Sunglasses for bluFOR?

SkaterCrush · 08-13-2009, 08:35 AM

From what I've seen, quite a few (80%+) military personnel (at least for the US) seem to like to wear sunglasses during daytime operations. It wouldn't be too hard seeing as there was a model for the British SF guy and all you would have to do is re-texture it and put it on all (some/most) of the US troops at least. Sure its purely cosmetic, but it would make everyone a lot cooler

and it would show PR's appreciation of detail.

Humm, sounds pretty Hollywood to be tbh. Well, I like it nontheless, would look really badass

The "all you have to do"-part takes quite some work

. The glasses should then be part of the kit geometry.

It's not hollywood, it's quite realistic.

As far as I am aware, it's part of the kit that everyone has to wear. Atleast it's mandatory for those in a Stryker brigade. When there's loads of stuff around, you want to be sure that your eyes are protected

Eh well I'm not a gamer not a modeler

I mean it doesn't seem like much work

Yes, but it is

When it comes to changing stuff in BF2, simply assume that'll it be a lot of work, even if it's "just" taking the sunglasses off one guy and putting them on other models.

This is right, at least in US Army and Marines soldiers must wear goggles or sunglasses that passes ANSI Z87.1 requirements for impact protection. They offer great protection for eyes.

Would be great to see these added into kit geometries.

The question is...would Insurgents get them if they take the kit? That would be awesome

TeRR0R · 08-13-2009, 09:59 AM

very good idea!

oh, i can imagine insurgent brawls about who get the sunglasses from the victims! who cares for the guns?

maybe the sunglasses should work for the player, if possible, making the screen a little darker
