Hats

[Ywain 16]

I think one of the difficulties in this game is recognizing people that you already know. You might've met up with someone, but the next time you see him, you might instead pull a trigger only to go 'Oh shit' when he dies and his name pops up.

So, how do we fix this problem?

I think hats, much like Team Fortress 2, would make this issue a lot more realistic. Consider it for a moment; there could be hundreds upon hundreds of hats. You'd recognize your friend by the hat he wears - but wait! Someone else might wear the same hat as him. This reflects the fact that people in real life can look similar, especially from far away. It'd be difficult to tell who each other is until you get close enough to actually talk, which reflects you can't really distinguish people from far away.

Anyways, thanks for reading, and feel free to leave CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and comments.

custom faces would be cooler

There is already custom faces.. well kinda ;P

That being said, I would be happy with different items you can find. Personally, instead of changing character models, it would be cool (if possible) to have things like customizable clothing, like hats, different jackets, perhaps a Kevlar vest, etc.

I think Rocket has already said he lothes this kind of content (vanity items)

However, if it gives some context and practicality like identifying someone.

I think it stands to reason that player customization should be created.

I dont think it would be that hard to write a script that calls what ever customization the player has made in the profile setup.

Restrict it to civilian clothing and I think its a great idea.

Same mesh, multiple skins.

Tshirts/Pants/hats.. to start with would only need to be a skin change in a menu.

about 5-8 pants and hat types could be done... but you have literally hundreds of T shirt types that could be done.

But going more in depth... I think player visual customization would be only a benefit to the game.

At the moment, you have 2 types that spawn at random.. blue shirt/black shirt.

It potentially means 10-30 or so skins could spawn at random, the more variation...

the less likely you would confuse someone else for the person you teamed up with.

Also multiple head skin choices... white/black/asian/Male/Female + hair colour + 5-10 different hair styles.

Then add on things like rare spawns such as flack jackets, Bomb tech suit, Armor, Ghilli suits, tactical and military gear.

But personally, I wish there was no hat by default.
