anyone miss the gibbing goodness of old DOD?

[poseyjmac]

i thought it was great playing DOD 1.3 when i threw a grenade into an alley, and saw chunks of bodies flying out, including the infamous skull with one eye gib, lol. i mean, its basically halflife1 gibbing model, but it fit DOD so well, made the experience very saving private ryanish.

sure it wasn't the most realistic thing having an entire body explode into little giblets, but with source engine it seems like a good balance could be had. like randomly, but depending on the closeness of the grenade, 1 hand, arm, foot, leg could get severed off, and act as its own physically stimulated object, or in the case of an entire arm or leg, a simple 1 jointed ragdoll. nothing overboard, but realistic.

just thinking it could be sweet. it wouldn't seem that hard of a mod to do, the helmet already does it basically, so not much new coding would be involved. if anyone wants to help mod it, ill be the mod leader that doesn't actually do any work, but claims responsibility for actual work involved. :thumbs: kidding..

No.

In real life, a grenade probably wouldn't even be enough of an explosion to maul your face. It's the piping hot shrapnel that kills you.

I realize that this is a game, and that they could add it if it was fun, but no. It seems too rediculous for DoDS.

And yes, I own a copy of DoD retail.

hehe yea that would suck, although thats why you could make it so only really close grenade kills dismember, which actually isn't very often, but then you would know someone really took it close-range

 

[Ennui]

I'm fine without gibs.

I like wathcing bodies become rag dolls. More fun than gibs.

 

[poseyjmac]

there would still be ragdolls, actually more ragdolls. but yea..

i actually agree gis do add an amaing element to games but u wouldnt be able to modify dod to do this or rather you would but it wouldnt be able to work along with dod:s it would have to be a server plug or something.

People would probably only gib if they got hit by the bazooka dead on in the chest. Other than that I wouldnt mind seeing legs and stuff blown off. But that would be demanding on any comp.

 

[poseyjmac]

forgot about how much CPU it would absorb, argh. i get low enough FPS already in dod. oh well heh

 

[Thadius Dean]

FEAR gibs are great, mabye some like those would be good?

 

[OmegaX]

Yeah it would be great if you could blow the enemys arms and legs off with grenades and stuff. I'm sure we will see this in future games.

 

[Homer]

The time will come. Just wait until ravensoft desides to start playing with new tech for a SOF3.

 

[Captain M4d]

I think we all miss those great HL1 gibs.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I think we all miss those great HL1 gibs.

So, sooooooooo true Captain..............;(

 

[-WorldSpawn-]

I wouldn't want to see total gibbage. Just an arm or a leg blown off here and there depending on the blast radius and proximity.

Where the hell did you hear that.

common sense?

or do you actually think grenades produce a fireball that blows the body into tiny bits?

way too much hollywood there imo
