... looking at this now, it reminds me a bit of HALO ODST, BUT mind you, I did this at least a good three or four years before that game came out!
... again, my thinking with the Metropolis P.D. is that they have money to spare, so their equipment is the latest and greatest, and possibly even done by S.T.A.R labs or someone like that... I wanted the 'gas mask' to have a big visor for maximum visibility, BUT also to contrast Gotham's equipment.
nah, that's one of my friends who was working with me on the game at the time, so when I was thinking of a name to put on the characters back I used the first name that popped in my head... a bit of a 'nod' to friends as well.
heheh, good ol' computer assistance with that... makes it easier and faster! ...I stopped doing it though, sometimes it works, and sometimes it backfires REALLY uuugleeee!!!
this is badass and definitely spartan-esque! i love the visor! reminds me of security helmet actually. i'd love to see your updated\revised concept of this same piece.
