?? :eek: No one else finds that strange? What's the point of shooting at the sharks? Just for target practice? Kind of inhumane.

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

Probably done before they were considered "protected" as a species.

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

This is what I thing,

must: Its well cr*p with out it.
need: the game feels empty with out it but still a geat game
bonus: very nice to have it but don't care if it dosent have it.

war games need blood & gore to feel non arcade but its got to be realistic, what I mean is when you shoot some one and theres a thick blood sprite in front of him where you shot him is not realistic in any way. Gore has got to have body impacts[flesh wounds;) ] thats a must! As for arms/legs/head and bits flying off thats not a must its a bonus, lol. blood stanes on the ground/rocks/vehicles/buildings/objects/etc: its a need. blood mist which is a light transprant sprite is a need. When your walking around a battle ground you don't see clean walls/babwire/bodies/ground/objects/vehicles you see bodies with flesh wounds covered in blood vehicles with smashed windows blood everywhere and dead bodies in side them blood splashed up walls and on crates & boxs etc: bloody babwire. lol, thats not a cus:uhm: .

Not only inhumane but full of shite.

What tales of chum-dookie is your friend telling you?

First of all; when it's time to dump trash they get every available deck-hand they can muster; starting with Seaman Apprentice and going up as needed. I assure you people are not sitting around with weapons ready to take out sharks.

It's a pretty big deal by all involved when weapons and ammo come out to play; there's no way their sitting around during trash dump time locked and loaded.

One thing I can't be sure of is whether or not sharks appear during trash-dumping time at all. If and when this 'event of sharks appearing' took place the ship is always going at a good clip as they dump it, so even if sharks appeared (which I have never witnessed and I've been in the Aluetian and South Pacific) during trash time they'd be long past the trash.

Your friend is feeding you some fast ones.

Those military men have alot of time on there hands to do useless crap and pranks ive seen it videos of crap like that in Irag and Afghanistan and it probably happen at sea. I dont think they kill sharks all the time and it seems like every one in these threads are war mongers and know it alls its sort of pathetic that smart people like yourself game it so hard.

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

I'm the farthest from a know it all sorts 'Keyboard Muscles'; I'm speaking purely on experience and not some video I watched. I never profess to speak the gospel; only what I know.

That being said, someone crap in your cereal this morning or are you just here to make friends?

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

No, idea if he's bs'ing me-- I've known the guy for about 15 years and he's not a big bullshitter, but I wasn't in the Navy back in the mid 80's, and more particularly, I wasn't on that particular ship at that particular moment, so no idea. I think IF it happened it was a one time occurence -- I don't know. What I do know is that I have seen a lot of things in my time that weren't "by the book." My family is a military family and we have plenty of stories where things weren't "by the book." My friend Greg told me about this sometime ago, so I'm hazy on the details. I think he said they had some old 50 ammo aboard and someone made the decision to fire it off. Kind of presumptuous to say something never happened though.

As far as being cruel, yeah, I wouldn't be blasting sharks for the hell of it.

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

Too true Ace. Too ture.

At that given moment? Who knows what happen's right? Again; I've 'been there - done that' and was speaking from experience. Not being there, on that ship, at that time is a fact, although I find it a bizarre tale. Maybe there's more detail or mitigating circumstances to it than we know?

One things for certain; why kill sharks for the fun of it. :(

Re: Blood in FH2?
 

Yeah, this is off topic, but we think of sharks as fearsome killers, but on average, I think they kill 30 people a year worldwide, and we kill millions of them. Kind of puts it in perspective.

Don't we just all love political correctness!?!

Soldier do what soldiers can do. They are just like us with a bigger opportunity to have fun with neater toys. A good CO would turn his head if a few shennanigans raised the morale of his crew.

I knew a sailor who turned the gain up on an ECM radar, knowing full well that it would blow out Joe Civilian's radar on his fishing boat. Oohhpps!!

Of course it's not right but that stuff happens.
