weapon skin competition?

I suggested this in another thread but it was ignored which only means one thing. I did not say it LOUD ENOUGH so here is its own personal dedicated thread.

Now that we have weapon skins/camo in the game how about we have a community competition to design a new weapon skin that can be unlocked. Either in photos hop paint or on pen and paper. Just another little community driven competition like before.

    Good idea, would be cool if devs gave us basic texture file for current weapons so we can play with that. Also, are you thinking about giving some rules on skin themes? Because I guess all those shiny, colorful skins like in CS:GO wouldn't really fit in here ;)

    Also, skins imho should be paired- if you are working on M4 you should also work on how it would look like as an AK105 etc.

    i don't see the US Army signing on for this. the skins have to be related to actual IRL camo patterns and such. there's only so many variants. that's not something that would require a competition or "heavily moderated" workshop to come up with.

    Then unfortuantely.. I would have had to settle for my M4 with a polka dot, rainbow colored flavor.

    Well now I'm going to be incredibly disappointed if this doesn't happen.

    Personally I'm not a fan.. I've seen skins in CS and most of them suck, makes the game look silly. I know ppl make money in that game creating skins but when everyone has a pink gun the game looks bad.

    It could work if they look professional, but as joked about above I sure don't want to sew pink polka dot guns in this game.

    Doubt the army would allow weird looking/colored skins. Almost certain that a skin competition would have some basic rules regarding colors and pattern.

    I love the look of some of the engraved designs that have been submitted. That kind of approach keeps more of a gunmetal overall appearance with some extra intricacy for the player himself.

    Then compare this camo pattern to a more artistic take on the color scheme as an example of how a reskin doesn't need to be particularly disruptive.

    I think a skin with the WWI-era Naval camo, the "Dazzle" pattern, would manage to both have the CS-style visual impact while still being a nod at military history:

    Yeah BC nice tasteful looking guns.. more than welcome.. I just don't want to see flaming [TOS Violation] guns

    I agree with doba, feel free to create crazy pink guns for the competition, but I would be upset if the devs pick one of those as a winner. It just doesn't fit the general theme AA seems to be going for. Keep it relatively normal please.

    Should be able to brand your teams logo on there :D

    I was only kidding about pink/rainbow camo's :lol:

    If it happens.. I'd rather (try and) make a ghillie type skin for M24, with grass dangling from it, to help the bush campers.
