<div class="IPBDescription">No blood in ns?</div>If there is in fact blood in the mod, then forgive the following.
I've heard that there is going to be no blood in Natural Selection. At least no human blood. Now what is the point of doing this? I think that blood makes the game more intense, adds to the fear factor.
Ok, so maybe its so that this mod can be played by people of all ages. Well, here's my question: why the hell would a kid be playing a mature game in the first place if they can't handle gore, or if their parents dont want them to.
Maybe there is no blood because people find it "tasteless." Well, is shooting/maiming people not tasteless? and once again, why would you have half life if blood bothered you? After all, the original game and most mods do have spouts of blood and gibs.
I guess the only remaining reason for having no blood would be so that Natural Selection can eventually be sold, but thats kind of evil to make a mod with the intent to profit from it, and since it hasnt been released thats a little arrogant of the team in assuming it will be a hit.

Seriously do you think that maybe the team could put what they want in their game that they have been working on for 2 years? What difference does it make to you? If you absolutly need blood dont play the game go play CS or DOD. 2 very good mods!
Regarding your second point they never said they were going to make it retail they said they were going to release it and if it ever was going to go retail theyd make more money since more ppl would buy it and play it...
Dont take this as a flame im just trying to steer you in the right direction! Oh yeah Welcome to the forums!

Aliens bleed green, I believe, but I doubt even that will be what you're expecting. Marines spark when aliens hit their armor.
I think the main idea the devs had was to make the game good enough that the inclusion of blood would be an unnecessary addition, since the game would be awesome enough to where blood didn't really add anything to it... I would comment on the "tasteless/ appeal to all ages" comment, but I really don't know enough about what the devs had in mind to respond to that one.
Beter explanation then me!
