ChrisND Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Time for a quick comparison between soldiers from Shock Force and Black Sea! Just showing US soldiers for now. Everyone thank Vein for the excellent US soldier textures, and Webwing for models/animations! Note that artwork is in progress. Also I apologize for big images in advance. Recap: Shock Force soldiers were often a bit... stiff. Although one heck of an upgrade since the three stooges of CMx1 days, there was a lot of improvement to be made. For one thing, all of the soldier gear was identical regardless of what the soldier was carrying. Clone Wars! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Here's the new US soldier look: (NOTE: some uniform and weapon textures are still a work in progress. You'll see black textures and placeholders. Don't freak.) Gear changes dynamically based on what weapon the soldier is carrying. Soldiers using a M4 Carbine have magazines inserted into their TAP harness. M-25 CDTE gunners have magazine pouches for the M-25 CDTE, guys with 7.62 rifles have 7.62 pouches, rifle grenadiers have rifle grenade pouches and a grenade bandolier, RTOs have a radio backpack etc. And of course, in night conditions they'll don NVGs: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 ChrisND, Thanks for these. I see many interesting things as far as weapons and gear, together with an anatomical problem urgently in need of addressing. Please look at the left hand of the man with the SAW. He seems to have achieved the impossible, and I say this as a leftie. While we're on infantry, has there been any code change you can discuss so that infantry has the good sense to observe and shoot, where possible, from in the room, rather than at the windows and doorways?

Mord Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 How far we've come. I can remember seeing those CMSF guys for the first time and going, man they look cool. But these new dudes blow them away. Great job Webwing and Vein. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 How far we've come. I can remember seeing those CMSF guys for the first time and going, man they look cool.

DMS Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Looks great. While we're on infantry, has there been any code change you can discuss so that infantry has the good sense to observe and shoot, where possible, from in the room, rather than at the windows and doorways? I would like to see soldiers shooting aroung the corner in the cities, changing squad mates when they emptied magazine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshoot Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't know squat about the modern uniforms, but some of those close up shots are really highlighting the funky sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck. It should angle from behind the ear to the inner part of the collar bone (rather than going straight down the neck from the back of the jaw). I think it is like this in the WW2 games too, but if you are revisiting the textures and have time, it might be something you could look at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagler Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dont want to be that guy, but the multicam texture sample on the pouches is very small compared to that on the uniforms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardstick Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dont want to be that guy, but the multicam texture sample on the pouches is very small compared to that on the uniforms. I agree. The textures look awful. I really hope they get sorted out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I concur..but modders will sort that out if BF don't. I agree. The textures look awful. I really hope they get sorted out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Those are awesome pics. I especially love the one with NVG. It always bugged me abit when the US Marine in CMSF would wear their black sunglasses during night battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I agree. The textures look awful. I really hope they get sorted out. Keep in mind you are looking at a screenshot from someone else's machine. Your mileage may vary. I have the good fortune to look at them on my machine. I like em. Regardless I am sure the modders will have a field day anyway. Variety of choices is a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraft Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Keep in mind you are looking at a screenshot from someone else's machine. Your mileage may vary. Unless this is on the lowest possible texture resolution setting it isn't all that shiny no matter what machine is displaying the texture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
