Red flashing contour of frag

Post by Jeser » 13 Aug 2015, 13:03

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Remove red flashing contour of frag from aliens sight.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Prevents aliens from Meto-knowing and running from grenades.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): If you are alien - red contour doesn't appear.

But most of the time a nade is thrown,it means its ready to blow....you dont need a red slashing sprite to know that

The point he's making is that initially Aliens should not know that grenades (and mines) explode, and the red flashing simply reinforces the idea that Aliens should initially run away from these metal balls.

It also makes grenade use hard as everyone and their half blind dog will know a grenade has been thrown.

All my +1. Tired of aliens instantly running from frag grendades/grenades in general. It's meta and kinda crappy.

I'm undecided on this one...

On the upper hand, you can wait a second, or two before throwing, for it to explode on contact.

But, aliens running away from nades is a bit... problematic.
