This would be cool:

A death notification sound.

Like the hit notification noise, but it fires when you actually frag someone.

I'm finding in some games, it's hard to tell when I've killed someone. Often I'll be fleeing from a fight and leave my usual trail of ordinance behind, but only notice later that I've scored a frag on it.

I think the feedback in Quake 3 was hearing your opponent make a fairly clear 'I am dead' squeal (keel's was fucking hilarious). Mebbe I'm just not tuned to Quake 4's death throes yet.

As for the sound and what it should be. The best I've come up with is a duck quack (BWAAA). :icon32:

It would have been so much easier for Q4 to include text that says ' you fragged..'
You know, just like that game called quake3.

I vote for a horse whinny (sp?) as the death sound. I think that would be hillarious lolz.

Well ok, maybe not in DM or other modes, but in 1v1 when I'm speccing players it doesn't say when one player fragged the other, just the score changes. I can't remember if it says 'you fragged ..' when I'm actualy playing 1v1, mostly because I never frag anyone

Besides, if Foo runs away and then realises later he fragged someone, and I quote... "I'm finding in some games, it's hard to tell when I've killed someone. Often I'll be fleeing from a fight and leave my usual trail of ordinance behind, but only notice later that I've scored a frag on it." ..

why wouldn't that show on screen as ' foo fragged noob1'?

I pride myself on running like a coward, yet laying down an unholy powerful weapon spread in my wake. I usually mix it up with grabbing some small health item, then completely reversing and bounding out through a hail of my own rockets

Doesn't *just* get newbs

I remember that.

I'm pretty sure it's the post where I pledged to gift all the T&T mods with millions of my hard earned monies.
But it's gone now, never to return
