What if uniforms could get dirty the longer you survive? Depending on the maps environment and other circumstances. Let's say if you lay prone and crawl your uniform gets slightly dirtier. Also smoke and dust from near by grenade blasts or artillery strikes. Maps with rain could make the uniforms look wet. I think it would be great for immersion. Let's say you just joined a game online. Your soldier spawns with his group of freshly clean uniformed comrades behind the front lines. As you join groups of other soldiers who have been in the **** for a while they appear weathered and dirty from combat. Maybe even if someone gets killed next to you they're blood could splatter on your uniform. I'm not even sure if this is possible on the UT3 engine. I got the idea from looking at the pdf, the soldiers look pretty clean. Don't get me wrong the models look pretty damn amazing just saying war is dirty. I did notice a little bit of dirt on the Russian soldiers sleeve but I still think the progressively dirty soldiers would be cool.

Would be pretty cool and immersive.
I remember Ghost Recon 1 had uniforms that could get wet (basically darkened the original texture up to where the water had been) when people walked through rivers and stuff like that.
Stuff like that is good for immersion, though i have no idea how doable it actually is in UE3.

This is something I had been thinking about, at least for the singleplayer campaign. As you progress throughout the campaign, your uniform get's darker and dirtier.

In the German campaign your boots should slowly fall apart and you have to scavenge for new ones or else you'll lose your feet to frostbite lol

It sounds like an awesome idea but I'm having a hard time envisioning how to get it implemented - I don't think it would be an easy thing to do, but what do I know?

Oblivion?

Oblivion?

Does anyone know what engine The Elder Scrolls Oblivion was built on because it has clothes that get dirty, with blood, bullet holes, and torn shirts. Torn shirts would be good for walking into barbed wire.
