Post cool Soldier designs
Only god tier designs are allowed in this thread
Say what you will about MGSV, but the designs for the XOF goons were fucking excellent.
>>386888450
This series basically ripped off Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
>>386888450
My nigga
>>386888729
pretty much everything posted so far does that. its a fucking great design.
>>386888729

The Combine are aesthetic as fuck, unlike most of the over-designed garbage that get posted in these threads.
>>386889918
Good taste my man.
Now I feel like replaying.
>>386890363
Yeah, me too. I saw a thread yesterday and it reminded me this series still existed. Too bad the games are pretty short
guess i'm alone here
>>386890706
shit I forgot about these guys, they look great
Still sucks they were the bad guys
All talk about ODST but no one remembers Halo CE Marines
>>386888584
Such a goddamn shame they were so underused
I thought there would be more missions where you actively combat XOF, but they only appear in the first and "last" missions
>>386891150
Only because ME3's shit writing turned them into Saturday morning cartoon villains. I'll take Cerberus over Alliance any day
>>386890706
>>386890931
I hate how bulky the helmets look and how they never show them wearing their little face masks anymore
>>386888584
Never played MGS games but I always thought they were spot-on with their soldier designs. Slick as fuck.

>glowing red eye nazis
Wowzers, creative genius.
>>386890706
I prefer the simple in-game models if I'm being entirely truthful with you my lad.
>>386888584
I like the hospital level just for them.
Though on the topic of MGS I'm still trying to figure out if the DD balaclava is based on a real thing, I kind of want one.

This boss fight was fucking incredible, but every review I read for the game shat on this part and said to just pilot the helicopters and ignore the railgun.
Getting 3 other buddies and getting everything coordinated where you're stocking ammo, loading, charging, aiming, and firing is incredibly satisfying.
>>386893419
Don't forget the sand pirate beaners who's first response to seeing a giant military landship is "let's steal it". I think they're my favorite faction since everyone else is full-on jap stick up their ass srs bisniss 24/7.
I still don't know if I like their sputnik hats or not.

I know this doesn't really count but I fucking love how Jensen looks
>>386893761
I unironically love the blocky visor. Except the 360 one the commander wore, that shit was silly.

To the best of my knowledge this isn't actually from anything but it's still one of my favorite designs.

>>386896651
Fug that face mask looks so good
Dragonslayer Axe is one of my favorite axe designs, it's nice and simple/practical looking while still having a distinct silhouette, and the armor is an excellent example of how to make generic soldier armor look intimidating without resorting to glowy eyes and skulls.
>>386896528
Let's not pretend some high school dropout with a $10 skull mask he bought from Walmart before deployment will strike fear to anyone.

>>386899142
Crysis 2 and 3 were abhorrent shit.
I want it dead.
Also the KPA Nanosuit has a nice colour scheme but is otherwise uninspired.
>>386899214
Metal Gear has gud art.
>>386899142
The Korean nanosuit was repurposed from a piece of concept art
>>386895352
I was going to post something from this. I LOVE the designs, but the community is so garbage these days I can't be bothered to reinstall it.

Don't give a fuck about cod but I do give a fuck about aaron beck
>>386900886
Aaron Beck is interesting because while I like most of his stuff he's popular enough it's cause it to spawn a gorillion ripoffs in style to the point it's nearly "generic".
>>386900559
>I feel like one of the points of Wolfenstein is everyone is Nazi'd to fuck and back because they won.
I understand that, but i would like to see more wehrmacht, its like they just disappeared.

Always had a thing for Nod designs, must be the black and red. If I could get a more updated design/image of their Tiberian Sun infantry I'd probably bust a nut
>>386902094
I'd say even after it's last major update it was pretty good. They finally made weapon parts permanent between weapons so you didn't have to buy the same fucking barrel 4 times, and added in some new exosuits. Quests made currency gain pretty quick too.
Unfortunately just too late for the dying community

not really a soldier as much as a force of nature by the time he puts that suit on though
Did enjoy arctic style
>>386900886

Nah, weeb mechs usually have pretty solid designs.
Aaron Beck is fucking garbage even compared to most western mecha designers.
Even if I think their aesthetic sensibilities are shit at least most western designs have a bit of artistic ability put into them, Aaron has no fucking talent whatsoever, he just mindlessly photoshops shit together from pictures he gets from google image search then traces the resulting mess in order to make hideous clusterfucks that try so fucking hard to be realistic even though anyone who's ever looked at real world robots and other technology such as aircraft and tanks should know Aaron's designs are the most impractical, nonsensical pieces of shit possible, but they're not even nonsensical in a cool or fun way, just a retarded way.

