yes, stupid name for a thread, probably a dumber idea, but hell, why not? I dont know about everyone else, but i think this mod should have a little bit more gore and/or blood. It just adds satifaction to a kill when you see litle pieces. Most wont be up for it, but hey, worth a try. Note: I am not some homiciadal maniac, just one who likes gibbing people.
I'm sure Empty could work something up with the current blood particle system and gib sprites from Duke Nukem 3D. And if the thought of disembodied eyeballs shooting everywhere doesn't convince him to do this immediately, nothing will. (That said, once a guy shoots out three or more eyeballs while you're shooting him, you have to wonder...)
well im not talking about total dismemberment, just a missing arm or leg. or maybe a special headshot thing. more blood wouldbe nice though, if not gore.
Killing headshot particle which explodes in blood shouldn't be too hard. Other than that though there is already a bit of a ridiculous amount of blood when you get shot.
No. Absolutely no. I don't need any kind of gore and blood in Empires. It's not a stupid shooter. It's about teamwork and strategy. And maybe then we get some problems with age-restriction in some countries. See the discussion in Germany. Many politician would like to forbid to play and produce games like counter strike.
w/e nobody cares. Empires is a free mod, if you have CSS, Half Life 2, TF2, DoD, or any other source engine game I can download empires. If we wan't dismembered mutilated bodies, with arms cut off, eyes ripped out and brains sticking to ceilings then we do that. And if you don't wan't it turn it off options>gore/blood>none/little/extreme
Well, it would need to be somewhat efficient as now that we are starting to try to make this laggy ass 64 man server work (this reliable snapshot overflow is killing the comms), additional entities spawning from entities getting shot in a heated battlefied will make it hard to keep things straight. However, I'm not opposed to it. Disable-able blood particle changes wouldn't be unwelcome. Also, STFU about the politics, this is a mod, they can't *ban* anything, unless they first ban HL2
blood really doesnt need to be synched with servers -> should have no impact on lagging ... also there is enough blood in empires already. if you play a game BECAUSE of blood and brutality you are some really sad guy.
King pin life of crime. The most gory game of its time (1999). Now on steam. Get it if you're man enough. Legs flying off like in the rambo scene (you know the one) would be pretty lul, but I think that's about it. Just lul. Not artistic or clever. However, large bloodsplosions for killing headshots could look artistic, as well as just slight impact blood sprays. SLIGHT. Like little.
It would make revive a bit more WTF .. But I sure would want headshots to make a nice little.. Bam with the head.
I dont play bacuase of blood/gore, Empires is a great mod. just that little extra blood or a limb adds satifaction. (anyone whos played Fallout 2 or 3 will tell you that.)
