Cool little feature

[Stefan Knobb]

After a match is over there could be a body count table displayed, showing the total losses of both teams: infantry, tanks, etc.
I think that this would be a nice addition?

 

[Tripper]

A butcher's bill at the end of each battle.

I like it.

 

[Reznor]

Actually, no bad idea. I'd like it if it was made up similiar to the casualties meantioned in the trailer (somewhat serious and maybe a bit tragic, not like [CoD]"Kill count: 132 Jerries!"[/CoD]) .

Maybe instead of showing one overview-point of the map all the time, the screen would fade to black with white writing, showing the total amount of soldiers in battle per side (= maximum reinforcements set by map) and the casualties per side. Maybe a little text would be nice too:

"The grim battle between [Allied Team Name by map] and [Axies Team Name by map] finally ended, but many men lost their lives:"

I wouldn't like to see a "kill stat" at the end of a battle, but since Red Orchestra already pictures the gruesomeness of the eastern front a meantioning of the casuatlies would fit in very well.
If the loading screens would include some historical information about the upcoming map, it would give the battles of Red Orchestra a very unique touch.

This is in the wrong place but its not a bad idea or suggestion !

 

[Blitz-Hawk]

Not a bad idea. Sure beats staring at nothing while people yell out inane voice commands waiting for the vote to finish

 

[Silky_Slim]

Reminds me of halo's post action carnage report.

 

[Comrade Wasabi]

Sounds good. Gives me something to do other than swear at the guy who was firing his PPSh when the round ended.

 

[aesdana]

NICE! This would would be fun to see after each game

 

[Murphy]

If its possible to code, make it appear in the loadingscreen of the next map.

 

[Rak]

Can't disagree with this, would be good to see the casualties of the map Also maybe include deaths made by certain weapons? Like X killed by MG, X killed by Sniper fire etc.

 

[Rrralphster]

No votes for this idea?
It would get mine!

 

[Heldentod]

count me in for it

 

[Dav1d]

I like it too, it would give you an idea of the scale of the battle.

 

[Mike_Nomad]

I like it too, it would give you an idea of the scale of the battle.

Its a very good suggestion... I'd love to see it happen.

 

[Marlon]

Gets my vote! A nice little touch...

 

[piller]

definately sounds very interesting. I support it all the way.

To make it realitic it could be like a combat operations report. Its definately useful for those realism server which block out your enemy's reinforcements.

 

[Letum]

Can't fault this, top ider

 

[BSE|Vietcong]

I love the idea, too. However it should neither be to CS-ish nor too depressing. After all this is a game and designed to have fun.

Being reminded of the fact that war is cruel and inhuman in a game like this seems not to fit in my opinion. If it was like that, we shouldn't play this game at all, because it wouldn't be any fun.

 

[Heldentod]

and here your wrong, if TW strives for realism they HAVE to show how cruel war is. i suggest you watch the documentation of Stalingrad which comes the Stalingrad movie (german). there a former Luftwaffenpilot tells how war really is. how about the histocial outcome at the end of the map( for historical maps of course! )

 

[SiC-Disaster]

so showing the bodycount makes you feel bad more then seeing soldiers getting ripped apart by grenades and artillery fire ingame? i'd say both are depressing, thus both should be in a war-game.
CoD is no wargame, it pretends to be. Operation Flashpoint is a wargame, Red Orchestra is a wargame, even Ghost Recon might be counted as a wargame, ( though good, it felt like a rainbow six in more open spaces to me. there was only 1 level in entire GR that felt like war to me ).
war isnt pretty, and thus wargames cant be pretty, or else it isnt a good wargame but something CoD-ish. IMHO

btw, this has my vote, if you couldnt tell from the story it isnt just all critics
