[QUOTE=Fort83;21504611]The shoulders were orange, the pants yellow. You didn't color them the same.[/QUOTE]
The shoulders were originally blue.
The pants were originally white.
Coloring them via the way i did yields different results.
Blood indeed is pretty bad, not because it's badly textured, but because all of your "Victor 9" guys have the same splat on their forehead, i'd laugh instead of run. Fearsome helmet designer you got there.

Yep. There was a deal. Buy 20 splattered helmets for only £20. They had a coupon for it,
And that, is the reason you should remove it, having two of these characters on a screenshot would make it a bad screenshot.
But yeah the new version(Which i'll get a pic of in a sec when Steam wants to fucking load.) Has no splatter, No grime(Source's compression system makes it look [I]SHIT[/I]) And brand shiny new shoulders.

Broke mah awtomerge!

I'd like to note though the new version will only be released:
Situation one: In the Ultimate Metrocop pack/release/whatever.
Situation two: People bug me too much for it and i go ahead and release it.
Situation three: If i abandon the Ultimate Metrocop pack/release/whatever

Now with High-Vis shoulders.
I like it, haven't seen skins with such colors before.
OH wow i just noticed the(Unintentional) Red ring around the bottom of the coat. That's really good looking for an accident like this.
better now release.
That looks quite cool, actually. I like the idea behind it. People don't tend to do much with bright colors and Combine characters, and it's always nice to see someone doing something completely different like that. It looks much better without that splatter, though it didn't look too bad with it either. If you know how to hex, which I assume you do, you could include a version with and one without.
My only complaint is the mask texture is straight off one of the C08 Metro's. The black design thing on it.

No it isn't. It's my own detailing of the numbers "#452"

OP is deathbucket?
[QUOTE=Comrade General;21504169]No.
For 2 reasons:
1. It'd take [I]a lot[/I] of work to re-make the mask texture(At this point i wouldn't be able to "Just remove it" It's much more complex than that.
2. I know you(Hello Roleplay WORLD. you were perma'd for a reason) And i'm not editing something so you can bastardize it and use it on your own server. I made this for my own RP server coming up and decided to share.[/QUOTE]
[i]Why are you such an ass.[/i]
not really sure about the colors, i mean an orange metrocop isnt that intimidating
[QUOTE=Comrade General;21502530]They're an elite form of the Meropolice, Essentially the sum of all fears. when code VICTOR-9 Is declared you [I]fucking run.[/I] You think that elite police units would clean something off their mask when they're [I]designed[/I] to be the sum of all fears?[/QUOTE]
What is your obsession with that phrase? It doesn't even make sense in context. "They are everything that can possibly scare you." No, they aren't. They look marginally scarier than normal Me[b]t[/b]ropolice, yes, but not [i]that[/i] much more. The blood splatter (besides being in a nigh-impossible position) makes them look "battle-hardened", not "everything that is evil".
You want "ultimate fear"? Add skulls. Add glowing red eyes. Add a cape or trenchcoat. A spider motif. Make them turn invisible. Pitch black armor. Huge shoulder pads.

There, that should keep him gone for a couple weeks.
I don't really find it evil, bright colors don't really make me think evil or bad ass. When I think of feared elite squad I think of faded dark colors to give them a darker more sinister look rather than bright orange which in my opinion makes the skin scream "LOL, I'm here!"
Then again, I guess everyone has their own view.
I like the new skin, it has a different motif than most combine skins and looks much better than the first.
The bright colors make me want to give him a hug rather then run from him
The red splatter does seem a little weird, just in that it's only in one spot, looking like red water dripped on the mask.
But I see what you were trying to do, make the unit look demoralizing by having the blood of their victims stained on them. Kind of like this character: [img]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n55/Darth_Maul_Clone/Sev.jpg?t=1272180600[/img]
Now, a smeared blood effect or maybe just a large splatter around the mask would pull this off nicely. Good model, though.
Work on the metrocop set is going slow due to lack of interest. but it should pick up soon

A version with the splat(a better one) and one without it.
The reskin is pretty cool, I'm anxious to see the new version :D
Yeah it's a good skin, i don't really know why some dudes are being such asshats with this guy's hard work.
I'm gonna download these for my collection btw.

Thanks. Don't put it in a pack without my permission though.

Yep. The whole Ultimate Metrocop project is still churning. albeit slowly.

Why did you bump this? It was 4 weeks old, you should have looked at the post dates and left it to die.
This skin sucked balls and is not where i'm going anymore. Leave it to it's shite-stained grave of hell.
