Hi,
As you all know, war is bloody :p

Especially when the artillery fires!

So i was thinking that if a soldier explodes near us, the blood should splash the screen... :)

The player would then have to wash his head with one of his hands...
Or maybe the blood would leave alone..

I have looked every topics.. I hope nobody post this idea before me.. and that it isnt already in RO. I didn't play this game for a while so i apologise if i did something wrong :(

If blood hits your eyes the screen should get a slight reddish colour.
Soldiers have no glass in front of their eyes (unless they carry glasses).

Your eyes reaction system is pretty good.

So what would most likely happen is that you see the blood splatters coming close to you, and then automatically close your eyes for the point of impact. In that sense splatter might make a lot of sense. As long as it indeed doesn't look like it has splatted onto a window, but more like its moving towards your eye.

Nah I dont mind seeing blood flying about! But you would blink and turn away instead of getting blinded!

Interesting idea but not a sound one Im afraid!

If you get blood in your eye, the whole screen should start flashing black and red and force you to look at the ground while your character tries to get his tear ducts flowing.

As long as it is not done like in corny games, like CoD, and so many other games.

If it were to be realistic, you would not be able to see or shoot straight because you'd be wiping your eyes out.

Which just does not work in a game, IMO.

Best to leave it out.

I GOT IT!!! when u got wounded in ur head... it happens all the time in RO and it would be cool if you screen slowly gets redder... but then once the bleeding is patched up gets clearer...

as long as it isn't done all hollywood-style with the individual blood droplets showing on-screen then I say why not?

even if you blink and turn away, some is undoubtedly going to get into your eyes, think about it this way, if you've ever had water splashed in your face, you blink and turn away, but some will get into eye area, and when you open your eyes, your vision does get a little blurred

same concept can apply to blood
