the idea is not the crystal clear view that you ahve in vBF2

its on the borderline of not being able to see anything at all, mostly just black and with bits of white where light is

you wont be able to see much past 2m so unless they camp your body you aint relaying jack

I like the idea also. To keep the downed slodier from relaying info, it may be good to make the blurry screen gradually fade out to black as the time passes from critically wounded to dead.

I like both ideas you suggested, and I also think it would be good if you could kill wounded, to stop them from relaying information.

NOw, if there can be two different screens, one for downtime and one for "dead"time, the first being blurry, the second black, that would be ok.

Even better if the downtime screen would be at first very blurry with black and/or red (initial shock of being shot), then, as the adrenaline kicks in, you get a slightly better view, but still blurry. Finally, as blood loss is taking its toll, the screen starts to fade more and more into black, until you actually die and get the completely black "death" screen.
Not sure, but i dont know if the camera follows the corpse or what. it kinda feels like its not centered on the head in the previous versions.because when you ragdolled off a ledge and you know that your corpse hit the ground, it would slowly fall to center withing those small fractions of a second.

I'd like to have a camera when you get critically wounded fall down,tilt head to the right then top at the sky and the black fades in.. or something like that

psycho! :twisted:

I think you can do that already - at some point everyone has had their critical wounded time ended by a closeby grenade explosion.

Excellent idea!

This reminded me of good ole times on wolfenstein ET. The player's camera would track any nearby medics while they were down + they would wave their arm in the air :grin:
