Because pointing out an obvious difference is somehow picking a side?

If you cannot see a meaningful change when it's plainly pointed at you, well... Gl with making your own mod then.

The laser being on a shoulder ISN'T a meaningful change and there is almost NO difference. You could even make the weapon aim from a different point on the model IF by some chance the laser being on the commanders should changes anything meaningful in game play, which it wouldn't.

And if you want scouts to be able to hide behind mexes you can design the game so that they can, make scout have smaller hitspheres make mexes have bigger hitspheres don't blockade good/interesting changes because of something so incredibly insignificant.

Or I could just make it hull mounted...

Hold your ponies. I'll mess around with some stuff.

Don't get me wrong, It's fine as it is now.

Just move on.

I was asking myself if BA has a dedicated website, and if it would be interesting to have one.

i have tryed your new models just 5 minutes ago..
they're fantastic!!!

great great job!

look how you cant easy distinguish the ak's and the rocko's

but props to the beautifull candies!
Would like to see the llt head a bit longer backward and forward.

I could diff them easily. Aks have heads. Rockos have visors.

Also: lossy jpeg is lossy. Turn on AA too.

hmm... looks nice, especially with the teamplatters...

But yea, a little difficult to distinguish, Imo rockos have too much teamcolor from upview.

I agree.

I think using a balanced mix of team color and material color helps to distinguish units.

look at that badly photoshoped sample in the yellow aera to see the distinguishing effect :



Rockos missile battery top got painted black :)

Some screenshots (max detail 1680x1050 reduced to 1280x800)

more screenshots







..for me it's beautiful

Stunning shots, thanks!

Now this looks like something that could be released in 2012.

astonishing screens..

Feels like getting stomped by giants with every screen.

I spotted the big black heads right away.

I am loving these shots!

I vote for GIgamez making the new BAR starting screens ^^

Is there a dedicated website for BAR?

No, there is only a repository:

If anyone has the skills and desire to make a website, I can host it and I would be thankful for it!
