Somehow I think the respirator mask from the original conecpt made the medic look different from the Light Asssault class.

I'm not Photoshop pro, but:

Also bare arms for him would look awesome.

medics are really the backbone of any infantry attack. think of all the base assaults and tower drops with people dropping and the medic in the back picking people up.

I used to think and still do that the medic should be the best shooters in your outfit, because the longer they stay standing, the better chance you have of getting your squad rezzed around you.

+1 for bare arms, same reason politicians roll up their sleeves for some press conferences... makes you look like you are ready to do some hard work.

Was an exclusive medic in PS1, may well be seeing me in a similar role in PS2.

I'm a software engineer in real life, but they didn't add that class.

So I'll have to join all you real life medics as a virtual imposter.

It managed to say a lot without really saying anything, didn't it?

They won't see as much customized gear in the shop if the free, low level stuff looks bad ass.

Gotcha. Makes sense.

Sorry if I came off as harsh, I am tired of repeating this so many times. I mean, it's entirely possible all the armor they make in store or not will suck, but I'd assume these are underwhelming because they are low level and so they can sell cooler stuff.

i like it, maybe not the way the visor looks

and so what if there is a cross on the helmet that makes you a target. its all good.

Coreldan · 2012-03-14, 09:20 AM

I also still think that the visor could use some slight adjustment. Either make it a bit less of a black hole that absorbs all hope from mankind, or put some frames to it or something that it stops looking like it was added afterwards in MS Paint

At least in these screens they reflect a bit of light.

The latest models are even equipped with experimental Field Rebirth technology....

That sounds almost as painful as the dying part.

I'd just like to see some of this "cooler stuff". If not for the Vanu, I see no reason that PS2 couldn't be taking place on Earth 2012...Maybe 2050 to explain the jetpacks?

I think you're thinking of unbirthing (or google it, if you weren't.)

I think it mainly comes down to more armor plates for the NC. We've seen pictures with more thigh and arm armor plate thingies. It's sorta unsure for now whether they are just something you get as you level up or cash shop stuff.

Could there perhaps be something along the lines of "medium assault" that we don't know about yet? No jetpack, more armour than LA but less than rexo. :P

Highly doubt it, we saw the class list in the GDC video: Light assault, heavy assault, engineer, medic, infiltrator and MAX.

That said, I spotted that in the GDC video, Higbys engineer had the thigh armor plates I'm referring to, while his LA/medic didn't. So there's a chance they are for engineer only, but I'm not sure how would that make sense, so I suppose it's just his engineers customization.

Just a heads up, I think I edited my post while you were typing a reply about the thigh armor :P
