Detail requested for Black Marine Armor

T-Striker

<div class="IPBDescription">"Suck it!"</div>As one of the special pre-orders, the black marine armor sounded "good" but rather not too great of sorts.

Sure, I didn't get the pre-order for the armor, and it's just a small little extra incentive and I liked that idea. But while going through the videocasts, I came across something that I feel embodies NS2, it's developers, and all us supports in the community in a way too good to pass up.

Here's the videocast

And for a screen of it I took

NOW THEN!
I would like to the see the words "SUCK IT!" poorly painted in bright color, like yellow, on the black marine armor. So it stands out like a sore thumb.


Just having "Black Marine Armor" is too simple, but we don't want to over complex you guys with stuff like special custom armor, different helmets. or other worthless stuff. Besides, that's too silly. Really we don't want to make you guys work any extra so we get the game sooner. But I feel this would not really put in any extra load on the work, and will give us SE pre-orders something unique, special, and otherwise confusing to the people that pick up the game after release.

Just imagine a new player, turning, and see you, in black armor.... with the words SUCK IT!, written across the upper right of your chest in bright paint to contrast the black armor. The confusing thoughts in his head would be priceless.

So as an old vet of NS, I would like to humbly request this detail for the armor!

Who's with me?!

How bout on the Female Marine, on the right side of her chest it says: <3 Gorge. (And that wasn't meant to be mistaken as: <3 George.) (By her Male Marine peers of course.) =)

Or a fusion of the above two ideas?
*Cough*

1: Considering that Onos don't chew, I'd rather not give them ideas that involve my armor and their mouth.

2: While I am fine with decals (like spraypaint, but for armor? awesome!) I like plain colors a lot, and wouldn't like having something written on special armor unless *I* wanted it.

So "yea" for decals on armor, so I can ignore it, and OP can have his "SUCK IT". "No" for having stuff written on stock armor.

Yes... black armor that heavily contrasts against every concept art and trailer (for both hallways and infestation) for ns2 with nice big bright yellow writing on the back of the armor... and probably the front to.. why not... glad i got the green armor :P You guys can take my # in the dieing-queue :)

The contrast would only be well seen to marines, because if you haven't realized from NS1..... marines GLOW RED to alien's special vision mode, which is usually on 98% of the time for any player. The idea of having a yellow SUCK IT show up on armor would only be easily seen by your fellow marines, which, on top of black armor, would make you feel special when a noob sees SUCK IT in his face. Of course it can be seen by aliens, but it's not like it'd help them spot you and I doubt it'd help them pick off marines.

It'd just enhance the badassness of the armor. . . . . . yes I said badassness

But yeah, I guess I should state the update of the idea of the detail to an optional detail allowing special armor marking since some prefer cold hard plain armor... and make suck it and a few others special for pre-orders only :P

A <3 Gorge would be funny too
