more gore/dismemberment?

[rodeo]

Ive seen a few threads on this from way back but was curious if there was any plan to add more gore/dismemberment? It would add a lot to the authenticity and immersion of the game. Something along the lines of how the old brothers in arms games (which ER2 seems to be heavily inspired from at times) did this would be a perfect start.

You're kidding right? It's a war game, war is violent and should be depicted as such.
Luckily, for people like you there is an option to disable gore.

smh. Some of us are grownups and won't get offended by virtual gore.

Having been in a war, there is no way a game could ever do it realistically and therefore it would just be a waste of computing power so armchair commandos can get their kicks.
Gore-wise, the game is good enough. I'd rather see better maps, two AI squads that in addition to yours can be given commands (have a proper 3 squad platoon) and a way to throw grenades around corners .

i remember a bug that made some dead soldiers have their heads invisible i thought it was adding to realism even as a bug. in my opinion this game has only gotten better and more realistic over time im open to anything the developer would want to add himself

@Jptenn, I've been deployed twice myself and I agree,
I second the grenades suggestion as well.

I have also been to war, I agree that nothing could realistically depict the carnage that can come from it. But when I see a NPC take a panzerfaust to the face and he just ragdolls away, it ruins the immersion for me knowing what that would actually do. But to your point on the squads and grenades, I do think that is a solid idea.

This game has so many great touches... troops surrendering. ability to execute prisoners, ability to "liberate" your troops... dying on ground animations (shoot to put out of misery)... ability to pull injured comrades to cover... what would set this game over the top would be to add women and children and livestock NPCs to the chaos of battle. Sure it would be very controversial, but the first developer to do this will make some serious $$$ off of "bad" (free) promotion/marketing.

This is where all war games fall short. But it is the reality of war.

I wouldn't mind having civilian considerations to think of while playing, Modern Warfare 2019 did that and some other war games had that too and it does make things feel more alive and authentic. But children would be too much, I want this game to stay around, not get banned.

it could be a mod. nothing would put the dev in trouble for that.
