Do you like the jelly?

A while back on Reddit Higby posted a message that everyone assumed meant there would be no strawberry jam damage indicator, but it seems to have made its way in.

I'm fine with flashes of red to show that you're getting shot. But it sticking around is what irritates me. It just gets in the way and looks kind of dumb.

What is your opinion on the strawberry jam?

I thought that might indicate a red alert base (it seems to remain even on the respawn screen). Not a fan.

[Graywolves]

I'm not interested in it either.

Red flashes to let me know I'm loosing health is fine.

Jam on my visor isn't. Its just unsanitary.

[SpcFarlen]

Ya not a huge fan of that.

[Knightwyvern]

I agree; quick flash yes, long term or sustained (pun intended, har har) please no.

Your options are flawed and very easily indicate your opinion.

But your "red crap" is not about realism, it's about simplicity to see when you've taken critical damage. I have no problem with that, I assure you...

EDIT: You do realise that the red jelly is not the damage direction indicator, but a crit health indicator?

Ya, I typed it up really quick and didn't really care about how it said it. It falls into I want it, I don't, or I want it altered. If I could edit it now I would.

This.

Also after taking a critical hit you should be at a disadvantage. For example, limited FOV by the "jelly".

[GreatMazinkaise]

No to suppression and no to disabling.

It's hard enough to get the zerg to charge into a room as is.

[Red Beard]

No jelly smear please; just flashing.

Why should you be at a disadvantage? Even if they're already better than you, you should further limit their killing ability?

Not sure what you mean, your wording is confusing. What does someone being better than me have to do with what I said? My response was directed at people who say they want it out because it limits their FOV. If you've been severely wounded in a battle it would make sense that you are no longer as effective. That's just how I justify that red tint obstructing my view.

You have a red outline on your screen when low on health + the PS1 directional marker.

I did not see any "BLOODY SCREEN SO REAL!" anywhere.

Could've missed it, but am pretty sure.

Red flashes when you take damage have been around since Doom.

Most FPS players are used to it now.
