Space Marine (PC) - Shoulder Emblems

Unfortunate. Chaos only has 2 pages of emblems and most of the powers aren't even include and the Space Marines don't even include existing GW Chapter badges.

 

Same things I was thinking. At least with chaos you can chose to have a shoulderpad that doesn't have any space for a symbol. As far as my Space Marine guy I closed my eyes and picked one. They had nothing relatively close to mine!

They also said it was because they didn't want stupid badges that people would download (Penis anyone?)

 

The guys at Relic obviously don't find that a problem since no one did it in Retribution. And I played a good amount of last stand matches to vouch for that.

They could allow custom badges and allow us to one-click squelch/block the badges if we find them offensive (as we do with microphones and chat). But, as memory serves, that was the protest I saw the developers/designers put forward: they were worried about inappropriate shoulder badges despoiling potential views of their game. Not allowing it = zero room for risk. :(

 

I hope they reconsider; as you said, Retribution had no trouble.

 

ADDENDUM: WOULD IT HAVE KILLED THEM TO ADD A SHIELD?! Just any shield?! That I could make Red. :(

I assure you if that was the issue they were scared of then they wouldn't of done it in Retribution. But your suggestion makes sense and I thought that was what they were going to do. Have some simple shapes that people can manipulate. Oh, and add Chaos God Symbols.

I have a related question: Is is possible to move around some of the emblems ingame already? I wish to have a pre-Heresy Emperor's Children scheme for one of my loyalist skins, and I've been hoping there was a way I could use the emblem already in-game for it.

 

Admittedly, I know it is a vain hope, but it doesn't seem too hard to pull off.

Not really how it works, sadly. Sure, Retribution gives them some precedent, but it's available only on PC: since Space Marine is available on XBox Live and PS3's network, they also have to abide by their rules which may prevent them from allowing custom images in some cases. Also, with a wider audience they may have the corporate-instilled fear that "somebody looking over a shoulder will not buy the game due to seeing some awkward image on a shoulder plate."

 

I would very much like them to do it, but the fact remains that they haven't and went on record saying this was the reason (see the last FAQ question answered here).