Battlefield 4 models are boring in some way compared to 3
>>386904480
They will when powered armor allows them to wear helmets that can stop rifle bullets and they can completely cover the head in armor while having the wearer see through small cameras mounted externally.

Vostok is going nowhere with Survarium so clearly nothing was really lost talent wise.
Im cautiously optimistic because Sergei's autistic stranglehold on the STALKER IP shows he trusts noone to make it but himself and hes got two and a half good games under his belt.
I hope he funnels alot of the profits from Cossacks into the development of STALKER and doesnt let anyone sway how he wants to make it.

His work is less of a cluster fuck than that god damn sentence. Never mind that the dude is more than capable of producing art without the need of photoshop. The entire point to photobashing and constantly drawing from real life is to show that the designs are not necessarily 'realistic', but grounded.
And Garasaki is ultra shit and probably the most unrealistic of weeb mechs. Try again.

It died. Not too sad to see it go though. Any game f2p game where you can only rent weapons unless you drop cash or do insane amounts of grinding is the lowest of the low in terms of microtransactions in my opinion.
Still, I gotta hand it to them. The armor designs were fucking awesome.
>>386892308
Kill yourself attention whore.
>>386911690
I like some of Reach's design and dislike others.
Like the ODST, for example, I think they tried to make it more "realistic" or tacticool but it just came out too cluttered. I love how the human weapons look, though, SPARTAN-IIIs too

Well, shit, they don't look so different from the Army. Would have been nice to see some graphically updated Halo CE Marines.
You'd think Halo CEA would have done that, but nope, they just reused Reach assets. And not even the proper ones.
>>386892308
Did OP ask you to rate them? Hm?
>>386906921
This.
Would've been interesting to see their perspective on the aliens.
But no that would require good writing.
People speculated they were EXALT before the game came out.

I think the gear in anniversary is right. The helmets in reach are based on a mixture of 3's and CE's
The Army tends to wear green/camo uniforms with white helmets
>>386912896
I think the desert camo is more common

Another thing that bugs me about the Advent in XCOM 2 is they seem to go out of their way to pretty much trigger every "evil totalitarian regime" flag there is. They wouldn't be able to convince a single person to support them because they would activate every single "memetic antibody" we have as described here
http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/13/evil-is-anti-inductive/
Their rhetoric against Xcom in-game is typical emperor palpatine-esque "WE ARE BRINGING PEACE AND ORDER TO THE WORLD AND THESE REBELS AND THEIR DELUSIONS OF FREEDOM THREATEN THAT ORDER THEY MUST BE CRUSHED!" shit.
You know what might have worked better? Claiming X com was racist and that anything that made the aliens sound bad was just bigoted xenophobic propaganda. That's a message that right now humans would be much more susceptible to than shit taken straight from 1984. I get that the devs might be worried about the message that would send in the modern political climate, but if you were an alien occupier trying to manipulate humans it would undoubtedly be the most potent propaganda tool at your disposal.

Fucking loved the designs in BF4, American and Russian recon and engineer were my favorites. But they really dropped the ball on China, they look like mercenaries. Hell they even had PLA models in singleplayer that they could have used. Assault would have been cooler without the facemask too.

I love how the best looking armors in Halo 5 are all armors designed by Bungie from Reach. I know the space diaper is silly for most space marine characters, but it really adds to the bulk and image of the Spartans.

