Blinking 'eck I've been shot!

Sadist_Cain · 02-09-2008, 07:11 AM

How about adding a black screen when shot that lasts for just over half a second and acts like an eye opening up afterwards.

I'm thinking this because we cannot force prone in PR and at the moment there isn't that much difference between when a round flies over your head and when one hits you in the chest.

Afaik It'd be a natural human relex to blink when a piece of lead hits you at 1500fps :P

Main reason though is this should be able to get rid of the current situation where you can shoot someone and (though blurry) they can calmy turn around to face where they've been shot from and retaliate.

Imho having you eyes shut for that split second when you're hit will definately encourage people to dive for cover much more, and will also give the obvious disadvantage to whoever gets shot first.

(please no crap about "ohhh lets include sneezing too!

" not in the mood for sarcy comments on this one)

Point is that if you get shot you're going to blink, some might have their eyes closed for longer but you will certainly blink (at least) and this is what can give an enemy his advantage.

I think having the screen flash instantly blank (shutting eyes hard) and and eyelid kinda thing slowly opening with everything still blurry would be pretty cool and immersive (not too slow though... you're gna be panicking Imo :P)

Edit: Ahhhhh Cack it I've put this in general discussion cos I'm far too ub3r for the suggestions thread :P lol
*****THREAD NEEDS MOVING INTO SUGGESTIONS FORUM, MY BAD SORRY :'(*****

I agree.

Good plan.

Would really help with other kinds of suppression effects to make it difficult to shoot.

Sound like a good idea D

I dont know what the DEVs are trying to do with suppression, but this would be better than blurred screens when hit.

Heskey · 02-09-2008, 08:31 AM

Do it!

Sadist_Cain · 02-09-2008, 08:31 AM

Seems to be going down well

Just need this thread moving (sorry for the bump, Don't wanna lose this and have to recreate it in the Suggestions forum)

Rofl @ engineers post :P That's a hardware graphics effect

lol

I already have such feature. It seems my craphics card is too old to manage some of the features, and sometimes even fog...

When you are shot, and start to bleed, your screen goes blurry. If I get shot, my screen goes completely gray, FPS drops near to 5 thus making everything unplayable.

It takes about 15-20 seconds for me to take a dressing, toss it to the ground... Then I just need to wait still and hope no one shots me, because I cant see anything. Then suddenly, the gray screen goes away and I can see everything properly again.

I kinda like this feature... Too bad it's probably just me who is experiencing this.

$kelet0r · 02-09-2008, 08:36 AM

It's been suggested a million times ... and yes it would be great to see ingame
Using the flashbang effect would be perferable imo but it has the same goal anyway

I endorse this suggestion.
