Helghast genuinely did nothing wrong for the first two games.
That said, I don't think the intention was for them to be totally evil, but just cool-looking badasses with somewhat understandable motivations and grievances. The Brit accent helps make them somewhat less cartoonishly evil, but damned if they don't also look really cool.
What do you think of their designs in Shadow Fall? I think they got too busy and high-tech looking.
>>33876250
I only played the first. All that I remember is that they looked kinda cool and, yeah, the sort of feeling that the player wasn't exactly standing on the highest of moral grounds.
>>33876250
Helghast were a bunch of smelly poor basement dwelling neckbeards who rallied behind a guy who told them they could have freedom.
This guy then nuked them and was killed by the enemy but still can't win 'em all I suppose.
Their uniforms are the reason I pre-ordered Killzone Three. Those AESTHETICS almost make up for the criminally short game.

>>33876287
I would have liked to see BF1 do some cool alternative history, but no, they just had to pander to SJWs that weren't even going to play their game. Imagine a campaign where you played as a member of a crack team of tunnelers and saboteurs, given experimental gear and all the trimmings. You could have a nervous farmboy, a patriotic private school officer guy, a family man that just wants to get through the war to see his wife again. Through the campaign you see them all break a little, your character along with them. Halfway through the campaign, you start to notice through newspaper fragments and things that the war isn't going how it did in our timeline, and there's some strange time warp things going on. Or maybe angels descend from the skies to assist you in a charge you'd otherwise not live through, or the barbed wire comes to life and starts snapping at you like a living thing, hell, anything to really drive home that idea of war messing with your head. Little things or big things, things that can't be explained.
Fuck, I just really want a paranormal operator game with some subtlety and no jumpscares, just a constant dreadful feeling of things not being as they should.

I agree with you on that. I feel like DICE should've just scrapped the campaign altogether though. They never make decent SP campaigns, they're always short and entertaining.

>>33876821
>make them French/Germans and not Brits or Americans
Oh, for sure. I'd love to have those moments of quiet, too. Where the team is all just sitting cleaning their gear, drying their clothes, taking stock. Maybe the farmboy starts singing a song in French, the married man takes a photograph of his family and shows it to the straight-laced officer to warm him up a little.
FPS games don't have that feeling during the intermission parts, because we've grown accustomed to the chopper ALWAYS going down and the quiet ALWAYS being suddenly broken. There's balance, and you've got to have it. It allows the aftertaste of a mission to be illustrated, to really show through.
I remember reading a book by Spike Milligan about his time in Africa with the Royal Artillery, and there's a part in the book where they find a bombed out house with a baby grand piano on the second floor. The floor is barely holding together, but one of his mates goes over to it and starts to play Lachrymosa on it. They also meet a dog near the house that, it's later found out, used to live there. One of the guys ends up killing the dog in the night when it takes him by surprise. Things like that, maybe it would seem ham-fisted to a modern audience, but hey it actually happened.
The FPS genre could do so much. It continues to refuse its true destiny.

Its fucking great, but its the kind of game where you need to actually need to think about your build and read the tutorials if you want to last past the first hour
The combat is simple but fun, you've got tons of great guns and powers, lots of different viable builds and the aesthetic of the world and backstory is great, plot is pretty good but let down somewhat by slightly strange translation choices

'war is bad' wow so deep
you realize your writing actually has to be good to be in a videogame? that sounds like something my son would write.
have you considered perhaps having stories deeper than 'people who have families die in war and that is sad'
movies like apocalypse now and full metal jacket at least attempt to convey deeper comments than generic sad trash.
no one thinks war is good. your message is unoriginal, empty and meaningless and serves no purpose outside of jerking yourself off. that story doesn't sound interesting at all.
>>33876368
Well the point of the bf campaign isn't really to tell a story but to introduce you to multiplayer concepts and teach you how to do them. Unfortunately they did the same thing they did with hardline and added a bunch of stealth shit to pad the games length.
>>33877764
>this is the most cliche, unoriginal shit i've ever read
I'm not saying it's original or groundbreaking or anything like that, far from it. I think it'd be good to do something cliche and do it well. You seen that movie Train to Busan? That's a cliche zombie flick, but it's enjoyable because it plays it all straight and does it pretty well.
>you realize your writing actually has to be good to be in a videogame? that sounds like something my son would write.
Fair enough. The purpose of any kind of art, high or low brow, is to make you think and feel a certain way, right? I mainly just wanted to bring the idea forward. How would you suggest I make a better story? Deeper meaning I can figure out somehow, but I was just spitballing basic ideas for the surface in my post up above.
>>33877870
>Train to Busan
Dudeee yes that movie was great, RIP blue jacket guy, you were MVP
>>33876357
Yea but look underneath that dude is wearing chainmail. What kind of retard wears chainmail under a gambeson?
>>33877693
Also you get to shit on this guy throughout the game and the dialogue is great
>>33876388
>posts pictures of prototypes that never made it into actual use because of said reason
wow you really showed him
>>33877870
your story needs to seperate overlying theme from actual story
if you want the story to be about the sadness of war, that's fine. but that can't BE the story if you understand what i'm getting at
you need a story which has actual antagonists, motivations, character pros and flaws, conflicts and resolutions. characters slowly dying across the story and the protaganist losing his mind isn't a story, it's a theme.
i guess a good analogy would be that these sprts of themes are like condiemnts. adding them to something makes it better, but they fall flat on their own.
if you give me a guy who wants to go home to his wife and have him die, i won't be upset.
if you have him have conflicts and problems and have these interact and tie in to other character's conflicts and problems, i begin to feel invested in him and any death becomes far more shocking.
this is the big problem with fans suggesting stories for war games,a nd media in general. they think up the saddest/coolest idea in their head and think 'wow, i could totally do a better job than these professional writers', failing to realize these don't work on their own, and actually writing a drama is very complex and difficult.
>>33877721
Oh I forgot to mention that the end objectives of eye are not great story telling or character interactions, its about killing things and having fun doing it
If you're expecting Deus Ex levels of story and writing you're going to be let down, the characters are good, the story is good, but the end product is about murdering things with big guns and sick space ninja flips

>>33876224
>those fucking glowing eyes

>>33877931
He probably has a thinner aketon underneath. But you are right, why give up the non cutting advantage of the chain mail for the padded layer to be exposed and cut up?
>>33877026
Is this from anything?
>>33879352
Why does he have a rifle instead of a pistol carbine then? Unless he is charging into a trench in which case he won't have nearly enough room to maneuver his shield or his rifle or if he's charging into a building in which case why not make the shield larger if his job is specifically to charge into building?
And this doesn't answer why are you making him carry a shield when his hands can be freed by simply strapping the armor to his torso if you are worried enough to make him wear a facemask.
Modern ballistic shields have a use in modern times that they work well in but this is just having a shield for the sake of having a shield.

That hasn't always been the case. Armor/Weapon balance has swung back and forth. Just that since guns, its been universally favoring weapons in the Infantry arena.
