If the above picture doesn't match your description you should probably know there's a glitch that seems to randomly occur that changes your stance to what appears to be a mix of two (the new one selected and the old one you were previously using).

I've been waiting for ODST armor that doesn't look terrible.
ODST is my favorite since the arrival of the DLC, prior to it my favorite was the locust helmet.
You can buy Oblivion GOTY edition on Steam for $11.99 currently, I'd probably get that.
But, as for the original question, I believe Oblivion is still worth playing. Hell, I still play Morrowind.
Haven would normally be a decent map if people didn't pick it everytime it showed up on map rotation.
Just how I used to like Ragnarok but then had to play it every single god damn game of BTB.
I went from blue eyed skull to normal skull with two tallies and Deadshot, Quick revive, and The steel barriers are still working. I do not believe these bonuses are associated with rank.
Deadshot, quick revive, and the barrier perk all worked for me as well as many others. Clearly you're doing something wrong or are just trolling as there is legitimate proof and confirmations from many s7s members.
