I don't feel that at all. But it's maybe because NC is just faction for me with it's looks, music and guns just right to enjoy the game too much. TR LA seems to be easier colored than NC one. I do love my NC LA much much much. Ergo, NC hands down.
I also vote that the TR looks best. Obviously the VS is best for night ops, however. NC LA, just like all their others (sin Infi) is just too damn blue.
I like the NC jetpack better than the TR jetpack. The TR jetpack looks odd to me. The uniforms, otherwise, I think the TR gets it right.
My biggest issue with the design palette of the terrans are the goofy goggles they are wearing, otherwise it's pretty solid. And hey you can always buy some hats helmets from valve soe. NC has better headgear, but armor plates from the junkyard. Vanu has spandex.
Personally, I have to go with the NC on this one, even if I am primarily a TR player. I don't have much of an opinion on the gear/armor/uniforms of each faction, so this all comes down to the jetpack itself. The TR jetpack is pretty ugly, but I like the NC jetpack.
So, basically, what we want is: A TR LA wearing a VS helmet with an NC jetpack. Probably in Giraffe Camo. With no red. Makes sense.
I'm surprised people like the NC jetpack the most. To me it looks like someone glued some fins to an OG Xbox and painted it blue.
