possible black screen change

currently in pr when you are critically wounded or dead a black screen of death comes to take you to the pearly gates. I think that when dead this should be the case. but when critically wounded it look the same as when you have 5% health and are coughing up blood. it seems a little more realistic. with your dying breath you can tell your team mates if hostile soldiers are running on top of your body to clear out or back up.

actually its a very good idea, and was disscussed in th tester forum when the black screen first came,

and also i think ghost is getting the wrong idea, at 5% health you screen is basically black, but not completly black and not normal, you are only able to see things that are very close, like the medic trying to rez you etc

Yeah it would be looking up to the sky with the bleeding effect (I think that was what he's trying to say) so you wouldn't really be able to do anything more then when you were dead other then seeing whether you might be revived.

Thats the point, he can´t see exactly where you are hiding.

I wouldn´t stay next to a dead soldier anyway...

Well, I think it's a good suggestion.

Good point,

the 5% health view is great too; I doubt you will see where someone is hiding after you turn very "black and white"

heck, when bleeding gets that bad, I can no longer see the target and either just keel over to die, or fire madly in the direction of the shooting.

I highly doubt they would be able to disclose a location when they can't see anything besides a medic.

I think the Black Screen works fine I think..

I mean you still and always will have the unrealistic part of still telling your team from what direction you died in, and where they where when you died.

When you are critical you should have that 5% vision thing and shellshocked ears. When you die everything should go black and all sound should cut off. Is this possible?

Sounds good to me, would make the game more interesting and draw a greater distinction between death and a critical wound which is usefull to the medic, people dont always say they cant be revived just that they have been shot

When you are dead you should not hear a thing.
I can still count hostiles moving past my dead body and inform my squad about what they are doing.
