DreadScourge Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Real Talk - One is a low poly version of the other. The robotic shock troopers built with only the most advanced parts and pieces is just that, automatic sentries. However if you look at them closely you can see bio-organic traits in the "face." Just because the textures don't merge on a flat surface making it look kind of like skin, doesn't mean the MOA has to lose it's personality. It acts like an animal and it bleeds liquid when shot.

I can agree with that take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDillinger Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The new model still has a very organic flow to it's legs, with soft curves and all that, just more mechanical detail. The Moa hasn't suddenly become exclusively composed of right angles, despite what you may want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I prefer the newer ones, they look amazingly detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the back, it's completely mechanical, and the front became separate platings, and are no longer flexible-looking. Also, there are those "exhaust vents" (the slits that look like | | | | , you know in the back of your microwave ovens and stuff) and bolts clearly visible on the front as well.

CrazyCanadian24 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Sorry, but the newer model is FAR better than the ye olde one. The old ones just looked too damn much like chickens for my liking. The new ones arn't much better in that regard, but they are a little better, and at least they have the decency to have a little detail to go along with it.

__Kanade__ Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Think about it, the organic look wasn't a good choice, Corpus specialize in robotics, not organics, the new look for the Moa's is much better, they don't look so bland as they used too and they actually look more robotic. Same for the Hyena and Jackyl. There is no petition here to sign. Edited April 27, 2013 by __Kanade__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the left looks like a fat McLaren F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strac_CRO Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 how about this? 1. small green MOAs are not in the game anymore 2. big green MOAs have old design, orange and blue have new (improved, tougher) robotics design (+ increase spawning rate of blues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the popular taste is "robot is cool." Some of us like the subtle look that suggests highly advanced robotics, but I guess it's not cool enough. We'll get used to the rock n' sock em robot, bolts and platings legs eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 And now the Stomp MOAs lost their unique color... Why do you hate the MOAs, DE, WHYYYY!!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noogums Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Shockwave Moa colour seems more like a bug than an intentional change.. I hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AscendantWyvern Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The robot look fit the Shockwave MOA strongly, it hints to powerful servomotors strong enough to cause shockwaves... As for the others, I'm on the fence because i can't really complain about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrixEXO Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) BTH, easiest way out for all of us and would make DE be happy to put it back in is if it came in as an enemy skin selection. This way, we both get to keep the old one and the new one PLUS DE gets to earn a small bit of cash (maybe having it cost 5 Plat since it isn't that significant, the visual change).

LoRDxDeMoN Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Corpus as a faction should keep a somewhat consistent look. The sleek n smooth MOAs were contrasting the very bulky and cumbersome buckets the Crewmen wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZezXion Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 To be fair, I'm almost 90% sure the Moa ARE organic life-forms with armour plating and attachments, much like a Strider from Half-Life 2. I think they should look like they have armour plating. I like the new look. Don't believe me about the whole organic part? Think to yourself about why the Moa bleed upon being shot in their faces. Why would they put blood in plain old security robots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaynman Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I just want the shockwave moa to be a different color again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemagorVC Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 First and foremost, I vote for the idea of having the "smooth" ones serve as front-line units while the more boxy/robotic-looking units come out as a rapid-deployment force, Either way, I would appreciate returning the "stompers" to their original orange color. Having everyone in green is quite annoying; you don't know who to prioritize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like having a big head mode and stuff like that? You can have an "Original design mode." But, again, DE is going for a game that isnt that much of a hog on comps so they want to keep everything as lean as possible. In fact, those new benches they added in a couple of places could be the memory that was used for loading that different color. DAMN YOU BENCHES! Down with benches!
