Excellent work, CTS - thankyou. I know the content isn't entirely yours, but the way you've stuck with it and continued to tweak and perfect it earns my admiration =)
A little critique; would you be able to include a system whereby people can pick and choose effects? I've considered that I might prefer the game vanilla without the new 'gunfire causes soldiers to fall over' aspect, for example. I'm happy with the system as it is, having decided that it's pretty realistic *grins* I guess I'm just oversensitive about the difficulty of the game already - I simply cannot beat the Trainyard Evacuation, and refuse to turn down the difficulty to easy.
If you're unable to provide any kind of menu or toggles, what of a text file with instructions on how to modify the effects personally?
I only wish the scarring system for vehicles and the enviroment applied to soldiers - there's something remarkably effective on a psychological level about seeing a hole in a victim. The hitman games portrayed this well. When a corpse is mutilated, it forces you to come to terms with what you're doing and forces a whole new level of emotional involvement.
Those who protest about game violence disturb me - I'd rather both adults and kids were seeing the full extent of the consequences of shooting someone, so they're less likely to try it out in real life.
