Before and After: Old and new skins of TFC

Agent_W · 03-22-2008, 06:48 AM

Just thought I'd share my opinions and see where it goes from here.

The Scout:

Old: BAD. What the hell? He looks like a skinny railroad worker. He also strikes a resemblance to that Ernest guy. Eww.
New: GOOD. He has the better appearance of a professional scout.

The Sniper:

Old: Undecided. Kinda plain but I liked his hat style and shadow face.
New: GOOD. He has the camo-like cloak that many military snipers use for hiding in terrain.

The Soldier:

Old: GOOD. He just has that commando look that kinda kicks ass.
New: GOOD. The helmet is a big plus, along with the camo facepaint as well, and his camo has that tiger stripe pattern.

The Spy:

Old: BAD. I thought it was just too plain looking, but I give it props for the ninja look to it.
New: GOOD. Definitely what you would expect a spy to look like.

The Pyro:

Old: Undecided. The uniform pattern looks sorta odd, but he does have that "psycho" mouth.
New: GOOD. The face shield and gas mask apparatus is a NICE fix.

The Medic:

Old: Undecided. The uniform is classic-looking to the class but still looks pretty damn plain.
New: GOOD. It actually makes him look more like the combat medic he IS, plus, his camo is white/black.

The Demoman:

Old: GOOD. I liked the classic look of the demoman, and he gets to have a nice cigarette!
New: GOOD. Albeit a more contemporary look, he has that cool SWAT bomb squad guy look to him.

The Engineer:

Old: GOOD. Even though his uniform looks a little "rugged", he has that bad ass look.
New: GOOD. Not much change to the new versus the old, except that it looks a lot more refined.

The HW Guy:

Old: BAD. The helmet really looks goofy, and his wrinkled face shows him to be an old fart.
New: GOOD. BAD ASS. He's a lot more muscular and has a better build to handle that AC.

Real men use old models.

Handym · 03-22-2008, 05:52 PM

Real men must really suck then. New models ftw

TheWetMule · 03-22-2008, 06:09 PM

What are these models we speak of? I get people to move real time, whilst I watch on a monitor from the face camera of some poor guy.

**mervaka** · 03-22-2008, 07:04 PM

old models ftw. new models are "refresher" content in a bid to update the game while keeping the game fresh. in hindsight, old models are far better.

Paft · 03-22-2008, 07:20 PM

We gone back in time to 2000? (or whenever the newer models were introduced). Bit of an old debate.

Old models. But I don't mind either. Both sets are equally pleasing and displeasing at the same time. I sometimes switch between the two from time to time when I get bored.

Ps they're models not "skins"..self explanatory shit.

No, but seriously, real men DO use old models.

uBeR · 03-22-2008, 08:39 PM

Lol I think this thread is like 6 years too late.

Old models are pretty cool, but I've stuck with the new ones since they came out.

Player · 03-22-2008, 08:58 PM

Old models, clearly

Etzell · 03-22-2008, 09:54 PM

Old models, the new ones look like gorillas when they move. I prefer the robotic look.

Agent_W · 03-22-2008, 10:32 PM

It's really not a late topic to discuss, but many of us has played TFC and I thought I'd just "shoot the shit" about it.

Well, I know some of you call them "models" and others call them "skins" but really, both of them are synonymical.

Well, overall, I always thought that the old skins were a little oldy and rigid. The new skins look a lot better overall.

FrenchToast · 03-22-2008, 10:38 PM

Old ones, entirely for the sniper.

Paft · 03-22-2008, 10:47 PM

And those that say skins are incorrect depending on what it is. Eg how you referred to models.

The skin or the the term I prefer texture is the detail wrapped onto the model.

I'm not being a moron but I feel must to correct you. It irritates me tbh.

Etzell · 03-23-2008, 12:49 AM

Yeah, the difference between old and new is an entirely new model. Different skeletons, different anims.

Bubbles · 03-23-2008, 02:20 AM

People that use new models are, so to say, newfags.

SmellyCat · 03-23-2008, 03:07 AM

Oh they're not that bad guys. ^^ They're just not quite as cool/quirky.

What's that supposed to mean? Explain

It means that you are a girl! LOL

Paft · 03-23-2008, 04:36 PM

The actual word in mind is newb.

MightyLotu · 03-23-2008, 06:59 PM
