v1.7.3 Bleed Effect is Impairing and Detrimental to gameplay

[dcm]

By having the whole screen flash grey; that makes it impossible to fight back in a tense situation. The filter/effect covers up the corners of the screen, making it impossible to scroll wheel select the bandage(some of us have our number keys rebound for other purposes). I'd much prefer the older less intrusive bleed effect, because then you could at least manage it better.

That's some stupid ass design. It's an impediment. An obstruction. You are only making your game worse. Whatever you are trying to achieve with this current bleed effect is accomplishing nothing but frustration. The old effect was much better, less intrusive and still allowed a chance to retain your bearings.

I think that was the point to make you pissed because you can't see because you're dying.

AKA:
Encourage wounded players to seek medical attention rather than going in guns blazing with less than half of their health left.

The gray screen bleed effect is too debilitating. It's not just that you cant see. It's that you cant do anything to mitigate the bleed effect in a timely and efficient manner, even when out of a dangerous situation. Half the time I dont know if I have a bandage, a watercan IED or a grenade in my hand.

I think the million dollar question that everyone here is asking: do you know where your Squad's medic is? Do they know where you are?

If I'm bleeding out and the medic is either preoccupied with my squad mates or on his way to me. The last thing I wanna do is accidentally pull a grenade or shoot a friendly when trying to stem the bleed.

Its not that bad although the wheel stuff is a super valid point

If you don't have your patch on a key-bind that is easily accessible in a tense situation, that's on you. Don't use the scroll wheel to select equipment unless you want to be slow.

I'm not sure if you've ever watched real combat footage, but when people are getting shot/shot at, have explosions going off rattling them, there's no way in hell they are gonna "retain their bearings." I understand PR is a video game, but its a video game designed around realism and teamwork. When people get shot at, they don't return perfectly accurate fire. They run or hide, then get a hold on their bearings, and then return fire.

All of that being said, you haven't really given a good solution to your issue other than reverting it back. Which lets be honest, it was way too easy to shoot thru suppression and bleeding effects before.

The dev's should just bring back the old black and white effect when you are 25% or below like the old days.
