Probably change the explosion debris. Blood and muzzleflashes will most definatly remain sprites. Unless they use the CS style of particles, small blood sprites that fly out of people when you hit them.

they also changed the affect of the enviorment when u shoot it, like if u shoot sand in the beach, u will see sand and stuff shoot up

Check the FAQ in general department, you will find you answers there.

Let's just say smoke, fire, muzzle smoke, debris, explosions, rain, snow, and pretty much all the effects will look better thanks to the particle system.

Mainly the smoke and weather effects and debris. No longer are they flat 2D blocks of moving textures or sprites, but now actual 3D 'particles' of objects.

I bet it's configurable.

Well, the FA particle system is very, very good. And the DoD team, in my very humble opinion, has superior skills compared to that of the FA team. Thus, somehow it'll look really damn cool.

bloody FA, what a shame...that could have been a good mod. I hate when FPS's are ruind because of cartoon gun dmg. uh-oh i sprayed you with 12 mp5 bullets and they all hit u but im out of ammo and ur still alive, better run. how gays is that...thank god 1 pistol shot to the head kills someone in dod...i shot someone in the eye with a usp in cs and it did like 50 damage...well thank god for dod, im really satisfied with the dmg system, except for the 98k, but allies will get the enfield soon, so its all good

Ive already seen what this particle system can do. there is another mod thats coming out called "Hostile Intent" and they have videos of it In-Game. and included in these videos are the new particle system.

i saw how snow works and lemme tell you... holy s****in ****:eek:

its amazing. the snow falls contrast to the environment. like there was a hole in the ceiling, and the snow floated down in side the hole, into the buliding. Rain actually looks like rain. and i think weve all seen what the new bullet part of the particle system does now...

shoot sand, and sand will fly up. shoot grass, dirt or rock, and you get the same results.
