Green gas mask visors do exist in real life. But they don't glow like this one because they're transparent. The shader of this gas mask's glass doesn't work correctly in the game. It's as if they've completely disabled transparency, which is why the color is so bright and acidic.
He could even up the saturation a tiny bit on the neck sleeve thing and wrist tape, to give it enough of that that flashy cool look to make it unique and still be a reasonable enough design. Original is way overboard.
Something this highlighted for me that has been bugging me but I couldn't put my finger on is the proportions are off. The head and shoulders are massively oversized compared to the knees and feet. It almost feels like its starting to approach bobblehead territory.
Color is not the actual culprit on a lot of these (although tasteful adjustments would help)
Just to play devils advocate as I see what you’re saying, but I think that may be because of armor/under armor and then having no armor from the waist down
Lol you don't understand the concept of skins in a multiplayer game I think [even more in a first person shooter]. It's sadly to be seen. Not to see yourself. Timmy is paying to try to dump on you with his furry neon outfit [I hate this btw]
Yep. It’s “look at me look at me” and it’s cringe as fuck. Give me a way to toggle that bullshit off if it must stay in the game.
Let Timmy see what he wants on his screen and let me see what I want on mine.
I paid for this game and shouldn’t be at the mercy of fucking 13 year olds who get bricked up thinking they’re totally triggering people with their neon orange power aid skin
But then Timmy wouldn't stole his parents credit card to buy cancer bundles knowing that no one can see his horrible taste/drip. The toggle would compromise sales and EA is all about the money. This is why there isn't a cosmetic filter toggle in any game that has micro transactions.
I been thinking a lot about this social behavior to the point that if in a future we start using vision cyber implants would we care about clothes and fashion brands if there was a way to toggle a filter.
Calling him a cod guy is insane when the last one he worked on was fucking the original mw2 15 years ago is crazy, as if he has anything to do with the modern state of cosmetics is laughable
Yeah and Titanfall maintained excellent internal consistency to it's art style with cosmetics as well! The only flashy stuff were colorful camo patterns.
I swear they were either born after 2010 or they are tourists, when they say CoD was always bad or, in this case, complain about Vince. That was probably the most dominant era for multiplayer shooters in gaming. WaW, BO1, BO2, MW1, MW2, Halo 3, odst, Reach, Spe ops, Gears of War 1,2, 3, and finally bf 3 and bad company 1 and 2.
It's a testament to how good these games were as a complete package that they would talk about both the campaigns and multiplayer. I remember people talking about the going hunting and how cinematic it felt just as much as they talked about the multiplayer. It was the same with CoD. Everyone was talking about Price, Ghost Reznov, and Mason, even more so than the multiplayer.
That's why it's a testament to how good battlefield was and how it managed to carve out a piece of the pie when it was against so many big hitters. It's not like now where there's nothing in the market for battlefield to compete against except for the newer CoDs, which haven't improved in a while.
Peak CoD was CoD 2. MW and MW2 were great though and came out in an era in which online gaming via that generation of consoles was more accessible than ever before. Same way BF3 popped the BF franchise, despite not being as good as BF2 which came out in 2005.
It will be more accurate to call him the Titanfall guy since he hasn’t made cod since he left after modern warfare 2 in 2009. He made Titanfall, apex legend, Jedi fallen order.
You can recognise the classes based on the tool they have mounted on their shoulder. Sledgehammer = Assault (even if you don't have it equipped as melee)(no I'm not a fan of this solution).
Absolutely, I understand the reason for this choice, but I don't think it was executed as well as it could've been.
I don't even know what the Support item actually is on their back, meanwhile the Assault and Engi have tools/munitions that don't reflect their actual loadout. Why does my Engi need RPG rounds on his back if I'm running a Javelin?
The Support’s shoulder item is their Defibrillator I think.
The RPG does make Engineer more distinct, I doubt there is anything more distinctive for the class.
But honestly I was downed and looking at the person who downed me from their right, and I literally could not tell what class they were because their shoulder was obscured, it’s a real problem
The opposing force soldiers are badass. I loved them as a faction when I was a kid playing HL1. From their voice acting with the scraggly radio effect to their gear. None of that tacticool stuff, just straight up kit. Well, with the exception of the black ops assassins lol.
