Smell the iron in the air? See the red paint job on walls and ceilings dripping down?
For a while people have been begging for lots of blood and gore to be a part of The Crucible's otherwise lovely aesthetical appeal, and Runestorm might just have heard our prayers. This is another thing to add to the list of things where UDK Crucible will be superior to its slightly older brother who is a prisoner of UT3; lots and lots of delicious and...well...gory gore.
But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, here is a quote of BlackEagle's post:

Greetings all, i come with bloody news!.. 
Progress with The Crucible for UDK is going well, several things have been improved, and it's becoming more complete..
It comes with a little surprise now, one i think you will all love..
And i've taken some time to put gore into the game, with the help of SB, who made the textures..
So now the Crucible will not have to be an outsider to the blood filled gore of BW..
Here is a run down:

Spatter Decals:
Drag Marks:
Pools:
Body Surface Impact Marks:
Dismemberment upon, and AFTER DEATH!, THATS RIGHT, dismember their corpses!..
Effects on Dead Bodies(Decals, Particles, Dismemberment):
Stumps(Meshes Pending):
Explosion Blood:
Variable Blood Density by Distance:
Optional Particles where decals appear, allowing ceiling drips(Pending Particles):
Running Blood on walls(Pending materials):
Damagetype Specific(Shotguns have different effects):
Body Part Dismemberment strength:
Dissolving blood decals:
Hours of Gore filled fun:

As you can see, this is going to be bloody awesome. Even BW's bloody Bloody Hell doesn't stand a chance, even if we killed Al Gore over and over again with it. Aaaanyway, enough with those bloody gore puns. This goes to show how much of a difference a better engine makes, Runestorm can do what they previously could only dream about, and now we are seeing the offspring of their hard work in the form of screenshots, and later the game itself.
If you want to tell Runestorm how awesome they are, be sure to join our forums and voice your opinion here:
