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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

I selected no but after watching the vid I am up in the air about it. I am fine with the flash as long as it does linger on my screen for a insane amount of time. A quick half a second flash I can live with. A big huge red indicator I can't. I agree with some of the post above and below this one. Give us a toggable option.

Re: Do you like the jelly?


Sounds like there should be an option to utilize a less obvious damage indicator than the default.

Also, in anticipation of such a development - no suppression plz.

I liked the "WARNING" that displayed on your health bar in the bottom right, and I feel like that's good enough to let a player know that they're in danger.

The red screen glow is just unnecessary, I think.
