Civilian Density...where are my civilians?

[GDog]

Am I missing somthing here, do we actually get to see civilians running around getting in the way of bullets?

Im wokring on a my next scenario and I don't see any civilians during play testing?

I want collateral damage......

Meaning I have to imagine my collateral damage right?

Don't you think it would be fun to watch civilians scatter after an artillery strike?

Hi GDog

The civillian density just makes IDing 'uncons', VBIEDs etc that bit more difficult. You imagine the FPS if we had throngs of civillians running about!

Cheers fur noo

Would be very realistic though. But the number of ? marks would be massive.

Only if BFC knew how to model civilian behavior. Which means they'd have to cover the various motivations civvies might have for being in a hot battlefield, instead of seeking shelter or having already fled the city. It's a ludicrously hard problem for unclear gain.
