Although I must say that in Borderlands I only noticed that the other barrels exploded when one of them exploded due to collateral damage (a missed bullet or a grenade on the wrong spot). The red ones I assumed right away that they exploded.

That article is all bs. red barrels are red because red a colour associated with DANGER!
Why make a barrel any other colour?
And another thing i dont get is that people ignored the green barrels? That has to be lies because if i was playing a new game and i saw a barrel that was green id be like wow i wonder what happens if i shoot it!

you're right, but...mjc0961 said:
can't I play smartass at least once? =P
but yeah, I always noticed the green thing on them, rather than the actual barrels, for some reason
I got to say it, does anyone really care? I mean sure red exploding barrels are cleashey. but you know whats more cleashey, exploding barrels. The fact there red is just cos red equals danger...its like if they exploded and where green I'd expect them to be poison, its just the way colours read.
My thoughts exactly. Or rather the barrels were of a metal colour but they were filled with green toxic waste that exploded when fired upon.Fronzel said:
Yeah, stupid clichés! Either do this:
make the barrels grow legs & arms and then run at you with a knife!

Silly developers. Barrel color doesn't matter. Quake 2 had gray barrels, we all expected them to explode.
Simple rule: Barrels explode, crates don't.

"We made a stab at trying something different, instead of going with the cliché."
The ironic thing here is that we're talking about exploding barrels, itself a video game cliche (one of the oldest). If they really wanted to try something different, they would have barrels that don't explode. Or, heaven forbid, no barrels at all.

You're right, the dark gray ones with yellow trim (iirc), completely forgot.SupahGamuh said:
Well damn.... what the hell doesn't explode then.
Brown barrels. The brown barrels in Half-Life 2 just bounce off what you throw them at, because they're filled with... poo?mindlesspuppet said:
But to address the topic, it's a wheel that wouldn't be appriciated if it were re-invented. Split/Second had the red barrels explode (more violently); it's what you expect.
