no-gore mod?

[Stamp]

hey there.. i want to play this game.. but my family kinda frowns upon violence at that level.. like blood splattering . does such a mod exist that tones it down just a bit, like nixing the spilling blood, etc.

use the parental control/content lock in the options menu (if its there)

i believe theres one in half life 1.. but im gonna buy it tomorrow.. would be nice if such a feature exists in half life 2. (its on sale for 40 bucks canadian!)

Hmmm.. I just checked and couldnt find the option.. maybe someone else knows better?

Yeah, first person "shooters" tend to have blood. Try a pokemon game

Though a mod where you vanquish the enemy by throwing stuffed animals at them, or dazzle them into submission with colorful rainbows might be fun.

I'm not overly surprised Valve didn’t put in the anti-blood option, because the game deals with a lot of other content that would have to be cut to support a parental locking.

All textures with blood (like the Zombie bodies) would have to have an alternate texture. The game would have to remove all the corpses in the game. The general concept of the Stalker could be included as something needed to be locked, which would cut out a considerable amount of detail in the last few scenes of the game.

Then there are sequences like when going through the canals and seeing resistance fighters being executed, that would have to be cut.

Games like Doom3 can be pretty simply locked due to most of the inappropriate content being "Blood and Gore", whereas with Half-Life 2 half the "adult content" is entire atmosphere.

ok, thx guys for the warning

I think theres a command like cl_gore 1 or something that you can set to 0 to disable the blood, it may even be cl_blood 1.
