I've found players are starting to run around without helmets (on US side) or shirts thereby looking like VC - this allows them to get the jump on the PAVN soldiers who look twice before shooting. If they happen to get shot by their own side, they will then punish them as well. Its a cheat and needs to be removed. Why is it there in the first place? I mean, soldiers especially part of the US Army or USMC would NEVER be allowed by NCOs/Officers to go into battle wearing only their webbing.
Request: Pls remove ability to go bare chested for US

We all know that 85% of the cosmetics are stupid and need to be removed/reworked, but like I said it's pointless to keep bringing it up because they'll never change it.

I can count atleast 3 times as VC where I've come upon someone dressed like a VC (webbing, no hat, no shirt) who i hesitated to shoot, who then turned and killed me instead. You're effectively dressing like the enemy in an online MP game and gaining an unfair advantage. You telling me thats not a cheat? Why don't we just do away with uniforms altogether and we can all run around in shorts and weapons?

You have it in your head that "shirtless" = VC.
Why??
That sounds like your problem.

Ask the shirtless guy how many times he/she gets TKed. Sure it might give a slight advantage during a close quaters situation, but I reckon it is evened out by the TKs recieved. Dress like the enemy, get shot like the enemy.

I'm seeing a lot more of this - players from both sides are essentially dressing the same ie. green helmet (yes even for NVA), no shirt and green pants. This wouldn't be such a problem if we didn't have friendly fire enabled, but we do so if we do mistake them for the enemy and kill...we get pinged for the TK (every time thats happened to me, i've never been forgiven for the tk). Thats just BS.
the other point I'm trying to raise is, it just looks silly. C'mon we're suposed to be representing the USarmy/USMC/PAVN/VC and we're allowed to run around semi naked. Bit disrespectful don't you think? This isn't CS.

The tiger striped Boonies for the US or the cap for the PAVN are worse IMHO, the ssh-39 is pretty distinct.

I'd want green camo for the NVA, just so that the people who can't recognize a US troop from an NVA had more things to cry about. I also think, that the green camo uniform was more widely used than the khaki uniforms, especially later in the War, what most of the maps represent.

when you're fighting in the jungle or open areas, its much easier to tell the diff between US/PAVN troops (primarily uniform followed by how they hold their rifle when sprinting). its when you get into dense jungle or cities like Hue where you only have a split second to distinguish between friend/foe when you can be confronted by either friend/foe wearing the same basic uniform ie. no shirt, just helmet, webbing, pants, rifle, that it becomes a problem. Like i said above, if FF wasn't on, I wouldn't have any problems...but FF is on for the most part...and these idiots will NOT forgive you for TK'ing them. So you end up copping the TK time AND point penalties. Thats BS. Plus it just looks plain stupid. Noone fights like that IRL. Not willingly anyway. This isn't Sparta. Have some respect for the soldiers who actually did fight and wore their uniforms proudly.

Pretty much, when RS2 was released, I was wondering why you could make your character shirtless, it's silly.

lol ok i finally did it....playing last night - I run over to cap D (which has a burning M113 in front of bunkers). As I'm waiting on the flanks, out pops two guys in almost exactly the same outfit...both with a helmet, no shirt, weapons. I shoot both of them - 1 kill, 1 TK. This is BS. oh and the guy didn't bother to forgive even after i apologised so I lost points, had a time penalty, etc. WTF is that? For the record, one came around the corner of the bunker (VC) and the other behind the burning M113 (friendly). A lot of the time the blue diamond doesn't show up, esp if they are partically covered. Players know that it gives them a slight advantage because, with FF on, people tend to check first before firing...which gives them a split second advantage.
This is BS Tripwire - please fix this.

Like I said, don't waste your time. We've been yelling at them about the horrid customization ever since early alpha, they absolutely refuse to even acknowledge the issue.
I released a mod that cleans up the crappy items plus adds green NVA, but it didn't really get anywhere.

yeah fair enough. Really annoying as you can probably guess lol. Now i'm seeing more and more players do it ie. no shirt, boonie hat so that they both look the same.

I haven't be able to play the game that much at all. I played in the alpha and then just a few days ago bought the full version and for now my biggest problem is the players using bandana instead of helmet. Otherwise I didnt have problems seeing who's ally or foe.

yeah there's a big problem with that. One issue i find is that the friendly player icon (blue triangle) is located in the centre of their body...which is fine if you see their whole body running....a lot of time (esp in the jungle, etc) you only see their top half. Throw in the ability to customize their appearance (esp no shirt, no helmet, etc) and all you see is the top half of a shadow. Then FF comes into play. I like having FF on (makes you a bit more careful) however I don't like it where the game is designed to allow this level of customisation (and even states in the game itself something like 'watch how you dress, dress like an enemy and you will get shot, etc' but then relies on the person getting shot to NOT penalise you for the TK). That doesn't make sense.

Two observations:The_Pharoah;n2309706 said:
Cyan: There's your problem. Depending upon a "help" to play the game. Magic "don't shoot I'm on your team markers" never should have been introduced in an RO series.
Red: I mean really. Who plays with FF off? Are there actually populated servers that run with FF off? Another feature that should never have been introduced. Another dumbing down option of a good game.
