    Classified Gear sets look horrible/funky

    Who ever designed these should quit his job. They look terrible, horrible. I sure as hell will never use a gear set item ever again.

    For example why the hell does every Classified item look like brown cardboard box?

    Please start buffing the high end/exotic gear. That's where I'll stay.

    Yeah, whoever is doing the small model design is just bad. The vanity items look like the same high school or intern designer worked on most of it. Despite the level of detail, most of it is just clunky, repetitive (PomPom Beanie anyone?), and ugly/boring.

    I think most of the design work goes into the world modeling. It's just friggin amazing.

    It really is a shame that the "easy" design work falls so short of what goes into the rest of the game.

    Yeah, someone in-game suggested the same thing. Just give us skins so we can choose how our gear looks.

    Way too much effort is being put into the design of set crap that nobody really pays attention to anyway. Most of it is indistinguishable from the next piece of gear unless you're sitting around the Terminal barbie-dolling.

    They won't do the gear because we have no way to ID the gear others are wearing.

    That's easy to fix with an set icon on players name like MarcoStyles once demonstrated in one of his videos.

    We can't easily ID sets at the moment either due to Ninjas and mixes with classifieds and regular sets.

    Photoshop and programming that are two different things. They can't even do load outs right.

    i think an icon would be a good idea. especially for those running a 6pc classified.
    or a title underneath your name that says Striker, Nomad, Banshee, etc... so that you know what type of player you're up against

    Yeah, im not sure brown was the best choice for the new sets. I mean brown is fine for reclaimer, its always been instantly recognisable and matches the reclaimer clothing.

    Brown striker though? Really? Its always been the best looking gearset but now?

    Brown and black should never be worn together.... its a combo I'd expect to see my 65 year old dad sporting and thats no good thing.

    Poor effort.

    Classified Reclaimer is white and blue, which actually looks pretty cool. Makes you look like a medic(which I love, almost 30K a second heal with an almost 14m range, I'm like a damn Legendary Elite LMB Medic wearing this set), Striker and Sentry well I don't really have an opinion on those, always thought Sentry looked kind of meh so the change to the classified doesn't really bother me. Striker on the other hand I would of preferred to be white mainly so it matches the Striker outfit set, but that's just me.