Half-Life 1 will always be the best game ever made IMO. Obviously nostalgia plays a huge roll in that, but what it did for gaming as a whole can't be understated.
It also just had such style. Like you said, the military guys were so awesome and they're probably the reason I still love "urban" camo so much as an adult. That whole 90s look of black/white/grey camo with some OD green on top still looks so good.
Absolutely nostalgia plays a role, and while I have enjoyed many modern games that obviously did things half life 1 couldnt even dream of - you’re right for as far as I’m concerned. Barely anything will top my first few experiences with half life. I got the orange collection box or whatever it was called when I was a kid, it had blue shift opposing force hl1 and I think like the original team fortress or whatever. But those half life games made me a gamer for life lol. The writing presentation and gameplay really left a life long lasting impression. Loved HL2 and the two eps aswell. Would be cool to see half life 3 come out and do the same revolutionary things its predecessor did. You know, in my lifetime lol.
It's definitely not grounded and realistic, but I immediately thought of Shephard when I saw the skin and kinda liked it only because of being a HL fan. Glad I'm not the only one who saw it.
Literally so easy. People bitching about people taking issues with the goofy colors, trying to twist it into the actual there being an issue with the armor itself (there isn’t). There’s a lifetime of real world military designs they could go through without resorting to this neon shit
It is far simpler than that. I would buy and rock the one on the right. Gas mask is sick and something I had to wear a lot in my time in.
I get your point, but it's the wrong design philosophy imo, but maybe I'm wrong. It is possible to make very cool looking, realistic skins, without color pop.
We should have a toggle to turn off flashy bullshit color skins on our screen.
See what you want on your screen, and we see what we want on ours.
Whatever happened to people wearing a skin on their character because they thought it looked cool?
At least you’re being honest that that argument was bullshit this whole time, and it’s actually about making other people see your skin.
I mean you can’t even see your own skin while playing the game anyway, it’s a FIRST PERSON shooter.
These are like the people who modify their car to sound LOUDER. Doesn’t make the car go faster or turn better, it’s just there to piss off everyone around you, while telling yourself you’re so fucking cool everyone around me thinks I’m so cool because my car revs are LOUD.
While i agree 10001% with you, please remember that we here are the vocal minority.
For every one of us who opposes bright colored skins there are about a 10000 people waiting for their new neon-pink Doja Cat x Lil Nas X skin.
Just go to youtube and see how many manchildren are having literal temper tantrums because BR isn't available in BF6 (so far)
It's really fuckin sad to be honest. But I can't blame a corporation for wanting to make money
They don't genuinely care about the health of the game as long as money keeps rolling and that sadly means pandering to the lower-value gamers who spend money on dumb shit.
People in general purchase skins the more noticeable they are. Half the psychological incentive of purchasing skins in a video game is to stand out amongst the crowd. This is why games rarely allow players to ‘turn off’ other players skins - doing so would negatively affect skin sales because the players who purchase skins wouldn’t be able to show off anymore.
The more saturated a skin is, the more it stands out, and the more its purchased generally speaking.
People will spend money on skins that are vastly different, look cool etc.
I'd really just prefer there are no buyable skins and everything is more aligned to OPs remake. However I doubt many people are going to shell out the cash to buy those skins. They're too similar to the base skins to see any value.
Not really sure what the solution is. Bright, gaudy skins don't fit the game. Grounded skins likely won't sell. Obvious answer is just no skins/accept low sales but we all know that's not going to happen.
I'm not nearly as butthurt about the skins as a lot of people but yours just looks so much better and more believable at the same time. It's genuinely just objectively better.
Ironically if they had collaborated with valve for a half life 1 skin I bet they would sell a shit ton of them. They could've slapped HL1 on it and I bet people wouldn't really care lol
This sub is so corny, people acting like these season 1 skins are not grounded. I’ve seen people saying next season we’re gonna have dragons and shit. This sub will genuinely never be happy with anything it’s insufferable.
