Man, THOSE were the days,
Microprose, Strategic Simulations, Westwood Studios, Dynamix, Sierra...

Given your post in this thread and the big wave thread I guess you'd prefer it if everybody just shut up and didn't discuss or speculate about anything.

Kind of defeats the purpose of a discussion forum, doesn't it?

if you want to think that

I think the view of the uniform changing as medals or promotions are awraded is an excellent idea. Way better than just the box used in SH3. Perhaps the view of the uniform could wither be as some just posted, or a variety of a number of heads to create an avatar. Even possibly something to selctd a facial type, hair color, mustache, beard, etc.. THe First person shooters easily do this all the time these days. Some clever modder might even be able to allow you to take a snapsot of your own head, face and sort of photshop it onto your avatar.

Of course this could be combined with some film or generated clip of your avatar being awarded something or other, with appropriate martial music.

Something like this perhaps?

I didn't know Topp wore glasses..


Was he somehow distantly related to Buddy Holly?

Seriously, I just read an article and saw a vew screenshot where the upcoming "Storm of War" combat flight sim is including all 3D animated pilots and crew. The early pictures look outstanding.

In addition Oleg Maddox ws quoted as saying it will include the ability to modify the uniform, modify the facial features to whatever you desire or use a feature which will map your photo onto the player facial image area.
