No, no it does not. If everything was painted solid gray, you should still be able to tell what faction a unit is on.
they need to revert all changes and REMOVE empire colors from all vehicles! no red on prowlers, no purple on magriders, no blue on vanguards. and no secondary colors either! currently the vehicles look like freakin toys! GIVE THEM THEIR DIGNITY BACK! DONT WAIT, DO IT RIGHT NOW!
I'm totally okay with how the prowler is now (since the valkyrie update), remodel would be nice, but still a step in the right direction imo, rather than pasting faction colors everywhere.
You mean this one? Shaql put in his unofficial patch notes via twitter that some parts of the prowler were visually updated. If i'm not mistaken, this is the new look. Sorry the images aren't huge, but photobucket is lame like that.
ah, well i haven't actually been on live in a while, just waiting for the striker revamp and vehicle secondary changes, so i may have missed what they put in. My bad.
Probably something to do with it being alpha. Since in the first planetside you could loot all the weapons and ammo from enemy corpse. In alpha it makes sense that they ran with a similar concept at first.
