Blood II: The Chosen is a First-Person Shooter game from the Blood series, developed by Monolith Productions and released in 1998. It's the sequel for Blood (1997), and it runs on the LithTech engine, developed in-house by Monolith. The game and its expansions can be purchased digitally from GOG.com and Steam.The game takes place exactly one century after the first game, featuring the Cabal's attempts to kill Caleb and take back the powers of Tchernobog, while Caleb's disuse of the dark god's powers accidentally summons abominations from another dimension.Unfortunately, due to being rushed out the door, it released in a very poor state, and though it does have a following (including a very active modding community), it's rarely considered on par with the first. Plus, it had the unfortunate luck of being released in 1998, a year with many strong contenders to Best Shooter of the Decade, such as Unreal, SiN, Quake II and the eventual winner, Half-Life. | |

Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_10c393f5 | comment |
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Zig-zagged. The Die Bug Die bug spray is short-ranged, slow-firing and all around worthless, only serving to check how much spray ammo you have for the assault rifle's Grenade Launcher secondary - a function which itself was rendered unnecessary in a patch that added a second ammo counter for your spray ammo when you have the assault rifle equipped. The napalm launcher got nerfed, only toting the largest Splash Damage radius in the game to its favor. | |

Muzzle Flashlight | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_12f9804c | comment |
Muzzle Flashlight: Bullet-based weapons emit a big circle of orange-ish light when fired, while others produce much more negligible but still useful flashes. Firing in the Air a Lot with the assault rifle is a passable way of going through a very dark section if your Ten-Second Flashlight runs out. Thanks to the lighting mechanics of the LithTech engine, a flare makes for a fairly decent light source until it burns out, either on impact with a solid surface or after a while on an enemy. Said enemy can work as a living, moving lantern if you can get it to follow you, assuming the randomized damage values don't cause it to die as soon as the flare touches it. | |

Just Train Wrong | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_1fb947b6 | comment |
Just Train Wrong: The subway trains. The crowner is one train running right after another with just a two meter gap. That would spell disaster in real life once the front train would began braking - as the game perfectly demonstrates the other two times it reuses the subway map, both of which end with your train crashing into the one ahead of it. | |

Apathetic Citizens: The civilians often don't react to the horrific things going on around them (including half a corpse sticking out of a public washing machine) as strongly as you think they would. The manual and guidebook suggest that they've learned helplessness in regards to CabalCo.'s takeover. | |

Difficulty Levels: It has more standard difficulty levels that primarily place more enemies and let them deal higher damage; the only noticeable difference is that your maximum health is also determined by difficulty, with the easiest allowing for 200 normal health and the hardest dropping you to just 50. | |

Cut-and-Paste Environments | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_3273ebb9 | comment |
Cut and Paste Environments: The game goes all out with this, with three out of four chapters reusing an individual level three separate times. The subway train is perhaps the laziest, used as the first level of the game and then reused as the first and antepenultimate levels of the second chapter, two of which even play out identically (Caleb murders everyone and gets to the front just in time for the train to crash into another one), the only differences being in enemy types (only Cultists the first time, adding Fanatics and Drudge Lords the second and a single Prophet at the end of the third). The other two are the result of trying to emulate a Hub Level-style system without actually having hub levels: chapter 1 has you traverse an urban area just off of some tenements three times (exiting each time respectively by heading to a museum, going down an elevator into the sewers, and heading for a condemned church), where the first time through includes level-exit triggers for later visits - it's possible to noclip through the vents at the back of the laundromat and skip straight from the second level of the chapter to the end. Chapter 3 likewise has you traversing part of the CabalCo offices three times, sidetracking twice to circumvent locked doors by turning off their power and grabbing a keycard before you reach an elevator that takes you where you need to go). | |

Embarrassing Old Photo: Ophelia's segment of The Nightmare Levels has her tracking down an album of these in order to symbolically destroy her past as (gasp! horror!) a sorority girl. In the present, she asks Gabby and Ishmael not to tell Caleb about this, as she thinks he'd "never forgive [her]"... so, of course, Caleb unexpectedly drops in at the end of her recollection (somehow) and light-heartedly teases her about it. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: The Night-Vision Goggles paint enemies in a nice bright green hue, but they paint all of the surroundings with a dark green that, in a game where it's already dark and hard to see, makes it damn near impossible to see anything. Even worse is that this is still an upgrade over the Beast Vision glasses from the original game. It's more of a tool for taking out nuisance enemies in an environment where they're difficult to see than it is an actual navigation tool. | |

Limited Loadout | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_5ed1b6d3 | comment |
Limited Loadout: A unique downplayed example: when you're fully kitted out there's one weapon assigned to all ten number keys, but every gun you pick up is assigned to a number key in the order you pick those guns up in rather than predetermined slots, except for the knife (which always gets slot 1) and the various bombs (which are counted as inventory items). This means you're eventually going to start dropping weapons to pick up later weapons, since there are about twice as many guns as there are slots for them, and you can keep weapons in the slots that are most convenient to you for quick access. | |

