In Response To: Re: Headhunters #2 posted (Hyokin) : The video pulled me out when I watched what I assumed to be a Beam Rifle : firing Carbine-sounding Blamite. =\ Hmm, yeah there's a pink flash with at least one of the shots, that must've been why I thought it sounded like a needle rifle-- I'd also like to point out another shot soon after doesn't have a flash obscuring it and it doesn't look like a shot from a beam rifle, carbine, or needle rifle, it looks more like a plasma round. The point about the shield indicator is good too, and there's no beeping either-- the first-person shot lends intimacy and makes the surprise more palpable and visceral but it could've also had an "oh yeah, I've been there, bad times" element to it, reminding the viewer of when they've been hit with an energy sword-- yeah it's a minor assistance, but it's a slightly less minor loss, and definitely in keeping with the theme of being careless-- they knew a lot of viewers would be very familiar with the HUD, and messing up something so basic is... pretty bad.
