Before my aestethics considerations, I think one thing has yet to be totally explained:
What is this new Warzone project going to be? A reboot of Mutant Chronicles, or an evolution of the original setting?
This is important to justify the differences with the classic Mutant Chronicles we have been loving. Do you want to change the classic concepts? Ok: just explain, in the background story and the fluff, WHY there have been such changes. Has the Brotherhood found a way to purify technology so that weapons and such could be more sophisticated? Has Cybertronic advanced in their researches? With such explanations, it would be easier to accept the new concepts, because these changes will be blended with the original canon.
If a reboot is what is going on, well... I do not think it is the right path to follow. It would always be something different from the MC we have learned to love, and it is a risky way to impress new customers. Which is the problem? Big shoulderpads? Bulky weapons? Well, that is what made Mutant Chronicles... Mutant Chronicles. Maybe a better approach would be to put classic bulky weapons and shoulderpads as optional pieces (maybe instead of a legs/arms pose).
Other point is: I hope Facebook would not be the main site where this project will be discussed and supported. I do not use it (and I won’t), so I really hope that opinions of non-Facebook users will be taken into consideration equally.
Finally, my aestethics considerations:
Brotherhood:
Just perfect.
I hope the Art will be given the right importance in the gameplay. Powers should be the... power of Brotherhood.
Dark Legion:
Alakhai and Necromutant seem great. The Razide seems too small. The Legionnaires are a bit too.. anonymous. Some metal plate on their skin should characterize them better.
Cybertronic:
A bit too futuristic if compared with other pieces. As I said before, if this level of technology will be well explained in the background story, no problem here. The new Everassur design is better than the old concept, but it should have a more dynamic pose.
Bauhaus:
Well... I do not like it. Sorry. Shoulderpads shoul be shuolderpads, armplates should be armplates. My biggest concern about new Bauhaus design, even after the recent re-design, is its lack of details on armours; is it related to the use of resin/plastic? Why has its design to be so sharp-cornered? Why its surfaces should be so plain? The new Battlesuit concept (though better than the previous one) seems a walking washing machine with a man inside...
For the shoulderpads (and just for them), i would recommend this design:
It is not as exaggerate as old illustrations, and it is more characteristic.
I love how you are taking into account feedbacks from your followers, and I love the work Prodos is doing. Do not forget that when reading my opinions!
I am a long-time MC lover and purist, and I am an avid and insanely accurate Warzone player. Actually, I am the rules guru for the Italian community, who likes to experiment new game options with his strong group of players near Rome. If we could be of any help, just ask. We would be proud to support this project more than just economically.
