    Picture the green armored marine that we have now as a black armored marine.

    The truth is none of us know what the black armor will look like. If they say they do, then they are lying. If one of the devs say they know what the black armored marines look like, then they too are lying.

    UWE hasn't shown it to us yet. No one can provide you with a real picture of it. :(

    Honestly I'm kind of hoping the black armor looks completely different than the green armor, not just color wise. I would expect it to be like a different outfit.

    and how will we know if we have the black armor once we get out of alpha and out of beta eventually
  • Dalin SeivewrightDalin Seivewright 0x0000221E Join Date: 2007-10-20 Member: 62685Members, Constellation
    Well, the Alpha is a lie, so that question is irrelevent.

    Don't trust me, I'm lying:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The black armor is based off of the existing armor but is more then just a different skin. It looks cool, trust me.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I've seen several posts in several threads now about this black armor business, and it seems like people are imagining that we are taking the current marine and dumping a bucket of black, matte paint all over them. In that case, yes, it might effect gameplay. However, that is not how it is being handled. Just because a surface's local color is black, it doesn't mean it can't still pick up and reflect a lot of light. And, don't forget, there are plenty of areas where the lighter colored cloth breaks up the armor sections, as well as the many of the light grey metallic metal paneled areas on the armor that are going to be maintained.

    And then there's their large chest lights, the glowing blue lights on their backs, the glowing blue holographic visors over their faces that they are going to get, not to mention the GREEN weapons they are still going to be holding. The black armor is just going to look cool and special, not turn the marine into a super ninja.

    I want a pink bunneh sitting on my left shoulder, and a white kitten on my right shoulder when wearing the Black Armor.

    Who needs to hide in the shadows?

    I lie in this post. excluding this part. that is not true.

    I do <u>not </u>wonder about if it will have a N7 logo on it. That is not true.

    Ok now I am making myself doubt. That is not true.

    This was all true. Not depending on which part of the paradox you are at.

    It will say "F4" instead of "TSA". Because you don't mess with the special edition marine corps.

    It looks great. It's not just a colour change either.

    If it looks cool then a screencap would help boost pre-order sales right? *hint hint*

    Blaergh- I want <a href="http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Tama" target="_blank">Tama/Scratch</a> sitting on my shoulder - both in game and in real.

    Or remove all doubt and sucker in a few more thousand SE preorders, which may be a good thing overall for getting NS2 delivered faster.

    Anyway i'd rather want to see how badass the iron-man outfit will be, i.e. heavy (and can it fly like we all dream about :P).

    where's the source of this reply? I'd like to follow that up with a question if the Heavy armor is getting the same treatment.

    No, the Heavy armor is not currently planned to get the same treatment. Yes the black armor is more then just a texture swap. We think it looks pretty cool. And all will be revealed in due time.

    Although it would make no sense picking up a green weapon and having it magically black, it would be pretty cool if weapons could have a green/black skin. (or even possibly a few more skins) That way if a black marine with a black gun dies green marines can use it and vise versa without magically changing color. Ontop of that the game could even support a few more skins. Hate to make a MW2 reference but this one of the cooler features of the guns in that game...
