Munitions... Arm Band or Head Band?

    I love the idea of a commando with Guns Guns and more Guns but the head band doesn't say commando to me.

    It reminds me of Raphael TMNT or Karate Kid more.

    I'm curious if others would prefer a arm band or the head band.

    If you say neither one please give your alternative idea.

    Neither.

    A disappearing reappearing head/arm band is a dumb visual effect regardless.

    I'll prefer they get rid of the Head band and give the character the Bullet Belts that they use in Reload. I would much rather see that on my character and have it pulse then for a head band.

    Arm bands are cool, but I don't think they have the same visual cue the devs are trying to display. They can be hidden by chest, shoulder or back pieces. When a power is used, it's usually an effect to the head, hands or some kind of aura.

    If you don't like the design, use wm or don't use munitions at all.

    This powerset pays homage to all the movies I grew up with so I get the references and love the concept.

    They could easily give you a headband as a piece of head gear if you want to pay homage. Why does someone have to have a less effective character all because they don't think a head band fits their character. It looks more like a joke than someone character being hardcore. When you look at it, you have to laugh.

    I think this concept is the same reason they changed Gadgets concept. It started off having Big Bulky Bombs and Clown Boxes, catering too much to a character that want to make a Joker Themed character. Now it's more generic and less cartoonish. I feel that they can easily get rid of the head band, use the bullet belt around your character chest and have it pulse like the headband does which would make it more appealing to most player. Some people want to play Rambo, other people want to make their own hero or villain that can blow ish up!

    I get it. I love 80s action hero movies as well.
    They tied bands around their biceps in those movies as well.
    So it's still pays homage.

    Speaking of gadgets, I don't like the animation of battle display or the sound it makes. Does not fit every style change I make on my main.

    But I still use it.

    DELETE THE HEADBAND!

    I don't throw the word 'hate' around freely unless I genuinely hate something.

    I HATE THE HEADBAND!!!

    Well, the band is tintable now at least.

    Per Spytle's Twitter. Wish he'd just post here instead.
    I'm not a fan of the headband or the power set as a whole but I suppose some people will enjoy this change.

    I wish the Battle Display came up from the Arm instead of from the Helmet. It still looks better than the Headband! lol
  15. CypherXone Committed Player

    I actually like the sound it makes and the voice! It fits my character nicely!

    They should just scrap the whole head band thing. They should have it
    Eye of the Tiger- Bullet Belt goes around character and pulses, then fades when over.
    Reload- Bullet Belts goes around allies while character replaces clip.

    It's easy enough to replace this animation and no one will complain to have a Bullet Belt despite what costume they have on!

    Definitely an improvement. Thank you for posting the link.

    Don't see why a lot of people are making a big deal out of the headband. If I hadn't seen the livestream I would've thought it was all about a red headband and not munitions.lol

    I've never seen such whining and ******** on the forums in a long time over the most smallest thing.
