(Design)Infantry armor can probably use a bit of tweaking.


Alright, so before I begin, let's keep the empire bashing aside and keep things constructive shall we?

I'm going to try keep this short, but I've been noticing that some of the infantry models seem a bit lackluster compared to the concept art. Yes, I understand it's difficult to replicate the concept, but it seems that there's a pretty big difference when comparing the two. Depending on what you're looking at, some of them are missing some bits of armor, padding, equipment (bags/straps/etc) and even the color patterns of that faction seem to be off compared to the concept.

I understand that there's going to be customization, however I don't think we know how flexible it's going to be besides adding camo patterns, some bits of armor plating, and changing the tint of the camo.("Is it going to be flexible enough to make my character look like the concept?")

Without further ado, I'm going to use the N.C. medic as an example since it's freshest example I have off my head.

Like I've mentioned before, missing parts, color scheme looks off (the default NC colors are different for some reason, even though it seems that the concept/blur video uses navy/grey with light gold trimmings).

It's also the same the issue for the TR medic

There's probably other examples I could use but its too much to add. but you could find more PSU's gallery such as the engineers but its probably too much to add into this post.(I don't mean that in a bad way)

So really, why waste an opportunity like this to the make the models really shine like their concept counterparts? It would sad not to see most of these concepts make it into the game.

*Is there a way I could add thumbnails?
