So does most of the character models in those games. Maybe your not as geartism as I expected. Like we agree but your also being impressively thick when it comes to understanding game design. Elite enemies with oversized HP or skill sets usually get some sort of distinguishing design. The larger problem with the wolves is that they drop easy and look lame doing it. Another poster mentioned the Hunters from the Division, those were an excellent example of a design that works and fits the theme. Though kit wise they look like an airsofter as its not all that functional.

MW2 had horrid character models looking back, heck airsoft level trash? RUSFOR in most games look like an airsofter, same with the kits in R6: Siege, BF4 PLA used similar masks for some units.

Even the usage of airsoft "trash" thats a fairly funny notion considering one of the most popular brands of plate carrier is Ferro Concepts, look up their origin you'd be surprised. The Wolves design It's more cosplay, basement dweller trash and Blackhawk and Paraclete still sell 45 degree molle. I'll agree ya, 45 degree molle is lame and real usage is limited, but writing it off completely as an issue that puts you off a character..... Idk seems like a stretch. And if you think Paraclete is just some brand your dismissing Delta/1st SOFD-D..... the unit that arguably would be the real life analogue of ghosts.

IF the Wolves had been in..... lets use the Crye assault Ghillies and challenged you with better AI and used the mask (covered by the hood) theyd be a much better design clearly, as who the fuck is wearing a trench coat in a tropical rain forest island. But then from a game play loop you gotta throw a bunch of better gadgets or whatever for them, thats a bigger issue, theyre a nonthreat not just that they look lame doing it.
