Units Poll
So we need opinions on what the unit system should be like. For normal infantry, should we have several different units with different uniforms(like NW) or just restrict the players to be normal soldiers with standard uniforms(normal FPS)? While we do take the poll results into account, written responses that provide strong arguments are much more influential to our decisions. Just like the last poll, the poll results do not decide what we choose to do.
Points to think about on the 2nd Option(normal soldiers with standard uniforms)
-You won't be able to play as units like the ANZACs, Foreign Legion, or Jaegers. However, it'll also mean that we can include much more randomization for the standard uniform. Making every player unique in slight changes of the uniform. For example, some french soldiers having their
coat flaps folded back and
some letting it loose. Or maybe some Adrian helmets having the
strap and some not having any at all. If you really want to play as one of the special units that participated in the war, there's always the option of re-skin.
-More realistic considering the fact that due to server size, the engagements are really company vs company, and in a company you really wouldn't find both a normal French soldier and a Foreign Legionnaire with Khaki uniform.
-Classes will be more focused on gameplay rather than visuals, like maybe selecting a class that brings more ammo to the fight in exchange for not having a bayonet. So while players can't customize how they look as much, they have more options on how they want to fight.
-We'll be able to get a release out earlier and spend more time on things like weapons and scene props.
