Blood idea

[Dedas]

Sometimes I wish this game was more moddable, that would make both the conservatives and the more progressive people happy.

Its tacky and has no place in the game, WinSPX is not CounterStrike.

"ZOMG! Letz make teh gamez look liek doom! LOL!" and "GTA:III had gore, y can't this game have it?" is all I'm hearing.

Yep the idea of an generic corps to represent the killing of an entire squad or a sniper unit was something I had proposed in another post but with little succes...

But more corpses ar not a bad thing either

"soldiers there is only two sort of men on this beach, those who are already dead and those who will be dead soon"

It's a silly idea and (the blood) looks awfull too.
And no, you shouldn't get 'great info' on casualties either. There's already the 'gods view' that gives more info to a player than it should so every bit of FOW and uncertainty you get is a bonus and makes for a more realistic game.

And Mr Dracula, where on earth did you come up with the idea that this game is a 'democracy'? It's a FREE game done as a hobby by a couple of people who have spend a lot of time getting the game to where it is now. They're quite open to suggestions but they decide in the end. Sometimes players get their wishes, sometimes they don't. It would become you if you could accept and respect the designers decision and motivation. And not drag this on.

Hey narwan!

Why you destroy Mr.Dracula's great idea?
I feel good if add this option.
No more reality. No more funny. What is this games conception.

This game is never Free for me and others.
You must not forget there are perchased users.

Thanks.

This forum is by definition a place for DEBATING and the origin of Forum came from ancient greek who use it as central tool for their DEMOCRACY... You should think of that

And I respect the work of the developpers !!! And I contribute like all other players to improve it by reporting bugs and issues but this give me the right to give my opinion about direction of the game like all other player (even you). And since there is many other player who share my opinion I fell free posting it on this forum with or without your permission...

And by the way yes this game is free (at least the crippled version) but it was in the beginning (10 years ago) a commercial one wich I had bought and now its a great project who lived thanks the developpers but no game would live with out players who plays them and love them. And so like in all relation there can be "conflict" and thats part of the game.

I agree the blood look totally out of place in the concept art screenshot as it feels "arcadish" and so is totally silly.
But the corpses, at least as portrayed in the concept art there :

does not look as silly and out of place at all, does not look like a gore fest either and those pixels do not look more violent that the bunch of pixels defining burning vehicles.

I can live easily without it as it has been years i played and never seen a single corpse in a Steel Panther game, but i don't really understand some of the reactions here defining this as silly/kiddie/whatever more condescending term as been used.

Yes it seems this subject is triggering some overractions that I hardly understand... I feel sometimes that some old greybeard wise wargamer are pointing an accusing finger on me juste because I have proposed a "little" more fun in the game and my arguments were absoloutely not childish, silly and other nice comments you have heard from this VERY open minded people.

I respect the work of the developpers but I also respect the suggestion of inff (at least the corpses but less the ketchup) because I had the same idea and many player also and others like you react positively on it so lets hope that "maybe" in a veeeeeerrrrryyyyy looooooonnnnnnnnnnng tiiiiiiiiimmmmeeeee this game will havesome heroic fallen who would have their grave on the battlefield
