<div class="IPBDescription">What do you think of the current one?</div> I didn't find any topics about this one so the issue must be pretty old or I'm using wrong keywords.
What do you think about the victory text in 1.xx (I've understood the same text is still in 1.1)? Is it enough for you to hear after one and a half hour of intense fighting, sweating as a gorge and sacrificing your blood for the team the same old: "Team 2 has won blah blah". 4 seconds and your victory is gone. NSPlayer and Imanewbie ask which team won. All your built WOLs, the huge amount of RTs you've managed to set up and the healing outposts near hives are taken away and you are cruelly kicked into the readyroom. Should there be a more pompous music, text and possibly a graphics display? Picture this:
---
*A picture of a half-eaten marine with his heavy armor scretched apart and blood all over the walls is shown*
*Music like in Aliens (1,2,3...) is played*
Text appears:
"The kharaa have obliterated the humans. The humans try to make their last desperate stand in the space station/ship, but are quickly torn apart and eaten by the bloodthirsty kharaa. The horrible screams still echo in the hallways as the kharaa advance forward towards planet Earth"
---
Or do you think there shouldn't be any "reward" in the end?
Thank you for your comments!

Half the the time I never even see it or hear the music and have to check that i didn't accidently hit F4.
Plus in long stalemated maps, the game suddenly ends due to an imbalance and no one knows who won.
Even a fade-to-black would work, with some kind of speech sample to let people know what happened - a marine voice over the radio, saying 'Good work men, we're going home' or some long heavily-reverbed alien scream. It's a bit of a let-down to play a game and have to ask people who won when the next starts
And a bigger victory message!!
Marines Lose:
Screen fade to black, music is played, then fades up to a closeup shot of a fade, an alien hive behind it, and possibly a sulk somewhere else. Nothing too bloody.... just a really kewl alien picture *make sure the background "room" looks infested too*
Aliens Lose:
Screen fades yet again, only this time, it's a picture of a JP, a HA, and a few other marines, all standing infront of the com chair.... if you want, you could throw in a dead sulk or 2.. but again, nothing bloddy
Either way, at the bottom, in nice bold letters, it says who won... "The Kharra have won." or "The TSA is Victoriuos!"
Now, just add some sweet victory/loss music.. and I'd be more than happy
it be nice to see stats maybe in a txt file or something. i personally think it be cool is the losing team would have to watch the other team celebrate like in unreal tournament/2003 ... i think it would be great
"The Marines won the round."
"The Aliens were victorious."
Something simple.
but something in the style of S&I would also be nice....
<insert team here> = T3H W1NN4R5!!!11!1oneone!
I changed my titles.txt(and posted it up a long time ago) so it says:
Kharaa has won! Abandoning ship/station...
and
The TSA has won! Cleaning up infestation...
, and several out-of-date tidbits in it.
If you want it... Download from attachment, and put it in your Half-Life\ns dir.
You might want to backup your old one.

(... Who's that Pege guy?)
I was just wondering...if the Kharaa have one how can the marines abandon the ship/station? They are all dead!
Or perhaps simply make the pictures a texture and then create a small room somewhere where the wall is textured with it, then shift your view to that room when you win/lose?
There is a mod called Poke464 that has plenty of them. HL shouldn't have much trouble.

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha
I think anything would be better than now...I have to drop the console down to find out right now...You know, unless I'm the last one to die, or there's like 10 oni in the spawn.
