Customization

USAF-Marshall · Post by **USAF-Marshall** » 2005-12-05 08:02

I know that there have been topics about customizing weapons and such, please excuse me if this has been brought up or is already in the game....

I dont know about anyone else but I get sick of running out of ammo as a Medic or something and picking up an assaulter kit and instantly changing race..... lol, something not right about watching your partner standing next to you switching from black to white, or white to black in the heat of combat. Is there any thought of making Characters customizable so that when you make your character you can choose skin tone and such (If it is even possible with BF2)?

Pretty good idea nice to bring the essance of vietnam back in to bf2 wold be handy as the ability to change your skin coulor on bf2 is scary
starnge that you cant change to mec when you pick up an ak.

I had a bug once that did that. It put me as a black man in their uniform, wasnt very subtle but it was funny as hell when my own team as well as MEC got confused as all hell.... worked great until I got hit with friendly tank fire

But yeah, it bugs switching like that.... lol. Wish we could completely customize stuff like Height (from 5'7'' to 6'5'' or something) as well as maybe eye color, hair color and skin tone... Wouldnt mind seeing being able to customize load out before you spawn too, would never happen though but doesnt hurt to dream lol.

lol if you could change to mec/china skin, there would be SOOO many more FF problems in vanilla

lol, would be funny listening on the headset to "You a--hole, why did you shoot me!?" With a confused voice on the other end, "huh?" followed by a "You have been punished by a team kill" that alot of us are familiar with

USAF: SOLDNER did that... but it was way too extreme... everyone had a diff uniform, weapon, etc. it just looked damn ridiculous.

but i think a simple customisizable loadout (iron sites, RDS, 4x24 scope) with perhaps choice of number of frags / smoke.

more advanced like height, body mass, hair, eye, etc would be WAY out of the capabilities of this engine i would think (some MMORPG do this, but they spend a considerable amount of time developing this, being it a very key feature of attracting potential new customers)

We could always remove the ability to pick up kits.

lol that is why I said dream. I would like to be able to customize my load out though. M16, 3 Frags, 2 Smokes, 3 mags.... would be kick a--. But back on the dream note, maybe adding name tags to the uniforms too would be cool