Shockwave Stomp | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_69f4d99b | comment |
The Life Leech is a bit of a mixed bag. You have a lot more control over the length of the bursts and can even fire it automatically, it uses Focus (the same recharging "mana" pool the Orb and the Voodoo Doll feed off of) instead of the finite and rare Trapped Souls, and it doesn't hurt you if you run out of juice. On the other hand, the "turret" secondary fire is gone and replaced by a fairly useless Shockwave Stomp that costs all of Caleb's Focus and doesn't drain health from the people you hit with it, the projectiles are a lot weaker, slower and curve in weird ways that ruin any accuracy past close range, and to top it off, the firing animation isn't nearly as visually impressive. It's good utility if you're low on health and faced with melee-only enemies, but doesn't compare to the arsenal you're most likely used to by the time you get it near the end of the game. | |

Locomotive Level: C1L1, C2L1, and C2L7 all take place on subway trains. The first two end with the train in question crashing into another one and derailing, while the third has you jump from one train to another one right ahead of it before stopping it safely. | |

Standard FPS Guns | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba | comment |
Standard FPS Guns: Also subverted. It pads out the armory of Blood (1997) with a normal 9mm pistol, multiple varieties of bullet hoses (smaller machine pistols that can be paired up up through an assault rifle with underslung Grenade Launcher and then a multi-barreled monstrosity), and a sniper rifle, but otherwise keeps most of the bizarre weapons of the first game, or replaces them with equally-odd new ones, like a pesticide sprayer with a Zippo lighter attached to make it into an impromptu flamethrower. Even better, it doesn't have assigned weapon slots, so you can customize your loadout by dropping weapons you don't want or need. | |

Sawed-Off Shotgun | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_bffb777a | comment |
The Sawed-Off Shotgun lost all of its accuracy, fires and reloads more slowly, and requires a reload after every two shells even when paired up. As a mild compensation, it can be dual-wielded at will without a power-up, and though ammo is less common overall (particularly all but disappearing in the third chapter), Caleb's cap for it was increased by 50 shells. Extra Crispy allows you to use the double-barrel discharge with dual shotguns. | |

Boom, Headshot!: Headshots exist as a mechanic, but it's janky as hell. Sometimes you can 3-shot a human with a Beretta and he'll die before a single flinch, others you might as well be hitting them in the legs, and still others you actually can hit them in the legs and they'll die instantly. | |

Spread Shot | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
The flare gun doesn't deal a continuous stream of damage; instead, it does so per tics. Alt-fire is completely useless, too, due to a bug which prevents it from igniting enemies (so much so that it was re-tooled in the Extra Crispy mod to fire a big shotgun-like cluster of primary fire flares). However, it can be dual wielded at will, flares are more common, and weak as the projectiles are, they burn underwater now and are far better than most video-game flares at actually providing illumination. | |

They each have two weapons to switch between depending on the situation (save Ishmael, who has one weapon supported by abilities similar to a Zealot), making them fight more like the player than any other enemy in the game. | |

Speaking of melee weapon, the pitchfork has been replaced by a much weaker knife that has little to no use outside of killing Soul Drudges and civilians or breaking containers without wasting ammo - and even the latter is a crapshoot, as some very strange objects blow up in a highly-damaging fireball when you break them. | |

Hub Level | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_e7eb0474 | comment |
The other two are the result of trying to emulate a Hub Level-style system without actually having hub levels: chapter 1 has you traverse an urban area just off of some tenements three times (exiting each time respectively by heading to a museum, going down an elevator into the sewers, and heading for a condemned church), where the first time through includes level-exit triggers for later visits - it's possible to noclip through the vents at the back of the laundromat and skip straight from the second level of the chapter to the end. Chapter 3 likewise has you traversing part of the CabalCo offices three times, sidetracking twice to circumvent locked doors by turning off their power and grabbing a keycard before you reach an elevator that takes you where you need to go). | |

Fire-Breathing Weapon | |
Blood II: The Chosen (Video Game) / int_f0001923 | comment |
The Napalm Launcher is one that got shafted the hardest, going from an aversion to Video Game Flamethrowers Suck, to now being a proud example of it. In II, it has a much slower firing rate in both modes, while the fireballs are much weaker (primary fire hurts less than a double shotgun blast - at least three shots are necessary to kill a basic enemy on Suicide difficulty), painfully slow, and don't set the target on fire. In early versions it was still worth keeping around because invokeda bug refilled your ammo to full with each pickup, so it was still a spammable option, but now, after the fix that changed them to give only 10 shots per can, it's at best inventory filler. | |
