Dreadlocks Are Intimidating!
« on: April 16, 2008, 05:27:54 pm »
Am I the only Soldat player that freaks out everytime he sees a player that has dreadlocks?  I always think, "HOLY SHIT, THIS GUY HAS DREADLOCKS!  HE'S GOTTA BE GOOD!  OH SHIT!"

Maybe it's because I see a lot of good players that have dreadlocks?  I dunno.

don't get intimidated by those guys, sometimes, they can't do shit

I dunno, seems to me like 2/3 of Soldat players have the durn things. And lots of them are in blonde. Like mine.  :-\

Dreadlocks are fun to throw around. :D

You're right, though. They do intimidate. I wear a cap to make things fair, but if someone shoots me and my hat falls off, they just die. They just drop their weapon and die because of how cool the dreadlocks are.

Lol dreadlocks are cool and can look intimidating, but I think it can be a disadvantage for me since I like to remain as difficult to detect as possible (Note: My full black character appearance with normal hair, no headgear and no accessories). The dreadlocks would kind of give me away because the moving dreadlocks would catch attention.

Dreadlocks are ftw. I remember I used to be intimidated by them way back when I first started.

I remeber when i was playing soldat for 2 years ago (just started) and i saw people with this style. and i wasnt able to choose it.
Noticed like a year or so after that, that i couldnt wear a helmet to make it be visible

Meh, I rarely take notice of a person's in-game appearance outside of color.
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.

The appearance of the player isn't intimidating imo.  It's more intimidating to watch a pro in action... and then realize hes aiming right at you.

ROFL!!!

I know how to nerf! We're gonna cut short the dreadlocks! We're gonna make it unable to move too!

On Topic:
Dreadlocks look cool. Like the "typical minigun", the dreadlocks give the impression that it is pwnage, when it may not really be.

I find someone without dreadlocks more intimidating as they are to crazy not to have deads.
Hats and helmets are the least intimidating - probably because majors wear them.
Bright colours are also intimidating.

Pink dreadlocks make for a more subtle effect.

I'm not sure about that. I guess that's just an illusion..
I have them too, they are fun to screw around with and have a cool look when moving in air etc.
I just throw my knife at them all the time, hoping the dreadlocks get cut off. But I always fail.. :<
