Tactical Suit: Hard to tell GR from BL
in Suggestions
I suggest that the colours of the Tactical Suit Character model be altered to make them easier to differentiate GR from BL. Like they did with the SPOP recently.
I find myself second guessing whether players using the Tactical Suit are friend or foe. There's very little difference between them.
Before you all flame and say: "But you can see that they're enemies because their name is red!" I'm talking about those split second decisions you have to decide who to shoot and end up shooting at your teammate instead of the actual enemy. It happens too fast to register the IGN floating above their head.
Am I the only one this happens too?

So you don't find when you're playing as GR and a BL player in a tactical suit pops out in front of you suddenly, you don't for a second think he's maybe on your team. Just long enough to make you hesitate and possibly get shot?I clearly see the difference.
I mean they changed the SPOP for this reason. I never found it even remotely difficult to tell the difference between SPOP's, yet they changed her appearance. Why not the TS model? You have to admit, the BL TS model is way darker coloured then the BL version of any other character.
Thank you! I'm not the only one. The slight blue tinge of the GR isn't different enough when it's a split second decision to shoot or not shoot. Especially at long range.ChaosPedooo wrote: »Yeah Bl looks nearly like Gr just the super soft blue skin is the difference .. Its hard to see the difference from a far distance
*edit: I had a tactical suit for 30 days once and I noticed my own teammates often mistakenly shooting at me. -

I had the Tac Suit for 30 days as well, but didn't notice a thing. Maybe we had differnet versions of the Tac Suit?' wrote:dvda[;3091028']Thank you! I'm not the only one.

Perhaps because the TS is less common? Seriously, look at them if you get a chance.Nope. Never had the problem.
Really? The GR SPOP was dark, dark blue and wore pants. The BL SPOP Was light brown with short-shorts. I find it hard to believe you found it hard to tell SPOP's apart but not TS's. I didn't even notice the difference when they changed the SPOP. I only knew because of the patch notes.That I agree with. The BL SPOP looked way too much like a GR.
Maybe, there's only the male and female one and I find them equally difficult to tell apart.I had the Tac Suit for 30 days as well, but didn't notice a thing. Maybe we had differnet versions of the Tac Suit?
Maybe I just happen to be colour blind to the specific colour of the TS model. lol
Anyway, would you have anything against the devs altering the colour, regardless of your magical ability to easily tell them apart? lol
C'mooooon. Gimme a +1

This is only when I look at BL SPOP. The GR SPOP is easy to tell. I tell them apart instantly by color, not whether they wear pants or not. Also the old BL SPOP model had a lot of blue on it.' wrote:dvda[;3091162']Really? The GR SPOP was dark, dark blue and wore pants. The BL SPOP Was light brown with short-shorts.

In all seriousness I do not see where you care coming from. I see no need to alter the color, and if the color is altered, it may look weird.' wrote:dvda[;3091162']Maybe, there's only the male and female one and I find them equally difficult to tell apart.

The TS is the only one I've ever had a problem telling apart. I could care less about how their faces look though. STAR's are two drastically different colours. Easy. BL TS is WAY darker then other BL models.I agree. It happens sometimes.
Anyway i dont have a problem with the stars tho. Except that they look like ugly ass malaysian **********s. I mean srsly wtf is up with their facial structure?
Fine. No +1. :PI stand my ground.
I'm gonna find some TS's in game and take screenies. I think the main problem isn't the colour, but the darkness of the BL. Anyway, I still stand by my opinion that they're hard to quickly tell apart. -

Agreed.
Also agree that its because of the split second - you shoot at the wrong target out of two and you die.
I adjusted to STAR, but initially had the same issue because of the leg colour, sometimes they're all you can see
.. with the Tactical suit I'm never 100% sure in the split second
I reckon if CF had team kills, that'd be the first kit people stopped wearing. -

Yes please, I can't see the difference between the GR and BL too.
Thank you! FFS! It's not that I can't tell them apart but when it's a split second instance, it's easy to shoot at the wrong person, even 1 or 2 shots. In a fast-paced FPS that 1/4 second can mean everything. You burst at your teammate because he runs through a door/around a corner, etc, looking like an enemy, while an actual opponent somewhere beyond him takes you both out.+1

Maybe you don't even fire the shot but that extra moment it takes to process whether they're a teammate or not can get you killed. You start dragging your mouse over to him for a fraction of a second and BAM! you're dead. Thanks teammate for sabotaging the game. Damn GR lookin'ass BL. Use your SAS char. or something.
haha. Fudgin right it would. If they implemented friendly fire this thread would be getting a jillion +1's

I've both used a Tactical Suit (F) and played a lot with people that had it (both M and F). I must say that I never had problems differentiating them. That, however, yould just be me as I tend to shoot whatever moves in TDs (I'm just happy there is no friendly fire in CF, or, like in Tactical Ops, a sudden death whenever you kill someone from your side). Of course, if there are several targets you might choose the wrong one and die, but hey, this game is also about dying. And as long as I can keep a good kdr, I'm fine with getting killed sometimes...
Also, the changes about the SPOP to me only affect the butt (that was were i clearly saw a difference). Still, I never found it hard to tell those two apart before...

So I am a moron for knowing which of them is BL and GR? Well I don't think so.
here are some pictures
How can't you tell the which of them is BL and which GR? One is clearly orange and the other is blue.
here are the male characters
one is blue the other is orange, I can perfectly tell which one of them is BL and which one is GR.
and here are the star charcters

Thats why i never use star. The face is effing ugly!!!!
And those feet of hers are just too small -
um... who cares?Thats why i never use star. The face is effing ugly!!!!
And those feet of hers are just too small
This thread's about the Tactical Suit. Not how ugly the STAR is. Got any thoughts on the Tac Suit?
ps: You like the big feeted women eh? Down the street from where I used to live had lots of big feeted "women". Just walking up and down the street all day. Maybe you should check it out. -

Northern Europeans sure have weird taste... Maybe even I won't be classified as "having facial features that conjure negative feeling to the highest degree" there.
I think BadMonkey's pictures show how different they are. -

Sure. When they're still shots of them. But look how dark the BL one is. When they pop out in front of you it's easy to think they're GR for A SPLIT SECOND. We're talking split seconds here. Not whether or not they're easy to identify in a picture.
Badmonkey is still a moron. I'm not disrespecting you bullish. It's cool if you disagree with me. I just don't like badmonkey's tone. And I'm not just referring to this thread.
