armor values displayed like in original doom

<< < (2/3) > >>

oops i forgot about the DR numbers, my head hasnt quite recovered from yesterday yet :P, so i guess that my original would be screwing up the system a bit..
still think the armors could have some cooler names :), even tho green/blue it whats used when 'talking doom'

While I basically agree (the meaning of green/blue/red is Doom specific and cryptic to people who are new to Doom) I still think it's better to stick to the Doom way for obvious reason :)
I also think most people got the three armor types memorized after 3 or 4 games and the game also always shows the resistance value when you 'l'ook at an armor or step on it.

Adral:
Since there are no "magic" or special armors, I think we're better off with these names to keep the spirit. Another thing would be if there were millions of possible combinations of armors, because having a "dark brown armor with red stripes and silver dots of demon protection" would make our eyes bleed. Also, as DaEezt said, after a few games you've pretty much gotten the hang on armor values. Your proposed numbers would just not be so meaningful at a simple glance.

well, since Kornel just hinted there might be :D, and the red armor (& other items) is made up anyway i dont see how its that much big of a deal. using security and combat armor would be keeping the spirit just the same imo..
and that brown armor you're describing sure would make our eyes bleed, i dont see how it relates to my post tho.

and if you had read the whole thread, you'd seen that i already had come to the same conclusion
