Personnaly, I think NS does quite nicely without any gore in it.
Sure NS could of been REALLY gruesome in some parts, but Flayra decided to go with AMBIENCE rather then gore, which, imho, was a good choice.
A few blood stains here and there don't hurt, but violence isn't what NS is about. It's all about the gameplay and the FEAR of getting chomped, and not ACTUALLY get chomped.
Like in terrorism, the FEAR is actually WORSE then an actual act.
But, if you want it in your map, go right ahead. some will enjoy, some wont. Your choice.
I won't put you down for it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
gore is cool, their is 1 problem with this game it has no storyline, like their no aliens getting marines and draging them into their hive then implanting eggs into them so they hatch and fight, its just aliens spawn and fight. how do they spawn??? the hive just gives birth but what does the hive live on?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> dunno??? dont care, i care!
wouldnt it be cool if shulks were the drone creatues and they had to heal by eatting corpses not getting sprayed with bacteria....
i better not say anymore cause it could be offencive...no offence..
It has a storyline. If you haven't read the NS Techtrope Guide or Six Days in Sanji, I suggest you do since they are the official backstory behind Natural Selection.

if your gonna make a game surrounding aliens eating people then you should see them ripped limb from limb
i respect flayra on his choice to exclude volence though if he doesnt think he needs his mod to have blud and guts then thats good enough for me
Me like that model Jeager.. would be nice if you could send it to me mail... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
You should keep in mind that Half life already has piles of gibs, skulls etc in the PAK.0 file. ( Can be opened with HLMV ) that you can scatter around your map to give a cheerful atmosphere.
You can also combine them with the TSA models, like so, or simply hack bits off the TSA models and recompile. ( Sounds complicated, but as these aint gonna be moving much, it's actually really easy. )
Adding blood to the models textures is as easy as going to HLMV > Export texture > Paint proggy of choice where you slap blood on > HLMV import texture > Save model.
Make your own versions of the map textures with added blood splatters would be dead easy with Wally.
His hands must be skeletal as well..and make the pants tattered somewhat, and then make them askew, like the leg was broken and has now rotted down to the bone. ... Interesting marine Jaeger. I like...it just seems a little *fake* when I looked at it. Add some skin to the face. I down the Kharaa take the time to skin your face completely.
I have no intention of working on this, I was merely demonstrating how quickly and easily you can lop off a few body parts, chuck some skeletal parts on etc...
Strangely, according to the NS storyline, the kharaa <b>do not</b> feed on meat, instead they feed on bacteria produced by the gorges.

EDIT: (Addon) Hey, why not someone remodel the hive to make it look like it's chewing a marine from it's "mouth" ? Make the marine body stick out 1/2way and make it shake with the hive. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think its a great idea. Why not have some dead marines around a hive? Just to add a little finishing touch on things. Id think it may even pump up players to kill the aliens even more if they see dead marines at the hive and stuff like that. I meen, dont get me wrong, I dont want it to be so vile and nasty that it would make me puke to just walk into a hive, just a little blood here and there, a body or two, just to add a little something..I duno...just my opinion on the thing. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hive eating marine...thats creative...but the way you said it should be preformed is disturbing. ... Yea, they don't eat marines...but...If an onos gores, I think there should be a like a gaping hole with lots of blood around it. And the dead bodies around the hive is actually pretty cool. Once, on H20, a bunch of LMG marine rushed the undefended 2nd hive. They wasted their LMG and pistol clips, then ran in to knife it. Aliens came in and mulched them. Since it was generator, lots of bodies were in the pit, and it looked soooo cool. ... yus...i'm paranoid...so <i>what</i> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

One cool idea was to hive a half-eaten marine lying somewhere on a map, a marine who is' missing his legs, one could add some scream sounds and such, hey just an idea <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
