    Default Blood pack on game release

    We need it on game release, not months later when people are half way through their campaign. There needs to be some detail now about it from CA! now.

    Will we be getting a blood DLC pack like shogun for Rome 2 ? for the mature players.

    If we get it after release it will spoil a lot of people first impressions.

    Why aren't we killing yet?! Where is the blood I was promised?! Blood! I ache for the taste of blood! Why are we out here when we can be in the thick of slaughter?!

    Anyone else read this and think of the Rome 1 speech, "I want to see blood. I want to bathe in their blood. I want to bathe in their blood for a week. Now Kill them all!" Still disappointed that there are no longer speeches, but understand there is still only so much room allotted and between the strings and audio for them the space was used on other things. I'm not worried about a blood DLC pack. Didn't need it for Rome 1 or Medieval 2. Wasn't really necessary for Empire or Napoleon. Was a nice addition, if not a bit campy for Shogun.

    They won't add it on release for the simple fact that the game then needs an 18+ rating.
    I'm guessing we might see it in a future DLC though, or even a mod from the community.

    I mean the DLC should be available on release day, for those who want it.

    I read on the forums the grey puffs we see after javelin throws are placeholders for blood splatter.

    And I thought I was being clever going to do that in a mod

    THis is my thought too.


    But in generall, the game will be fun even without blood, and we don´t NEED it on release day, you maybe, but not the entire Rome 2 gamer comunitiy

    So, it'll be overdone again then ?
    Personally, although I hope there will be a blood pack at some point, I also hope they realise that less is more and make one without absurd 3m blood sprays. And none on the screen of course, that was rubbish.

    I don't think so, they still look like dust clouds, making them red and pretend that it's blood would just be silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly silly...

    Since when does blood instantly evaporate as soon as it makes contact with the air?

    If you've seen Alexander the movie in Battle of Gaugmela scene near the end you can see big blood sprays in the battle. maybe this is what it is perhaps? I dunno...

    I think it's conceivable that announcing a blood pack dlc beforehand might get CA in trouble with the rating even if it isn't part of the main game, since it might be seen (correctly) as trying to circumvent a stricter rating.

    The grey puffs appear in the naval battle footage and there's not much dust in the middle of the Baltic

    Blood and heads rolling pack would be m18+ or R

    The normal game can still be PG or whatever it is, I don't see how this could become a problem.
