Okay, so heres thing thing. . . .

I understand that for characters like Havoc, having other costumes are an advantage because, with his wide variety of suits, he has a basic camoflage. HOWEVER! That being said, I do not understand stuff like Mobius's metal costume, or the second raveshaw. It makes no sense to me. Not only are they both taller and more bulky, but it makes them way easier to see and hit because of it.

My question is, is there any advantage to the other costumes? For example, for mobius, would the metal costume perhaps, take less damage from fire? or tiberium? maybe less damage from mines? Does it offer ANY advantage whatsoever?

I'm talking about physical ADVANTAGES, not two gay guys discussing ''which mobius do you think goes better with my APC?''.

There's nothing gay about that...

However, playing with the shirtless, sweaty, Raveshaw... well, that might be kinda gay.

Most of the different costumes are in the campaign(That people don't play and really should so they don't ask dumb questions I'm not saying this is one of them though) and I guess WestWood thought that some people might want to play as them.

Edit: Answering the question: No there is no big advantages.

No HUGE advantages, although normal Raveshaw DOES seem a bit shorter than the mutated version, so it'd be a tad harder to get a headshot, I guess.

And the powersuit versions of both the PIC Sydney and Mobius are a tad bit bigger and stick out like a sore thumb.

Seeing as how everyone seems to have skins these days, the rest of the alternate skins don't really matter, I'd say. Without them though, I suppose yeah, it COULD prove somewhat advantagous, I guess.

On snowy maps it can be good to take the some white camouflage havoc, for exemple. It could help you a bit, unless ofcourse you got Scrin in the enemy team. His bright yellow advantage skins will own your camouflage.

I doubt such a thing has or will EVER determine the outcome of a cw.

In a public server, using the appropiate camo can be an advantage, you're right, however, I doubt clanwars will see a difference for using it.

Also agreed, not the outcome, but perhaps the outcome of any one moment (sniping from distance, perhaps)

Yep...as I said on the other thread, Renegade's reticle targeting system renders all skins useless.

TS question wasn't about "does it determine the outcome" it was about "can it be an advantage in any way".

Advantages are things that determine the outcome in a positive way for yourself, disadvantages being the opposite. If it doesnt, it isnt an advantage?

Like I said, the outcome of any one fight, or any one sniper shot (If I see the sniper, I'm more likely to dance around, making it harder for them to hit me)

PIC Sydney's alt skin makes her a smaller target. That's about as far as any advantages go.

It does provide some camo to use other skins, for instance, snow Havoc will blend in mesa better then Nightop havoc unless of course you have created your own skins. Big Grin

When i was newer i use to mistake the alternative pic suit for a tiberium sydney therefore ignored more...

there isn't any advantage to be gained from different atires against half decent players though.

The secondary Sydney skin shows off cleavage, which is well worth the extra click.
