Ok did anyone have BAttlefeild veitnam? OK in that game(lower engine that BF2) U could change what ur chartacter looked like. Here a a list of options for a US soldier:
1)Black Body
2)White body
3)Hat
4)Helmet
5)Bag(in a mod)
6)No bag(in a mod)

Ok so can the Devs do this it would be reallly cool So can the Devs do this or not.

In BF2 you have heavy or light models. Black and Caucasian in the USMC team.
This is hardcoded. And even if it was possible its a very bad idea.

I'd hardly call it a very bad idea.

...and has been suggested before.

Another "if possible" one that I would definately like to see.
Even if you only have a choice between two bodies and two
heads, it still adds a little variety to the battlefield.

Anyone remember those pre-release MEC guys, with the
cloth and goggles? There's an ideal candidate right there.

Here is the link to the year old thread.

Can real life soldiers choose his own camo?

Oh ok thanks i was unsure and HOW IS THIS A BAD IDEA!

I'm half expecting some politically correct BS as an answer, oh how I loathe that ****.

It must be a bad idea cos he disagrees with you.
I on the other hand agree with you so it's a good idea too

However, yeah. Hardcoded and should be in Suggestions.

Some of you guys just like to be nay-sayers around here, don't you?

I usually never nay-say. I probably should have put in a IMO

I don't mind a little customization between player models... Hell, it'd be cool to see different rifleman with different backpacks and bags on themselves. However, I think customizing player models sounds hardcoded...

Yet another reminder of joint ops, being able to choose who you played was cool I thought.

Now that there are only a few base kits (that you don't have to request) there should be something like "Caucasian Medic", "Black Medic" so you can choose what your base kit look like then if you request an other kit you stay black... or white...

But that adds up to 8 different classes. Only 7 available. Nice idea though. But how should we do about the other armies? Beard/no beard for MEC? Fat or thin for Chinese?

Well, you get the idea

Maybe the same thing but with helm/no helm or the type of camo... ect...

Well helmet is a must in controversial forces, so the no helm thing is not gonna happen. And I dont think your allowed to change camo....

you guys should play joint operations from novalogic. in that game you had a real character customization.

Eh, pretty cool idea I guess, but then it's also not a cool idea IMO. I really don't think it's a huge deal whether your character is black or white on the battlefield (no, I am not going to say African American because not every black person is from Africa). And honestly, it really shouldn't matter in the least. It wouldn't affect game play at all and it's just one more thing to do on the already full plate that the devs are working with.

well, what you could use is the weapon unlock thing for BF2 and make the weapon "attached" to a model, so attached to the weapon is the desired playermodel. if it was hardcoded, thats how i would do it, however it would look really silly when you point up and the model swings up too...

You use what you're given, now fall out.
