Character Customisation (YES/NO) - The Definitive Thread

[Alexander Ostmann]

I love those dark collars.

Same! I wish they never changed them.

Possible areas of Customisation:

Helmet - Decal or No Decal, Colour, Accessories such as Netting/foliage, Camoflage covers, Strap or No Strap

Tunic - Colour gradient, Wear and tear, Emblems & medals, Cut type (M36/M41)

Sturm


Well there is also the idea in our "Best of ideas" thread that you can earn medals and wear them.
(so Sturm means of course medals the player already earned.)

THIS i really like, i do so hope this sort of option gets in.

I'll be happy if the M36 style uniform makes its way in game. I love those dark collars.

Pics?

Say what you like about the Nazis - they looked the bloody business.

 

[guzz60]

customisation would be cool so long as it wasn't ridiculous and over the top, maybe if you get an achievement (eg: kill 1000 enemies) then maybe you could get a medal or something, but too many of these would look stupid ...

 

[sturmfuhrer]

(Yes)

The only unit symbols I've ever seen worn are on the sides of M43 caps or painted on vehicles or other equipment.

 

[ductape3]

no.

I think that any changes to the appearance of the character should be random based on veteran status assigned in spawning. Although I would like to see random height tossed in if feasible. Not majorly important by any means though.

 

[Randy2k6]

Yes, I would like to see that. But just small things like OP mentioned.

 

[u-s-e-r]

Having too much customization would be bad but it would be really neat to be able to customize your helmet!

 

[Capt.Cool]

Sturm, if this is the definitive thread about custiomisation, why there is no poll included?

 

[Alvin Fuchs]

Can't believe I've never posted in this. I fully support light customization. Purely aesthetical, probably with forced winter and summer versions.

 

[BATTERIES]

Hmmm its hard to say.

I mean I could see it being done well but,
It would be very difficult to introduce this correctly without making the game look kind of tacky so for that reason I will say No.

No to customisation

NO TO HAT ORCHESTRA 2: HAT COLLECTORS OF STALINGRAD

 

[sturmfuhrer]

I understand,

But Batteries, look at Alvin Fuchs signature pic, how many helmet variations do you see.....

I agree with you, dont get me wrong in the interest of realism there should be large ammounts of variation in uniform. But, I dont believe it can be done without making the whole experience a bit too much "battlefield heroes".

 

[Landrik]

If there's a poll, the options should be:

Heavy customization (Think bleckeps)
Medium customization (Different uniform add-ons such as capes or zeltbahns)
Light customization (Helmet covers / decals)
No customization (Leave it up to the game to randomize appearance)

Just my thoughts.

 

[kapulA]

If those are to be the options, I'd go with light to medium customization, with the restriction of Zeltbahns/capes to snipers and 2 models to customize, a summer and winter one.

I agree. Speaking of uniforms I really need to study up on the Soviet uniforms.

 

[BATTERIES]

Good point landik, I could agree with light customisation since it could be done with some elegance and tact. Stopping it becomming ridiculous would be the hard part, give the community an inch and they will demand a mile.
