<div class="IPBDescription">Like O2, the snowflake, and fire</div> What are their effects and what causes each? When an OC shoots me, I get the O2 flash. Does this me underwater I would automatically suffocating after getting hit by an OC?

    It's just the wrong icon being displayed. You just need to know that you got damaged.

    The environment icons had use in Half Life, the original game. Going underwater and running out of breath brought up the O2 sign.. there was also a radiation sign, and a snowflake for frost/cold and fire for.. fire/heat.

    Not in any NS maps should they come from, but rather from like an OC

    Better question, why to aliens when the hive is down, freeze to death? lol Since they get the snow flake.

    I'm pretty sure that instead of drowning underwater, you take cold damage. Strange.

    I think radiation damage on some maps would be interesting, or electrical damage. I mean it's built into the engine, why not use it? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've had the cs C4 sprite pop up in a game once. I was a gorge and it showed whenever i switched to web. Too bad I don't have them screenies anymore.

    Those icons are hangovers from the HL engine, and remain the last bits of HL that would be seen in NS for whatever reason. They may or may not be removed...

    The poor half-life Icons were homeless and the NS team were nice and gave them a home.
