Resized infantry

Denmon · General **Joined**: 12 Jun 2004 **Location**: /S/weden

Personally, I hate resized infantry and I really don't think you should do it. I mean ztype realism! It's a game! NOT reality! I mean, they made infantry that size beacuse it was better looking than realisticly small dots. I mean who cares about realism in that manner anyway!? If your going to take the step and resize infantry anyway, then can you please release a pack of normal sized infantry too?

As long as infantry units are identifiable, I'm fine with it.

It's a really bad pic so I can't see if those are resized or not, but if they are, could you please release an addon pack with standard size infantry?

It ain't bad, those small infantry... But I do like the suggestion you make Denmon Wink

Yeah, I think I'll do that when it comes to Twisted Insurrections release. It'll make those happy who like their big-ass Infantry. #Tongue

Like me

. I never liked the idea of downsizing infantry and have them in a proper scale, since it means a great loss of detail.
However it's westwood's infantry, which barely have any detail, so I'm fine with them being smaller.

I like the way they look Aro.

I agree 100% with what said above.

Yes for the resized infantry.

I say yes to resized infantry,

It is a good point that people play games to escape reality, but i think

'Alien substance that mutates everything around it and covers most of the planet crashing into us from outer-space and GDI and Nod fighting over it with lasers and railguns and the scrin randomly popping in to say hi'

sort of counts as a situation that couldnt happen in the real world, and is therefore still fun with real sized infantry

Developers/modders have their own taste on what fits best to their eyes.
I for one, don't really care for the size and scale as it depends how the developer/modder wants it their way. Thats what game genres are for....

RA2 was more like a combination of Comedy/RTS bringing humorus joy along with tatical gameplay. #Tongue
