Why don't the German helmets have chin straps in any of the screenshots of RO2, looks kind of stupid to be honest.
Anyway, the rest of the game is looking amazing!

They are probably not there for the same reason there aren't any slings on the guns: The polygon-budget.
This is usually the sort of stuff that gets left out to stay within budget, but still insure the overall quality of the models, you have to trim the fat somewhere..
This is 2011, man.
Makes no difference, there's still a poly-budget, the budget has just gotten bigger.. only, so has expectations, so you need to spend a lot more of that budget on the fundamentals than you did previously, and nobody will accept a high quality model, with minor bits hanging off of it that are clearly no where near the standard of the rest of the model.
Eventually we'll probably reach poly-budgets where such issues pretty much go away, but we're definately not there yet, and current gen games still have to trim the fat.
If polys are a problem, they should just put the strap at the front of the helmet like this.

remember you get to customize the way your soldier looks
You do? Where did you pick this one up? Is there a confirmation for this one?