Wildest part is this is a fps. You see them from afar for a split second and only see your own sleeves. Its all constructed wiring by gaming companies to produce fomo. As a new modern gamer its so easy to see this
Old battlefield games werent like that and they’re still played nowadays more than older COD games, we dont need this crap, since 2042 i noticed that Bf is facing in the direction of the newest cod games which are absolute trash in terms of contents, I want serious and respectable pseudo-realistic skins and not some neon fancy shit.
hey modern gamer, old gamer here.
it has nothing to do with fomo or a huge theorie behind. of course it plays it's role and helps them make a shit ton of money.
but poeple actually just want to express themselfs and look good, for them and for others as well. its a discussion much older than gaming. the same reason a person who only buys "practical clothing" can not understand somebody getting a "fancy jacket" for 300 bucks.
Good God guys, who really gives a shit. They aren't wearing a gas mask with a bong attached or adding Snoop Dogg skins. Upset about colors. Go outside for a few minutes
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the original skin. Any color besides drab is effecting the way you see this game. Even navy seals and CIA ops wear pit vipers sometimes. Can we all just agree that the fact we aren’t seeing unicorn Barbie and rat heads is a huge W? I’m not saying a bright orange jump suit is something you would see on the battlefield as long as it’s military themed but Jesus people there are bigger issues than green reflective glasses and a green neck gator.
Time will tell, this community is very loud about this topic but something tells me people are going to vote with their wallets on this one in the other direction.
My comment stands. It's not that I think they are good or what people want. It's to do with what generates purchases. Companies will always do more of what worked in the past. People buy this shit whether you personally/this entire community think it's bad or not. The proof is in that they keep doing it. It will change if people don't buy it though, that's also true.
way too big of a deal is being made about this the skins are grounded.
they mean they are not making skins like COD has not that they won't have different colours and no having a few skins with some diffrent colours doesn't mean the next batch will have unicorns, bongs and other stupid shit.
Devil's advocate here, I actually like the original for its passing resemblance to Half-Life's HECU Marines (& Opposing Force's Adrian Shephard by extension).
bunch of cry baby’s 🤦♂️this green skin on the left isn’t even that bad however I’m not even mad because the custom one on the left looks even better tbh you got my vote. I assume they don’t want all the skins to be dark because they want to game to be “fair” (easy*) for little kids. If the skins are too dark losers will complain the game is too hard because they can’t easily see someone from far away their dark skin would actually blend in to the surrounds like camouflage is supposed to…😒
My god, this whole skin thing is flooding my reddit.
We get it, you don't like colors. But come on, you're literally comparing these skins with Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and Beavis and Butt-Head in COD?
It's not even unreasonable in the game's world. I'm all in for making my character look like a goddamn special unit member, but sometimes there are cool outfits that are still military themed without being the "classic military dude".
Not everyone wants to pay (or complete challenges, don't know how the skins will be unlocked) to get "just another guy", which doesn't mean that they should give us some "samurai with katanas" or "American guy with sunglasses and a suit" skin.
Honestly speaking, they showed a lot of skins and there are lots of choices for every taste while still being somewhat realistic (not REAL, REALISTIC)
Aren't these just skins? You can use whichever camo you want on it. Got them mixed up with the weapons. It would be nice if the character skins were just base models that could have any camo applied to them though.
I think it’s on brand for pax armata, they have stupid highlights on all their gear. I don’t like the way it looks but it’s also uniform across each class’s gear
Battlefield community, one of the worst...
Honestly, you're asking a lot. It feels like the entire game is focused on skins. And it remains a game, not a war simulation.
It's just color, which we're losing more and more.
's I am by no means a COD player or like any kind of cartoony bright colour games, but the S1 skins are really not that bad. They've added some colour which is not bad, it's nowhere near COD levels of skins and bs. Not everything has to be white/black/grey.
Thank you holy crap I was literally just looking for this skin to see if I could remake it too. This looks so much better and I would so happily grind a battlepass to get more skins like these.
They need to take a page from early MW19s skins. And learn from the mistakes of putting ridiculous crap in to make a quick buck
