Black Elite Assault Marine Skin?

NazrudinNazrudin Join Date: 2009-09-17 Member: 68811Members, Reinforced - Supporter, Reinforced - Silver, Reinforced - Shadow
For those that have the regular Black Armor, will it be possible to get the new Elite Assault Marine or Assault Marine as black armor?

Just curious.

    Doubtful, They are their own armour. Like Deluxe Armour and black armour where 2 armours for different things. You didn't get people with black armour getting black deluxe armour.

    The elite assault armour looks to be plated in a much darker colour (close to dark gray?) as well. The normal assault marine is green and that is in fact the difference between the two reinforced armours, Diamond -> Shadow and above

    Both armour types are disconnected from the Black Spec-Ops armour, so no they won't come in black as that would kinda defeat the purpose/distinction of the original Black Spec-Ops armour to some extent as well ;)

    Does anyone know if the badges are just for the forums, or do they show up on the scoreboard in-game also?

    100% sure you'll get an in-game badge to show off, but not sure if it will be the specific one from which you get from donating, I'd assume yes but may be wrong

    I have used the codes for steam but I cannot change to either the Assault or Elite Assault. Anyone else got this problem?

    Yes, your badge will show up in-game next to your name and on the scoreboard, like the PAX icon. (I believe they are going in sept 3rd)

    Hey Rammler,

    This is from the NS2 Twitter:
    All rewards will be phased in starting next week, badges probably on Sept 3, OST hopefully very soon afterwards!

    ( I believe OST is the soundtrack )

    And I read somewhere that Shadow Skulk would probably be phased in on the 5th

    Indeed OST stands for Original/Official Sound Track

    I wonder if it will display alongside the PAX icon? Basically I want to look like a Friday's server in terms of useless flair by the end of all this

    I would love to see a black assault armor for those of us who pre-purchased the deluxe NS2 and have stuck with it. But eather way I'm still looking forward to this new armor.

    cant wait for the new armor. :P . germany has a different time zone than san francisco. a difference of 9 hours. so san francisco runs 9 hours behind my time. when i have 12 am midnight germany in san francisco its 3 pm in the afternoon. so i have to wait 9 hours longer :(

    I just wish I could get the pieces I want independent of tiers. The few cosmetics items I'm interested are only in the tiers that cost way more than I can afford. I'm interested in supporting UWE additionally but there's no balance between the trinkets I'm interested in and the costs it takes to acquire it (at least not to me).

    When I bought the game the first time it came out of my grocery budget, the same is likely to be true of any extra's I buy so I need to pick wisely

    Yes, Special Edition is what i met. I got a copy for my friend in the recent digital deluxe sale on Steam.(through me off) But, speaking of which I do have my Special Edition armor from my pre-purchase oh so long ago but my armor is not black anymore. I do have the Spec Ops armor but I've had people telling me it green recently. Was my account messed up in the sale when i gifted the copy to my friend?

    If you have the "Natural Selection 2 - Black Armour" on your DLC tab for NS2 in Steam Library you should be fine... It should also show the "Natural Selection 2 - Deluxe DLC"

    Once you go black... I'll definitely wear the new marine models for the first few weeks but I'll probably end up going back 2 black once the flair wears off.

    by the way the black armor is much better than any armor that may come to the game. it shows that you bought the game years before it was released. no armor ever can demonstrate such a deep bond with the game.
