Race in the U.S.

eenis · Post by **eenis** » 2009-07-31 02:58

I will probably get called racist etc but why is it that the most kits spawn a black man in the U.S. factions? I mean most squads are 4 blacks and 2 whites when the Army and marines are only 20 percent black. It's unrealistic to have the super majority of the U.S. team being black. Let the flaming commence

P.S. and i did use the search button and could not find anything.

THE BEST TOPIC OF THE DAY...

I think because the texture for the ACOG Rifleman is black and since it's a very popular kit it results in a lot of black people on the team.

Umm, they all look green to me..

It's per kit. Acog Riflemen is a very popular kit, and it just so happens that the soldier is colored.

Aimpoint riflemen is a white soldier I believe.

I think it just picks a texture from the pool randomly.

Also I was just thinking about this

That picture has released a critical and excess amount of funny into my system. Undertaking vocal countermeasures to relieve excess funny.

On a side note, do we not have any colored soldiers in the British army? Now that I think of it, I don't recall ever seeing on.

95% of the DEV team is black, if my calculations are correct

It turns out that the Devs were actually employed to put subliminal messages into PR in order to get a certain candidate to win a certain election.

Waldo, would you mind not posting the WIP renders for PR2 in a public thread please? The new Commander-in-Chief model was supposed to be a surprise.

JKRMAUI · Post by **JKRMAUI** » 2009-07-31 03:26

My point being, in PR. Do we have black soldier models in the British Army, I cannot honestly recall ever seeing one.

i have noticed this too. im not a racist but it would be nice if it was made random.

Post by **Masaq** » 2009-07-31 03:54

Can't be made random; each spawn kit has an assigned base texture, then when you request a new kit you get the new kit geometry over your existing player model. If everyone spawns in as scoped rifleman then requests sniper, marksman, light AT, heavy AT, pilot etc - you get a bunch of black snipers, marksmen, AT guys and pilots.

If the pixellated ethnic makeup of a team is that much of an issue, just spawn as something other in the interests of keeping the lovely multicolour, multicultural team basis alive

I have a question. Why are there so many asians in the US team? I don't know if there is something wrong with my install, but almost every US that arent black, are asian (Same face model as PLA).

Rifleman Specialist Kit uses the Asian face, that's why. IIRC:

Officer: White
Rifleman (Optics): Black
Rifleman (Irons): Black
Medic: White
Specialist: Asian

and long ago:
Engineer: White
