    Something I thought would be cool is if you complete a campaign mission and are then able to use that characters colours in mutiplayer with something to identify them as such.

    I really am clueless as to why they did this, but it doesn't bother me too much.

    Anyone else find it kinda stupid you can make Swindle with the Autobot colors but not the Decepticon's?

    I don't know firsthand yet, but if the colors are the big sticking point, then we're doing okay.

    :lol 

    It isn't all that hard to top what WFC did, so yeah.

    I'm pretty sure one of our complaints from back then were limited colors, as well as the inability to make our own Transformer, which is what we are getting now, but why is it so hard to give us free use of the colors? Screw team colors! There a lot of multiplayer games out there that don't rely on team colors.

    Well, would you prefer to design your own transformer from scratch, using design tools? Or have a scanner which you put fanart in and MP characters come out? It just irritates me that after HMS puts in the time to make a customization mode and then people just make campaign characters. It's a waste. >_>

    this is the decepticon palette we have seen before the demo

    [​IMG]

    This is the palette that is in the demo.

    I wonder if they changed it because people couldn't tell who was in whose team.

    Also I notice Barricade is no longer in the game or the demo at least.

    I think i like the more solid colors schemes instead of those high contrast G2 schemes.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen barricade parts in some video but I could be mistaken :dunce :

    It also looks like the slider bar on the right is longer in the demo which means that there are more colours in the full game

    BTW are the box with 2 colours that u choose like a pearlecent mix or are they two seperate colours on the robot ?

    i keep seeing everyone mention that, "it's probably just like this for the demo" but i think this is exactly what we're all getting... there may be a minor detail or two changed but nothing major (not complaining!). so i think this is all the parts and colors we're getting until dlc happens.

    also i still don't understand why all colors aren't options for all characters, the red or purple colored name tag on the top should be more than enough to identify what team a player is on.

    I know, right?

    Why does HMS act like it's soooooooooooo hard to tell a person's teammates apart from the enemy?

    Exactly.
    Especially when you can't damage your teammates anyway. Shoot first identify later...:tongue:

    You sure about that?

    I thought grenades, perks and the like damaged all in within range of those respective hit boxes. However, if you really can't damage your teammates it really is stupid to have team colors:(

    NO. i'm not sure. Someone needs to confirm & make a list.
    I don't recall in-team damage in WFC. But if that's changed in FOC then it is indeed a whole new ball game. :eek:

    Yes the coloured names are a good identifier of teams but it may not be the best. I agree with the majority that the colour option isn't the greatest and if we had this and the ability to select colours in a manner like WfC then it would be better.

    But I think people are forgetting that we can make our own Transformer. C'mon! That itself is just the coolest thing ever. Can't we just be grateful for that rather than demanding more? And still, you can make campaign characters. We don't even know first hand how limited the colours are and the demo isn't the means to find out since that itself is limited.

    The main reason we are complaining about colors is because they were actually better in wfc. So far, it seems as though everyone likes all other aspects of the customization which means they did that right.

    I just feels messed up that the colors are worse than wfc's colors, which were already on the worse side of "meh".

    Anyone sent them a tweet about it yet? High Moon seems to like to answer "yes or no" questions. ;)
