Exploding death?
« on: July 10, 2006, 11:25:27 pm »
Sorry for the strange thread title. This is one helluva weird idea i had.

I got this idea while watching Saving Private Ryan, the part where the flamethrower dudes are running up the beach and they get shot, and KABLAMMY, they splode into a colorful orgy of flames and crap like that.

What if the same happened with Soldat deaths? If you die while holding the LAW/M79/Flamethrower/Chainsaw, your player will explode violently (with body parts flying everywhere).

In real life, if you were holding a M79 and a person walked up to you and fired a few pistol rounds into your M79, wouldn't the shell explode?

I dunno, to be honest. Although it's a safe bet that would happen.

And i added the chainsaw to the list because they have gasoline inside them.  :P

What do you think?

Actually I was under the impression the M79 had built in safeguards to protect against those very sorts of things. It was brought up in a topic on the old forum, something about minimum detonation range or something.
IMHO:
It would be amusing for about 5 minutes, and then it would get repetitive. Imagine flying along when suddenly a spray of minimi bullets comes over the next hill and sends you to a firey doom.
Also, assuming the explosion worked like any other and hurt enemies this would turn M79ers into suicide bombers. (more than they already are)

You could always equip a law and type /mercy right before you die. Although that doesn't injure anybody... It's still pretty cool.

/mercy does injure people that stand right on your toes...

Good idea though, but shoud only happen if your health is less than 1% :)

It should be one of those things that doesn't happen often, but happens every once in a while (and when it does, it'll be awesome. :P)

When it does happen, it would be cool if some of the flamethrower type flames erupted out as well, damaging any person near you.

Could be something like the flaming Metal Slug sprite.

i think if you hold the law trigger when you die, it should still fire in that direction, so would the nade because you take off the ring... althought the grenade should fall quite near your body and then explode...

I agree. If this happened EVERY TIME, it would get annoying...

Think of all the onscreen clutter in big games....

If any1 has used the special operations mod u know that u can change the chainsaw into a suicide bomb vest it is pretty cool.  ;D Mabey if it is like a bonus pack that gives u a bomb pack so when you get killed u explode.

Well, it is pretty realistic.

I like the idea. ;D

But for this to be complete nades have to expload when shot.

I don't like the idea at all for the M79 or Law, and even less for the chainsaw, but for the Flamer it would be pretty cool.

Theres a topic about this is the weapon balance forum.


I love this idea, but you need some kind of...random..ness....generator to randomly pic what file to use to show someone die.

maybe if this could be an option in realistic mode, it would make it cooler when you die of using the law and etc.

Would work cool if you kill a guy with minigun, and as he dies the gun keeps shootin, it would create a explosion of bullets. i dont know, im jus freeballin(whatever the heck that means..)
