Shellshock

[HalfDigested]

it just occured to me, why does the players ears never ring (the ingame player!) when a grenade or artillery fire hits nearby?
surely ones ears would ring and/or feel confused and disorientated after a huge shell landing next to them.

Turn your volume up really loud.

Like it isn't enough your vision shakes in an undamaged room 3 floors up when a grenade explodes on a street below you?

What does this effect have to do with shellshock? I like it, but "shellshock" is something different.

Yep. And if I'm correct it doesn't even decrease with the distance. I ranned like 30-50 meters away from sathcel, it exploded. Then I went into this small hole(satchel like 2 meters from me), and the effects were the same. This shellshock thing is just overdone(can't find the word, help me)

Damn Call of Duty, everyone calls concussion and temporary deafness "shellshock".

 

[Vakichev]

Hah, yeah, thats a common misconception thanks to unrealistic games everywhere.

 

[Coey]

Tinnitus is what causes the ringing in your ears. Not motherloving shellshock.

Who cares. Most eveyrone knows they mean anyways.

I for one was very confused when I read the title. Are you suggesting that, following a battle, the soldier should return to his home, maybe his family, and suffer from intense psychological trauma? I mean, that would certainly be realistic, but it may be somewhat outside of the scope of this game...

 

[[-project.rattus-]]

Nope, and exactly THAT is the problem.

 

[mbrooksay]

Nope, and exactly THAT is the problem.

Who doesn't udnerstand then?

This debate is a lot like the "I'm lagging really bad" one.

A lot of times when I see a player say "Wow I'm lagging really bad" I check their ping and I say, "It doesn't look like it. Are you getting a choppy framerate or are you experiencing latency lag?" People confuse those two all the time and it's still easy to see what someone means.

 

[AlphaNut]

One is screenlag, the other is network lag. They both are called lag.

Shellshock is a combat stress reaction.

I hate getting shelled! I run or drive far away as possible. The noise is terrific! When I hear the boom, boom, boom,boom in the distance I hope its friendly arty. Nope not this time BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! Right in my lap! I hate it. It drives me mad! I cant take it! ( runs away from the cpu)

Intersting idea, maybe make a new sims expansion... or someway to import your RO character into the sims.

I love how in CoD you have to be within the hurt radius of a grenade for it to cause motion blur an make you deff for a second lol. such lameness...
