No respect for the dead
« on: December 21, 2009, 01:07:44 pm »

I've been noticing that if one of my liberals martyrs himself for the cause, the conservative swine don't respect his sacrifice. As the squad caries him back, he can still be attacked! Has anyone else seen this?

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Well, the game DOES explicitly say it was an accident, you know how religious those CCS are...

speaking of that. What is the rationale behind carrying around corpses of your comrades?

We failed to protect them when they were alive.
So we must protect whats left of them.

I need to get them back to the safehouse so I can recycle their clothes and pry their guns out of their cold, dead hands.

Liberals are big on recycling you know.  Thats why we insist all fallen liberals are returned to the earth in the purest way possible.  Or, thrown in the dumpster behind the homeless shelter, that works too. ;D

Imagine a lone liberal running from a police station with his best friend in his arms...
And then a Death Squad Officer unloads 30 5.56x45mm NATO rounds into it.

Really, I don't get why you should lug back the corpse. Besides taking back the stuff they have.

Maybe the game should give you message informing you of a juice bonus for getting your friends' bodies back in one piece. Or maybe you should have a chance of reviving them if they're not *too* dead. Or maybe they should leave corpses, and instead drag incapacitated (very badly wounded or near death) Liberals. One way or another, there's something heroic about dragging your shot up buddy out of the place, so I wouldn't want to just cut it.

Harvest their organs to undo permanent injuries on other liberals.

Eventually you could end up with a liberal consisting entirely of spare parts!

^ I like that...

@Jonathon, if you can drag badly wounded/near death liberals, that would change a lot of things.  What would be the point since they can still walk around with the squad...  You can change it so they become incapacitated, but what happens when you don't have enough people to carry?  If everyone dies or becomes incapacitated?

Possibility of reviving/juice gain is fine and dandy, but you still automatically pick up a dead liberal.  No choice about it.  Its like an incentive... to not do anything different since you would have automatically done it anyways.

i think that if a liberal dies on site there could be a chance that a high first aid liberal could revive him/her

Nah, field first aid is all well and good but its not about saving people, its about keeping people alive a little longer so that they can be patched up later by a proper doctor. Also, dead is dead. doing CPR for a bullet wound to the head wouldn't help much now would it.

Anyway, what would happen if you did revive him, I mean most liberals are pretty tough in this game, when they die I wouldn't think there's much left to revive in most cases, you can only lose so much blood.

This isn't Liberal Street Surgeon. Its Liberal Crime Squad.

Most likely the liberal will be long dead before he can get Medical Attention.

Besides, how do you revive a guy who has like, 30 bullet holes in him?

Yeah, I don't see anybody coming back from any of the deathblows in LCS. Maybe if they bled out from wounds to their extremities.
