Marine Blood

Dread · May 2003

For the variety of reasons said here I have to agree that just a small amount of blood wouldn't do harm.

I'd like to see small amounts of blood as a plug-in to make hits easier to discern, or as an option.

the aliens bleed when they get shot. Why wouldn't marines bleed ?

I can see the reasoning behind not having it, but having played with it now, it's quite handy if for no reason other than feedback is a little easier to see.

I'd suggest everyone tries a server with it, and sees what they think. Possibly the inclusion devs as a cvar defaulted to 0?  </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

Warservers in the UK are running it. As is Roob if I remember rightly.....

At work tho', so unable to get them.

I like how no marine blood discourages some of the less loved members of the gaming community.

I converted to red blood for the aliens a long time ago. Some of you might ask, what alien has red blood? But I just think it looks and feels more natural. I haven't had a chance to play at a server with marine blood, so I don't know if it's good or bad. But as most of you say, it wouldn't harm and it's really hard to see when you hit as an alien.
And by the way, what's wrong with mortal combat?

Having played on servers with the marine blood mod, I can say it does look really quite silly.

<i>If it bleeds, it can be killed...</i>

I prefer playing with the blood because you know when you hit someone and as a marine you can see there was some recent combat in the place you see the blood.

But there shouldn't be fountains of blood either.

its pretty dull to bite a marine over and over again and have no feedback whatsoever, moreso when they have lvl 3 armor and the server processor is lagged.

and damn those dead animations suck, wth is that all about

Disman · May 2003

I agree with the bleeding issue. But then again it's the dev's baby so they get to call the shots. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

How come they can't put blood in and have it able to be shut of on the client side, on the mature lock button. Or when they have that checked have the blood be black and not red... I played with blood, and liked it... makes bloody hallways creepy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

A simple search shows that <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=32167&hl=blood' target='_blank'>this question has been answered in the recent past</a>, as well as addressed in the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=739' target='_blank'>Ideas and Suggestions FAQ</a>.

To the side questions: death animations will work in 1.1; search the Server Operators forum for the metamod plugin if you need something to fulfill your more sadistic desires.

You warn people from flaming just after you have said that people who disagree with you on this question have "sadistic desires". Nice to have such mature moderators here.

Maybe if you had actually read one of these threads you mentioned, you would have seen that some people want blood for DAMAGE FEEDBACK. And why should marine blood be any more splattery than the alien blood we already have? I assume that it's possible to use a reasonable amount of blood, just like ns 1.04 aliens have. Yet people seem to think, that having the other team bleed also, means that it will bleed 10 times more. Why is that?

Oppose the marine blood all you want, but even one reasonable argument would be nice to see.

Ok.. let me get this straight. You go watch jackass then see some kid on TV break his legs doing some stupid stunt and right after see some guy being shot to **** on the news after being in a car chase... But you dont want some RED colored pixels on the screen depicting blood?? YOU ARE A MARINE IN A WAR WITH ALIENS! I don`t think blood will make THAT big of a difference in the rating of this MOD. You don`t have 6 year olds playing this game. Most people are atleast in mid to late teens. ATLEAST! give the server operators a choice Console: "ns_gore 1" !!

I definitely think there should be Marine blood. At least as much as there is in Counter-Strike or Firearms. Look, I don't care who the hell plays this game, when a large chunk of leg is bitten off THERE'S GOING TO BE BLOOD. I don't care how much armor there is either; these bites must take off hella lot if it only takes 2 to kill an unupgraded Marine. I only think armor should fall off when Heavy Armor Marines are attacked, then it actually makes sense. I don't necessarly like lots of gore for the love of it like some people suggested, but it can be really fun to see some outrageous effects of your weapons. Take UT2K3 for example, the ragdoll physics are awesome. Halo is even better because no one gibs; those bodies stay around for ever to be knocked all over the place by explosives. There's no lack of blood in Halo, either. Bludgeon a Covenant Elite in the head and a proper spray of pulverized-almost-to-mist blood will spurt out from the incredible force of the Mark V power armor combined with the titanium butt of the MA5B assault rifle. Now Natural Selection doesn't need anything that dramatic, but throwing the lifeless corpse of your enemy around the room adds insult to injury...
