Rejected Tone down the Red Damage Filter

So this doesn't happen extremely often, but often enough for me to believe it's an issue.

In a firefight, when I'm hit and take quite a bit of damage, the red filter that you see when you take damage takes up nearly the entire screen with just a hint of transparency

This causes me to not be able to see where I'm supposed to be shooting, and has lead to death or very close calls several times

Is there a way to manually tone down this affect? If not, we should make the filter only visible on the sides and top/bottom portions of the screen, so it doesn't block your entire vision for over a second

 

Ive seen it happen to people before, but in my 1700 hours ive never had this happen to me. Lucky?

+1 Also sometimes if you're afk when u die the red filter will carry over into the next round.

 

+1 please someone help us @Opalium

 

+1. Sucks in dark areas of the map.

 

I think the issue is it varies based on how many bullets you are gettin ghit with, which makes shotguns OP. Make it consistent regardless of damage IMO.

 

Maybe add a circle surrounding the crosshair that indicates frome where are we getting shot

 

This isn't call of duty.

 

it isnt?

 

Yeah, I'm there with you. I don't know if it's a setting or something but I've never had the red screen.

Anyways, +1 for the people that have to suffer from it.

 

In my experience, this is true.
At least, I've only had a really red screen after getting blasted by a shotgun, which disoriented me a lot

+1 / (somehow?) hardcap the filter's opacity so it can't be dominant to the point that it's more or less all you see.

 

I have this occur to me couple times where it's just annoying because you are blinded by the red filter and can't always exactly see where the person is shooting you at.

so +1 if it's possible to implement a way to reduce the red filter when you are being damaged.

 

I could be wrong, but I think it has to do with damage given by a single bullet. This is why it usually happens when you are shot with a sniper that does a ton of damage with a body shot. As for shotguns, I'm pretty sure the game just counts them as a single shot regardless of the amount of pellets that hit the player. This is possibly evidenced by shot and damage logs counting shotgun shots as a single shot as well.

 

+1, I only really notice it when I'm blasted by a shotgun. Still extremely annoying tho.

 

wtf how many fps games do you play, cod isnt the only game to do that


+1 because i also made this suggestion xdddd

 

+1 or just replace the alpha texture with transparent one ;D

 

thats not how it works

 

+1 sometimes I have no idea what's happening due to this fucking thing.
Don't get rid of it entirely, just tone it down.

 

Just to show how bad it gets:

Spoiler

Just remove it from middle and its fine.

+1 so when I kill @Muffin he has no excuses
