Enhanced Blood/Gore Patch Coming...

Basically what I've done is taken this image:

and increased the color balances twice, as well as "liquifying" the layer, making the actual blood spots bigger, resulting in this.

(when u look back, the original blood looks pretty wimpy, huh?)

in my opinion, there are 3 kinds of mods,

1. Mods that are cool for a second but get annoying or boring after a while,
2. Mods that are really cool but are dysfunctional online or change things drastically,
3. Mods that are just plain cool and effect almost nothing in the actual gameplay.

anyway, I plan on releasing it sometime soon but need someone with photoshop and the dds plugin to help! My plugin is fricked up - I plan on reformatting tonight though(yes, that's what it has come to)

I know you cant give me accurate feedback now, but any comments?

If you can help, and have AIM, Instant Message me at DaveLinger89

So...you're reformatting your hard drive because a photoshop plugin wont work. DUDE ITS JUST A GAME.

And as for the blood....I'm sure all the anti-game people will love this little topic.

Let me get this straight...this mod makes the blood more red? :?

It would be better if you made blood spurt out when you shoot a marine or crewman - stupid Bungie forgot to leave out that detail.

um

yes it does

just watch when you shoot 'em

yea... I agree with Demonic here. the blood looks good, but I dont think it will affect gameplay that much... unless it really stands out?

I do. I have all settings in graphics enabled, highest res, and high on everything, and whenever I shoot anything it hits the deck and no blood spurts out with either a marine or a crewman. Not even Captain Keyes.

And if blood does spurt, it would be awesome to see the blood run when you die, slowly forming a puddle...*fidgets* *fidgets* :|

I've driven rockets into the marine, a 150 RPS MA5B AR into the crewman and marine, and nothing comes out. Do you mean XBox Halo?

And I mean when the 'rines and crewmen are dead, seeing the light, and/or pushing up daises.

Done that too, nothing happens. Must be my version of Halo is glitchy or something.
