The soldier sprite is rather... mediocre (<.<) But the coding so far looks sexah. More please :D

I like the sprites. They don't look CC-ey, but they're still cool.

offer a whole lot in return... I could help with some coding, if you need it :P

After reading that I thought I'd feel bad if I didn't show SOMETHING. XD

this was rushed. There are a number of things I don't like (need to tweak his leg/arm pads so they don't blend together so easily with the green...), and all I did was re-shade the sprites you had with the same colors. I tried tweaking some things to look a little better, but it'd help if I knew where I was going with it. Need to, like, latch onto you in a metroid like fashion, and try to suck your thoughts out. SLRRRRRP.

EDIT: HAH! Tweaked! though this uses different colors for the Grey. slapped it next to the pre-tweaked one.

Looks better with the added contrast and other detail. Good work!

Wow, nice! But to be honest, the head looks a bit... Goofy? Still much
better looking than mine though :P
Great job, and thanks for doing this ^_^

Bahaha. The head is rather goofy looking. I think it's the helmet - played with it's shape some. Hmm.. Aw well. Your welcome :D I should see what I can do for the guns and stuff.

EDIT: Fixed his helmet back to the way it was, and re-shaded the weapons. Gonna send Shook the touched-up version and he can go ahead and do what he wants with it.

Those beta sprites look sexy
my suggestion to de-goofy the head is move it forward a bit, and make it shorter (ie, same width, but not as tall) and move the mouth-piece forward maybe?

But brilliant shading, you do that on Paint or Photoshop?
I'm intrigued.

Humm, updated with the sexified sprites by Anthony :D
Next weapon would probably be an SMG or rifle or...

I might be able to help sprite. This looks promising.
I also modified weapon sprites.

Preview of New Rocket launcher here.

I'll also PM the new sprites when asked by PM.

Well, if you're actually going to try to make this a balanced fun mod, I have a few weapon suggestions (the rifle and SMG are a good start)

1: Heavy Machine Gun: 50 rounds and a slightly slower firing rate then the assault rifle, but more powerful.

2: Grenade A: Fragmentation. Just make some pretty glows and explosion sounds and you'll be good to go with it :3

3: Grenade B: Penetration. Smaller explosion radius, but penetrates through close to anything (excluding reflective armor, so good to use one and then equip that shield if it's at close range)

4: Grenade C: Napalm. The explosion itself deals little damage, but it sprays fire particles with a long lifetime (like the Darklone flamethrower) that are pretty lethal with brute force alone (should be enough to disarm a dummy/coalition soldier)

5: AA Cannon: A single shot anti-aircraft gun that fires out a high-mass round and is great for those pesky dropships. It isn't intended to be used against infantry because it has a very low magazine and high reload time.


Some of them might seem overpowered, but there's probably a way to tone down the brutal genocide factor >_>

I know what you mean.
Also, I didn't edit the shield sprites.
Pack is fun.

I like the sprites and the powerful weapons.
And they're not too powerful.
I think a small tank like thing would go well with these.

@Roy-G-Biv: While i appreciate your offer, you didn't do anything else
than adding a dark outline :/

So yeah, it's pretty amazing what a graphic overhaul from a skilled artist can
do to peoples opinions :P

But regarding the SMG, i'd like your opinion on whether i should make it as
powerful as the Pelter, but with lower clip size, or weaker, but same/higher
clip size... It is going to be more inaccurate though, but it can be wielded
with one hand.