There are a few good designs by 343i, but they don't posted because people cant use them to spend half a thread talking about how halo is dead and 343i raped their childhood.
>>386917269
They managed to fix some of it, anon. On PC it hasn't lost a player in two months.
Console is very lively.
>>386917269
How did he manage to grab the sword by the blade and slam the (whats the name of the blunt guard thing by the handgrip?) into the dudes shoulder? How'd he not lose his fingers?
>>386917269
What has been up with Ubisoft lately with great concepts and base gameplay but horrible post launch support and balancing?
>>386917517
>fighting against autists that have been playing since day one
lol
>>386917545
Swords actually aren't THAT sharp. You could grab most swords with a gauntleted hand and the blade wouldn't hurt you. And that's called a crossguard.
>>386917504
I said best armors, not the good ones. The good ones are few and far between, but the ones that look like they'd pass for armor are from Reach.
I guess what I mean is that they seem more in line with the rest of the series. Yes, adaptation is smart, but change for the sake of I'M DIFFERENT LOOK AT ME is garbage. Like the armor change of the chief from H3 to H4?
>"What the fuck bitch?"
>"Nanobots."
>"Ohhhh, that explains everything!"
I'm not against change, just give me good reason for it.
>>386887836
Before Ubisoft got to it desu
>>386917489
Nah I dont care about that, plus I'm talking about helmets/masks with no "people" features, like a distinct eye port, nose, etc. Stuff like pic related or warframe as opposed to Helghast or halo armors.
>>386917757
Ah, thanks for the name. I was always under the impression that swords were of a nearly razor like sharpness.
>>386917776
That helmet was always the coolest. EVA or something like that?
>>386917776
The chiefs armor is probably where most of the hate for the new armors come from, and I still don't understand how anyone at 343i thought it would be ok. Nanobots don't even make sense because he still has the mark from when he fell at the beginning at 3 in his breastplate even though the rest of his armor is completely redisgned.
>>386918210
>I was always under the impression that swords were of a nearly razor like sharpness.
Your were probbaly thinking of katanas bro, that shit needs to be sharp if you are going to cutting through shit tier western steel desu.
>>386918210
The thing is swords dull rather quickly. Most schools of swordplay highly suggest dodging instead of parrying for the sole purpose that it can dull out your blade. Some swords, like sabres or rapiers are known for being extremely sharp, but they're not as robust as broadswords or anything like that and thus not as reliable for a rank and file soldier.
>>386917545
look up halfswording
>>386917404
It's dehumanizing. That makes the character more intimidating.
>>386918142
>>386917404
The idea behind a lot of armies is that they're faceless and innumerable. This seems like the most intimidating evolution of that concept.
I'm the opposite though, I really like having human features on soldiers to remind us that there's a person putting his or her life on the line for their cause.
>>386918604
I get that, whenever I play ratchet and clank I never get the top tier armor cause it covers his face and I always liked watching his mouth during cutscenes.
Something about the helmets screams hero
>>386918604
>I really like having human features on soldiers to remind us that there's a person putting his or her life on the line for their cause.
If Red Orchestra was anything to go by this still didn't matter because someone had to die at the end of the day. People don't like to be reminded of that the person they just shot and is bleeding to death screaming for mama is also a son and maybe even a father.
>>386918810
It's probably the blue/gold color scheme honestly more than the helmets.
>>386918810
These guys scream asshole but strict
>>386918272
EVA was pretty cool. I can imagine jumping out in planetary orbit with that kind of viewscreen to watch yourself fly into the atmosphere being fucking amazing.
>>386918352
Oh I know. Get 343i to explain that one to you, because I just call bullshit. Hell, Bungie at least got it right in their story with the MkVI, where in-game it's said that the suit came up from some Earth-based testing facility that morning, and then when the comics came out, it had a scene where another spartan was testing the very suit that was sent up to John later that day, so you can assume it got put through its paces a little on the ground. 343i's approach? Space magic.
You can still stay true to the original material and change it, without having to make shit up on the spot to make it passable for those who don't think about this shit, but of course, everyone who ever played Halo 3 and then Halo 4 is asking the question "WHAT THE FUCK 343".
>>386918381
>>386918431
>>386918459
So I looked up halfswording on Wikipedia, and I see what you mean about using different attack (parry?) techniques in combat - especially my question earlier about the hand on the blade, looks like he's using the blade as the pivot point and then pulling down with the other hand, not pushing, so as to not slice into his fingers.
Also, I couldn't pass this up. These need to go in the Ye Olden Tyme meyemes.

They aren't actually killing anyone and they know they aren't. The "dehumanization" of gaming is no worse than what you see in sport.
It's actually not that hard to get one human to kill another, you just have to have some form of artifice between the two people to king of abstract the action. Stabbing is easier than beating to death, shooting is easier than stabbing, bombing is easier than shooting, etc., etc. I'm not just talking about the physical act being easier to perform with better tools, I'm talking about the moral qualms people have with killing someone being reduced more and more as the individual is further removed from the result even though the result in all cases is known to be the same.

metal handle is for medics or squadmates to drag wounded to safety. It is very difficult to lift dead weight in human shape off the ground.
Even more so when adding the weight of worn equipment.

The only thing I disliked about it was how skinny it was. You can't fit a navy seal in that thing. Navy seals are all buff cunts.
That said, I hated the nanosuit 2 even more because it just looked like a body builder in a metal codpiece. They really should have added some webbing and armor to it.
