The Crew's Makeover: Your Opinion

[Slade]

So with the new trailer out we've got a pretty good look at the re-design of our beloved O4.

I'd like to hear your opinions on the new design, like it? hate it? Here are my opinions:

(Click on the images for a larger view)

Takeo Masaki

In my opinion definitely the best re-design. Takeo looks badass 8-)

Nikolai Belinski

Rezno-err Nikolai. Nikolai looks alright, much more serious than before.

Let's see if that translates well into his script.

Tank Dempsey

Actually looks a lot more different than I had expected. Nontheless I like Tank's new design.

Edward Richtofen

Richtofen. Whoah. I can't help but smile everytime I see his new design.

[Veid]

I like what Treyarch did with the O4's redesign. Takeo, unlike most was one of my favorite characters and I love that he looks even more badass than before.

[Vyhl]

Love the redesigns. They all look even more badass than before.

EDIT: Off topic but I mentioned this in another thread. Nikolai is holding a Ballista.

[BenHR]

It also looks like Dempsey and Takeo are holding MP40s.

I was extremely hesitant to say they looked "younger" like everyone else was saying. I simply saw it as Treyarch giving them their own unique models, compared to the models that had literally been ripped from the World at War campaign. But apparently they are indeed younger, considering this is "the first time they met".

Nonetheless, it is about time they get unique models... even if they are younger.

Not exactly the group we've come to appreciate. No Takeo feeling sorry for Nikolai or vengeful to Richtofen. No Richtofen going nuttier in the head every day. No Nikolai rambling about his wives. No Tank... well um... never mind.

Well they are definitely younger, Nikolia has aged horribly as we now see

To answer the question, I love the new looks, I think Dempsey is probably my least favorite because he looks like just about every other action hero in a army game now, but he still looks tough.

[Ehjookayted]

I agree. Takeo definitely looks the best, followed by Nikolai. I think that the dynamic we will see is going to be great, different, but great in a way that these characters don't have (the new BO II crew).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Richtofen's tinkering exaggerated a lot their personality that was already there? If so, we'll have some good banter still. Anyway, I can't wait to see how it all comes together in the supposed cutscene/cinematic.
