How do we know our attacks are working?

ViPr · October 2002

if there is no blood or gore then how are we supposed to tell whether we are missing or hitting the enemies?

Jops · October 2002

Aliens have blood effects if shot, marines, well all the aliens have melee attacks so if they are hit they will probably fall over <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I believe the marine armor sparks

JediYoshi · October 2002

Marines getting hit = sparksz0rs

Messenjah · October 2002

Yeah, aliens bleed and all of the alien attacks are either melee or some kind of acid/spore/etc.... err... except spikes but... err...

Greedo · October 2002

Well, after a few games, you'll know. It won't be difficult at all to tell.

Hida_Tsuzua · October 2002

You also will hear a grunt of pain and a nice "hit" sound along with the sparks.

Xen blood was more of a vomit yellow.

NS blood is a yellowy green more yellow than Xen blood.

Freemantle · October 2002

I believe when he said Xen he meant the previous poster.

F_o_RStorm · October 2002

I've always thought of the aliens spewing puss, rather than bleeding. I dunno. Green blood? Looks like puss to me. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

doctopepa · October 2002

I would like some bloodstains from the marines too. When they die, or are close to dying. A patch for mature gamers would be in place, absolutely. Devs?

pielemuis · October 2002

we already discussed blood doctopepa. Surely you can enjoy a game without blood? There's always sof2 if you want blood s:)

doctopepa · October 2002

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to choose. I fully agree a bloodbath does not fit into NS but it just seems so (sorry) bust-a-move-children-friendly. An official/unofficial ADDON that changes normal ns play SLIGHTLY would be the best alternative.

Woggy · October 2002

I too, would like some blood. It always seems somethings missing if theres no blood in an fps <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Shuvit_Viper · October 2002

Well, i don't think that will happen to NS. When you hear it 'no blood but sparks' you think 'they need blood'. But, when you play, it makes no difference, and feels natural..

Also, remember the marine are almost totally (the HA's really totally) covered with armor. It's more realistic the armor would give sparks then bleed...

Lazarus · October 2002

But if some 8 years old kid has got HL and is going to play NS, then Im pretty sure that he has already played HL singleplayer with all its gore and blood.

DeadalouS · October 2002

it cant be so hard to see if its working or not <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> IF THE DARN THING DIES.... it works... if u pump it with 200 bullets and u are 100% they hit... then it doesnt... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

with aliens just walk up to a laggin marine and slice him... if he doesnt die... they doesnt work.. fairly easy and simple.... (remember to take a demo so it can be fixed <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>)

almost all the pt's ive talked 2 have said pretty much the same thing, so i guess all we can do is wait and see <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Battousaix · October 2002

umm Flayra has already sayed that gore in ns may be a part of your ideas, but it´s not in his concept..... So no blood ta da =)

Darkness · October 2002

then i guess there will be no gibs either? man blood and gibbing makes a nice atmosphere if you ask me, i love that in a game, and i dont feel like killing someone after seeing blood either so i dont see whats wrong with blood.
i hope it wont be like tribes and battlefield 1942 where the player can take like a mortar shell in his ear and just hit the floor and fly away like friggin superman.
