the helmet

What, you don't *want* to look like a grey and purple circumcised penis with a glowy Vanu symbol on top? I thought the Fabulous Empire embraced such stuff.

To be honest, in trying to convince people that PS2 will be awesome, the dated and gumpy 70's sci-to look is the biggest hurdle I've found. I don't like it myself, but it doesn't stop me from thinking this shit will be a blast lol.
