Cadavers obstructing pathways etc.

in Ideas and Suggestions
I just got thinking and was wondering when like a onos dies in a corridor or something, would that body remain there obstructing the pathway until we like knife at the dead corpse. Or lets say we kill a skulk and lands next to our feet can we kick it around. Cuz like a dead onos body blocking a pathway can become a good tactical strategy creating some time for the alien side and what not. If the dev team or anyone who knows about this can answer it id be very thankful that you did, cuz i can't stop thinking about it.

    anyone have any ideas cuz im really curious, like lets say commander wants to hold down a position, however onos decides to charge in and get killed, but now the big body is there blocking the way until it is hacked down or something, giving time to all the other alien units to counter-attack.

    I've already made a thread about that with lots of different opinions.

    But to answer your question,

    I assume there won't be collision ragdoll.

    Or instead of wasting a valuable Onos on a momentary obstruction that Onos could simply stay alive instead and block the tunnel. With the added benefit of goring to death anybody who tries to get past it. How about that?

    No, corpses are immediately recycled by the nanites/bacterium.

    That's odd, because my level of fun and and convenience (opposed to frustration) has gone way up.

    Well stop it with nanites, nanites are god, nannites cook you eggs, nanites feed your dog, nanites give you huge ######, nanites blablabla...

    If nanites where so good, the marines and their weapons wont exist and nanites just eat everything in a minute. Nanites are just a bull###### to explain what nobody can.

    But nanites can do all that. but they cant fight on the microcosmos level. Thats where the infestation comes into play.
    It overwhelmes the nanites as it creeps through the map.

    Ragdoll collisions would create some interesting stuff, but I don't know how much resoucres it's going to take to synchronize it for all the clients.

    That would be cool... Aliens are rushing some marines in the corridor and they keep on dying so they create a sort of meat wall for the other aliens to hide behind.


    Then the onos dies so you need some kinda big cutting tool to cut it in half. Haha that would be sick!

    :)

    It does KIND of make sense. A dead Onos might last a little while, certainly less than 30 seconds, while it is recycled. The recycling goop would make a ramp for aliens to walk up and over the corpse, while damaging and knocking back marines that try it.

    And the reverse. When the aliens destroy a large mobile turret, its power source would short circuit, knocking back and damaging any aliens near it. Marines have conductive armor that negates the damage and knockback for THEM, however.


    Neither would be a GOOD tactic, a large sacrifice for a fleeting effect. Just a bonus to help retreats not turn into routs.

    Wasn't that just an excuse because of engine limitations that didn't allow cadavers to last for a long time?

    I mean since it is possible now... why not add it in? Don't want to play NS1 w/ JUST better graphics do we?
