I’m pretty forgiving of BFV in general; the game has its fair share of bugs, but it’s still ultimately fun and worth playing (for me, at any rate). What’s getting harder to ignore are the frankly ridiculous cosmetics that don’t belong in ANY war game, let alone a WW2 game. I get that this isn’t a milsim or anything, but gaudy Halloween sets? Really? From the same company that shies away from doing anything that might remotely offend anyone? I thought the datamined outfits were bad, and then I saw the weapon skins: ![12VZUDB.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/64315bfd630c23986021bb1f2e81d648c000ca30.png) For real? A scythe attachment? This is almost worse than the mermaid… almost. The only halfway realistic item in the whole Halloween package is the Aussie slouch hat. However, you can’t use it with any other torsos, because the tacticool, completely unnecessary scarf it comes with clips horribly with other torsos: ![OrF7eRJ.jpg([https://i.imgur.com/OrF7eRJ.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/OrF7eRJ.jpg) ![](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/64315bfd630c23986021bb1f2e81d648c000ca30.png) ![6ppO3nU.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/64315bfd630c23986021bb1f2e81d648c000ca30.png) So many people have been begging for cosmetics that actually look like they belong in a WW2 game (especially for the Allies, where you can’t even equip a single set of Brit trousers and Sandman is the closest you can get to a Brit torso), and instead we get gun skins with scythe attachments and silly, glowing stuff like Burnt. I’m all for giving people choices. But could you please also give those of us who want realistic WW2 sets some choices as well? I’d really like for even ONE of my British soldiers to look like a British soldier. ---

If those scythes allow performing bayonet charge with Sten or Stg, it will be an immediate purchase. And I don’t really care how others feel about it. ---

A highway robber-outfit in a - supposedly - WWII game. So what’s next, a Santa costume for Xmas? ---

> [@Vespervin](#): > > (Quote) > You can see the neck clipping through. Sigh. What is with EA DICE and their obsession with masks and gas masks? It clipped through all the torsos I previewed. Clearly not made for mixing and matching. 😕 And yeah, I don’t get the obsession with masks. So many good head sets are ruined by tacticool masks in this game. ---

I think these look pretty cool, especially British outfit. German one is passable. As I said in previous posts, you people have to accept the fact that BF5 is in no way shape or form a WW2 authentic game. You have to because prepare to see Japanese and American soldiers running with those weapons skins in the Pacific lol. IMO skins look really nice, fair play to Dice art designers. ![image](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/7/0/7002de8c009de7862d4ff05f12d13f46535fb7d5.jpeg) ---

If you die while using these new cosmetics, can you respawn immediately and get back into the fight? Or do you have to retrieve your blood echoes first and go back to the Hunter’s Dream to talk to the doll? ---

But could you please also give those of us who want realistic WW2 sets some choices as well? I’d really like for even ONE of my British soldiers to look like a British soldier. Funny because we’ve known about the weapon skins for over a month and yet no one had a problem with them. Guess what? You have the total freedom to just not use those skin if you purchase the bundle; I only use the magazine and stock for the StG44 and Sten because of the wrapping and leather. We already have such skins in the game hell people proudly run around with gold plating so how is this any different? Not the mention iy’s a Halloween set. Go look at cod ww2 if you think this is bad; they got glowing candy corn Camo for example. There is also a Christmas set at least for the StG44 that we know about that have pine needles on the handguard and some detailed engraving on the metal. Lol how are blades such as this almost as worst as the mermaid especially considering we still haven’t seen those Mermaid skins since EA Play and they aren’t out of place? (Art Deco) Is this further evidence of picking and choosing? Cos I would’ve thought impractical blades juting out and making your weapon heavier would been worse then a figureheads you can only really see on one skin. No no no; the outfits are actually quite authentic you are just looking at them with a closed perspective. The slouch hat? 100% with even a common tilt to it being worn, it has a khaki puraggee and the rising sun badge. The torso features a p37 greatcoat, leather/sheepskin jerkin, trenchcape and martini Bandolier, the legs are Seamus’ rider pants with Germans Jackboots. The plating isn’t that out of place either because armour was used to varying degrees. The axis one features the German flammentrooper’s mask which is very nicely detailed, a zeltbahn with torn cloth strips in a ghille like manner with HBT trousers such as the paladin sets have. People have already come up with nice sniper combos including using the ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯ sniper viel from Stag’s Blood. Not to mention they are Halloween sets of which you don’t even need to use let alone use all of it. You can use it with any torso there isn’t actually any clipping; that clipping is only in the company tab on Assault, medic and Recon because of the solider poses; you throw it on support and it’s fine. Hell you go to the entire Company preview and it’s gone. And it’s not like the company is free of clipping with weapons held going through sets. Did dice say they were immediately dropping everything to give us more accurate sets? No. They did mention they were working on Chapter 5: the Pacific and not to expect anything till after we get that. So why would you suddenly expect a p37/p40 battledress when they never stated they were making such and already working on other things at this time? There’s rumour that the American cosmestics will be transfered to the US faction come the Pacific so maybe the British will start getting some gear such as the Dension Smock and Commando from the scrapped 5v5 mode (you can even see GI, Yankee and Wild Eagle sets in the little snippet of the trailer) You can make British soldiers especially commandos. Bare basics with a brodie, sandman/patriot torso and grifter legs or paratrooper with the paratrooper helmets, hazardous conditions/desert driver torso and legs. If you got cool hand Duke use that Torso with final countdown headgear for a special forces look. With wants on offer it is doable and I totally get wanting British gear I do too but complaining about Halloween skins we just got that are in the game regardless of complaints? ---

> [@llPhantom\_Limbll](#): > > If those scythes allow performing bayonet charge with Sten or Stg, it will be an immediate purchase. And I don’t really care how others feel about it. It would set a very bad precedent of putting clear-cut gameplay advantages behind a paywall, setting the tone for future not-so-cosmetic-after-all offerings as players start to expect new competitive edges from their purchases. Everyone knows that if pay-to-win elements were added to the game then some players would rush to buy them. That doesn’t make it remotely okay. Most players want a fair and level experience for the basic admission price, not a battle of wallets. And make no mistake, EA would not hesitate for one second to fill the game with PTW content if they thought players would just let it happen. I think you’re speaking casually, but it’s a serious issue and these forums are not the place to joke about it. Other companies like Bethesda are currently monetizing their games to death ostensibly at “player request,” and if that happens to Battlefield then I am out, and I think most players will be leaving with me. ---
