Title: A good idea
Post by: macleod01 on January 31, 2007, 07:50:08 AM

Maybe its just me and my computer, but my wish would be for when I get vultched (I dont WANT to be vultched, but it happens) I would only hear the pings of bullets while im alive. Soooo many times have I been vultched and Im still hearing the pings around me when im sitting in the tower! I keep getting 'hit' untill I go to the hanger! Would really appreaciate it not being rubbed in that im dead

I think this feature was added because of people claiming "You never hit me!" or "WTF? One ping and I am dead? BS!". So you are back and the tower and know that you were hit by much more than just a single bullet.

Well, even only continuing for like 2 seconds would be plenty. Not 10 until I get to the hanger

Also, while the pings are continuing, if you re-spawn your plane is damaged. Believe me, I tried it.

It's an intentional feature by Hitech. He's said it's there because if all the sounds play at the *same time* you only hear a single short, single, ping, and you're dead. This way he plays them sequentially to let you know you got the watermelon blown out of you. Also, they will play longer if it's laggier, I've noticed. Just wait them out, then try again (at a different field)
