unconscious

i might get some flack for this but im gonna say it anyway. when a player cant fight back it just makes people mad and angry. i can understand from long term blood loss but when in combat its a bad function for a game. i say game because thats what this is supposed to be.

players dont like not being able to control their character. its the main reason why the issues of crowd control in most games becomes a problem.

You dont like it, so no one likes it.

im just stating a fact that not being able to control one character becomes a major issue for most games. i knew i would take flack at this stage of the game because most people at this point in a games development will defend it to the death. but looking at most games that have been out for the long and short term, the ability to lost control of ones character moves people away.

If you haven't noticed people bleed pretty easy. I'ts kinda of what we do. Blood lose leads to unconsciousness pretty fast if your bleeding like a drain. Try it out at home. Am i saying this game is anywhere close to realistic? No.

Doesn't really bother me. I don't spend all day pvping anyway. I actually did get knocked out last night after getting lit up by a bunch of server hoppers that couldn't aim for shit. (One shot to the back of the head is all it takes fellas) Didn't matter, their 15th shot finally killed me.

Unconciousness allows for some middleground between being alive and healthy and just plain dead. Rescuing a downed teammate is one of the best gameplay experiences you can have here that doesnt involve polishing your e-peen by killing others.

Thinking about it all wrong, your unconscious? You've lost. That timer is a 'second chance', whether you actually get to take advantage of it or not is purely up to the other guys aim.

i understand the realness of blood loss, but remember this is a game. it can get close to the real thing, but it should never get too close. 500,000 may have gotten the mod, but how many will support the game moving forward when they cant control their character, hackers dominate, and the map remains and becomes repetitive.

like i said i expect to take flack for this. most of the people playing this early will fight to the death for this game as is. but remember, this is not a military sim anymore, its a zombie game. most people that want to play a game want to have control of their character. losing that control makes most people angry.
