More Blood Sprites

Post by Wubs4Scrubs » 08 Mar 2017, 03:34

Summary: It would be cool to have some additional blood sprite which appear on the ground. The specific example I had in mind is when a marine is bleeding out from a severed artery or something it produces the same drop of blood sprite as somebody with a much more minor wound.

Benefits: Would enhance RP a bit by making more severe wounds leave larger blood trails/pools. Additionally, medics could discern quicker who needs attention as they could see the larger blood sprites coming from a wounded marine and know that he is in urgent need of treatment. Also with more blood sprite I feel like battlefields would look much more grizzly and warlike which could also bolster immersion.

Details: Add in some more blood sprites which are left by injured marines and make blood trails left by more injured marines spawn these larger blood sprites.

I really like this idea. It would give a marine a heads up if hes actually bleeding out pretty fast and needs a medic asap.

This would certainly be a great addition to bring out a darker theme in Cm. I especially like the idea of blood trails and just the idea of following a blood trail to find an injured marine.

That's something I'd love to see, I just picture the great moment of realization when you lose track of a squad member only to find a trail of blood leading off into the jungle.
