I'm guessing it's been mentioned before, but I couldn't find any topics on this. I was wondering if a new "death screen" was on the to-do list. Right now, you pretty much instantly get thrown back into the action. And in the original game, as you know, there was the blood, it'd fade to black, then it'd tell you to "Press Start".

Not that big of a difference, but it'd be nice to have to have a short delay before you manually tell it to respawn your character. You know, to give people a chance to reflect on why I killed them.

There wont be a press start black screen, but yes a more immersive death screen is in works for beta3

there are two option right now, and it depends on the server.

If the server has mp_forcerespawn on then you don't have a choice to reflect, but you get 3 seconds to watch the blood screen and ragdoll effects.

If its off, then you can chat and whatnot and see who killed you, change your character, etc. until you press the attack button again to respawn back in.

I refuse to put in a fade to black because you should be able to see the death notices and the chat.

Is there any way to have the game fade to black, but not the text? I know Perfect Dark: Source has the fade to black/"Press any key" screen, but I don't remember if you can still see the death notices and chat or not.

How about instead of fade to black, make the blood effect more solid and make its z order behind every thing else.

just make the blood trickle down the screen like the gunbarrel in the opening sequences.

I personally hate the first one. You don't have any time to do or think anything before it throws you back in...


My views:
-Having the blood run down the screen. The red is slightly transparent so you can still see what's going on.
-Text still visible.
-Skip the black screen.


On our server, we have a nifty black and white screen thing when you're killed by someone.

Which reminds me to see if I can get that to a red tint....

But the way its in Beta3 rite now is pretty awesome, and works perfectly.

Good to hear. I mainly just didn't like instantly being thrown back into the action. Especially on an LTK server, where everyone's just constantly getting killing and respawning every half second.
