Not much has been done on for on reskining the soldiers for the MEC and USMC. They look just the same as from Vanilla, and having that in PR feels outdated.
Why not making a more interesting and modern look, particularly the MEC, and this guy, what is this, the Arab version of Freddy Mercury? Giving me the creeps everytime I see it:

There's more than one MEC soldier, they don't all look like clones.
Also lol@claims that something is "vanilla" when you obviously haven't played Bf2 for so long you forgot what it looks like.

The PR skins pwn the 'nilla ones, and the mec guy just looks charming

The MEC soldiers are the best looking in the game imo. They're quite fine as they are.
And I was wrong about the MG3, it does look good.

Best looking in the game have to be the British Soldier with the shemagh on
But back on topic, the skins are awesome for MEC. They look like actual people, there gear used to get confusing between USMC and MEC but that was fixed (or i just got used to it). All in all the skins at the moment are spot on. Thumbs up to the artwork team from me

god i forgot how much the nilla skins
inhales
good work by the texturers
question regarding faces, are they somehow selected randomly or do certain kits have certain faces?
also (to be an arse) i thought the G3 was a battle rifle

each spawn kit has a particular face, which is why often you find yourself in a chopper full of 1 white officer, 1 white medic, and a load of black guys in the USMC

OMG THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!
Saobh, seriously...inhales? wait Can I say "Sucks" or was it really that bad?
to the OP, Yeah man, go play some vanilla for 20 minutes and you will have a great appreciation for PR once more. PR and its soon to be plethora of skins.

ROFL!!! Rudd, seriously brother, that was so true its hilarious. Why aren't there any black officers except the rifleman who requests it as a kit?
DEV's you must address such racism...if you haven't already.

Acemantura, it depends on the context.
"I blow out a candle" is okay, "I
inhale Masaq" isn't.
Also, you can't have multiple skins for one kit, so you can't have black and white officers.

Rifleman Specialist: Asian American
Rifleman ACOG: African American
Rifleman Aim-point: Caucasian
Corpsman: Caucasian
Auto Rifleman: African American
Officer (Both): The new beardless face. =)
And since most SMs, go for a scoped M16/M4, they spawn in with a African American model, which relates to what Rudd said.
lol! That's great! So many stereotypes from this little list...
