The Ultra Hat List

OctavianAXFive · 2013-07-07, 03:34 PM

I figured I would start a fun thread about what kind of headgear people would like to see in Planetside 2. What hats do you want to see? What do you NOT want to see? Try to consider the aesthetic of PS2.

Here's an initial list of hats for people to mull over. I thought these hats might be in one way or another applicable to PS2's armies. Some are a bit silly, like the Ushanka for instance, but I love that hat and it's totally a legitimate military hat!

Ushanka

Akubra

Beret

Boonie hat

Bowler hat (a bit silly but I could see it)

Cowboy hat

Deerstalker (again a bit silly but Sherlock Holmes is a boss)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deerstalker

Flat Cap (a bit out of place but this one holds a special place in my heart)

Side cap

Glengarry

Kepi

Tam o'Shanter

Slouch hat (My personal favorite; could have faction symbols as the pin)

Campaign hat

I know some people might want different kinds of helmets but those are best created by artists to look futuristic and faction specific. This is a pretty solid list of hats I could see people rocking in battle. What do you think? Anything missing? Yea or nay on some of the hats listed?

Discuss, vote, rage at how you don't want this to turn into TF2!

I don't want to see any of those Clownside 2 hats.

The anger is almost palpable. You don't want more options for head gear? I mean, I really don't see the downside so long as they don't go full out silly on us. The hockey mask helmets and the spike blades were ill advised. But some of these hats are classic military.

I figured this might draw some ire but they (SOE) need to monetize somehow. Might as well give SoE a list of things we don't hate at the very least. That way they don't spend artist time making dumb hats that we won't buy and will get angry at.

Because they will make more hats. They have to. It's a F2P game and they need to make money somehow. Hats are an easy way to do that.

There will be more hats, but before anything else I suspect we will see VS and NC hats of some sort to go along with the TR version.

If SOE ever put in civilian hats in this game I will defiantly rage quit.

Well a hockey mask is not really a hat to start with is it? And hocky masks have been quite standards head gear for any sci-fi dystopia anarchy type thugs so I give it a pass even though no one will ever caught me dead in one.
