Topic: Player model on selection screen

I am one of those peoples who chooses their class based on the looks of their model, then the looks on the weapon, then adapts to the playstyle. With 2142 It was the EU Recon class, without armour. 1st because of the helmet. That was one of the bigger reasons then the reason for the lack of armour was because it made me more unique and looked better with less orange. I was never a great sniper, I adapted my play and served more as a scout, relaying back enemy movements and taking out the occasional enemy.

I would really like to see what I look like in FS, if its the black Imperial Medic, scout trooper, storm trooper, etc.

Have you considered adding this or are you leaving it blank?

Devs - for this , we need to have the best kits connected to models that resemble ballet dancers or circus clowns ...    Then people will learn not to choose kits by model appearances onle , lol.

Now now the EU recon, light armour is far superior in looks to all the other models in bf2142, By choosing the model on the looks helps me get a feel for the class and helps with immersion. Whats the point in playing if you don't feel immersed in the gameplay. Why don't we just go for boxes with 2 different colours if looks mean nothing?
