The 'reimagined' blood and gore effects shown on the game's official website are truly abhorrent :(
My interest has been continually been drawn to team-based first-person shooter games (like Counter Strike) for their potential in terms of strategy, tactics and team coordination, but the gore is enough to put me off most titles immediately. I can see that some effects like blood stains can form part of the games' mechanics, indicating the direction from which a shot came, but what if one simply does not want to see these graphics? CS:GO doesn't even have an setting to disable them, and this is not unusual in the genre - I hope this sequel adds such an option.
