red arrows

[asd]

will these red arrows which show you that u got damaged be back?
they were really great.

 

[Chris D]

they were ok... we don't know yet

 

[MrTeatime]

I don't know if you reall need them. With the new, slick interface they would look rather awkward and goofy by comparison. :dork:

 

[Hudson]

i think their time has passed

 

[Chris D]

I'd personally want to live without them, but hey... it'd be an easy mod :cheese:

 

[asd]

i think they help u finding ur enemy

 

[Guest]

they help you finding out where you're being hit, Myself I did not like them.

 

[asd]

the enemy is there where u were hit from, isn't it?

 

[what]

I never used them, I depend on sound to know where I'm being shot from.

 

[asd]

u used them unconscientiously

 

[Zigrah]

I never thought they helped but they do... I wouldn't mind having some form of that system back again. just maybe more discreet with the option of maybe to toggle it off.

 

[asd]

its the same suit, so why shouldnt there be arrows? downgarde?

 

[Reaper978]

I always use them, especially if somone is using a silencer. I mean, how would you not know where bullets are hitting you? heh.

 

[Ridic]

i dont like them, usally if your being shot at by someone who you cant see right away you would usally run for cover, at least smart ppl would.
i dont like the red arrows, but if some people do then it can be a settign in the options menu that can be turned on or off.

 

[ZeoviZ]

I'd want them as an option, but of by default. If you're deaf or want to play loud music, they might be helpful.

I have mixed feelings about the arrows. On one hand they tell you where the enemy is, and when you get hurt you really feel like you're getting hurt cause your screen is all red. However they are also kind of annoying and take away from the realism. I guess it's better without them.

I thought smart people needed to know which direction to guard in order to gain cover...

 

[Dagobert]

u used them unconscientiously

The spelling is bad but the sentiment is correct. Lots of games have ripped off this idea. Why? Because it works.

 

[Nuclear_Gerber]

I dont really care if they'll make a comeback or not.
Its up to valve to decide.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Arrows were important to the hud in HL1. As it seems the new one is basically a rehash so there should be back in some form... maybe green? Bah who knows.

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

I have a great surround sound system so I can hear where shots are coming from.

But I liked the arrows, they were new and they made the game stick out.

 

[asd]

couldn't anyone ask valve?

 

[Stingey]

it shows you where you got hit
it does NOT show from where
if a guy infront of youm shoots you in your rigthshoulder that thing points right
try it its true
Or its just blueshift were i noticed it yesterday
