In HL2 and in CS:S there is an indicator on the HUD that shows you from what direction you've been hit. AFAIK this is missing in Empires! I'd love to have that in there. (Also the deathcam showing you the enemy that killed you would be nice)
A simple red haze to the side that you're getting shot from would be nice. Very useful in other games. Death cam is a point I don't really care much about. Some might say that it lets you see where an enemy is even if he's well hidden and sniping. For that alone I'd say no.
Hit indicator would be nice. Though it's less of a problem on big open maps, those little push maps can be a pain without some assistance.
Hit indicator, yeah, since you can't feel where you're being shot... Deathcam, yes, but only in free mode.
the death cam would hurt scouts. mabey if its in, another aspect of silencer would be no death cam? but i say just leave it out. but a hit indicator would be nice, again have silencer make it wrong, like a random direction but never the side that you got hit on.
Nice Idea! or simply flash all directions... Anyhow from a Reality point of view (not that I care much about reality in a SciFi Game) you'd feel where the bullet came from. (with or without silencer) Also, the indicator will give you a vague direction only (Hit from behind, front, left, right, above/below) therefore the position of the attacker is not detected easily -olla
Why can't you just dodge spin and see where the blood is in relation to where you were going to/from and work it out using your brain?!?!?! Works for me !
Pick any: ... leave a hit pointer! ... leave no hit pointer! or like any horse riding instructor would say: "Leave the thinking to the horse, it has the bigger head!" :D (just joking)
Do you think that getting shot in the knee with a silenced weapon prevents you from noticing where you got hit? :D As far as I know hearing doesn't affect the pain sense in that way. I'm all for hit direction pointer. Even with silenced weapons, since it still hurts on the side you get hit even when the gun is silenced.
If someone hits you in the arm, even people without any sensation of pain should see the blood and put 2 and 2 together. (unless you cant count to 4. But if you cant do that and have no pain sensation, what kind of person are you!?!? (vegetable)) PS love brackets inside brackets.
You may as well miss it... for example because you were concentrated on repairing a refinery. If you are some egocentric Empires player though, you will notice... LOL: Looky at my mavelous avatar! Me likes those polygons a lots! Ah what a very cute texture I have there! Nicey! And look at those wonderful anima... hey! Why is there blood all over me pants? Yessir, blood! Like I swear! Its all red not white! Musta be blood! Guess I bit my lips in joy... or is maybe someone shooty shooty at me?
