Minor UPP Commando Helm Sprite Alteration

Post by Steelpoint » 07 Jul 2017, 13:21

Summary: Change the sprite of the UPP Commando helmet to remove a certain sprite.

Benefits: The current head sprite for the UPP Commando looks like they all have their noses sticking out of their tactical full cover helmets as you can see below.

I would suggest slightly altering it to remove the pixel so it looks like this.

Very minor issue but it bugs me whenever I see them.

I intended this. Felt the straight up full mask was too boring. I wanted to go for something slightly humanizing but still menacing.

A lot of balaclavas have open mouth and open nose for breathing purposes. If you've ever worn a full mask, you know how uncomfortable it feels.

I have to wear a full one when I rob banks for gas money and it suuuuucks.

The UPP struck me as the more dehumanising faction, considering their Specialists have full body coverings and most of their armour hides the body whereas the USMC have no armour or uniform that completly covers the body.

Its more a personal aesthetic annoyance than anything serious

upp heavy armor helmets should be like those russian swat/military heavy helmets that flip down like welding masks
