<div class="IPBDescription">Comm Command: Smack 'em</div> Nothing frustrates an overworked commander more than a marine. Aliens be damned - the marines are so needy! Always needing this, needing that. If they ever even bother to use the word 'please' it needs to be accompanied by a 'NEED!' and 'NOW!' and "HERE!'. No respect, none at all!

Therefore, I propose a new commander command be added: The Smack. When a marine needs his diaper changed and won't shut up about it, yet you're busy saving the day by doing things that are much more useful, you can backhand that whiny brat right in the kisser just so he knows how much you think of him.

It'd be a thing of beauty. Picture this: some rambo marine, off in the corner alone, spamming the radio for health and ammo so that he can chase more useless kills. You've been telling him to shut his little mouth all day until he learns to be a team player, but he just doesn't get it. A wayward skulk is crouching in the shadows above him, ready to strike... suddenly...

Marine: "Medpack!"

The alien knows that this will be an easy meal... it tenses it's tiny legs to spring, aaaand...

... A GIANT HAND COMES OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAM! The marine falls to the ground, stunned. The skulk, confused, walks over to the dazed marine and takes a tentative nibble. The marine, not even aware that he is being eaten, now realizes what a major pain in the butt he has been.

...

Okay, maybe I'm not serious. But I know many commanders that would *love* this. I know I would.

    Heh, I like it.

    Maybe even have one of those for a newb gorg, but instead of a hand its a bunch of angry babblers. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Uh, no. Part of being a good commander is winning the trust and cooperation of your team. This would lead to more problems with inept commander's going slap-happy rather than fixing issues of lame marines. The net result won't be good.

    *LOL* Smacking all marines down along with recycling all structures...that's one evil (or totally outraged) commander.

    cool they should add it in then I can go slap happy at the marine instead of playing the game *sighs*

    maybe, the comm could smack them so hard in such a way that they fly through the air and land ontop of a hive and start killing it...

    hehe...

    But if we add this slap feature then we need a feature to drop a live chicken on the marine, and the marine can eat it! and...when the marine gets slapped, he should run faster and build faster, even though he'll take 5 damage!

    hey, that's dungeon keeper <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    but the chickens should be space-food or $cash$ (much more rewarding <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
    and the giant hand should be a satalite ion cannon to frie the marine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    maybe the comm could drop chickens on top of the hive which peck it to death
  • Lee_HarveyLee_Harvey Join Date: 2002-12-23 Member: 11448Members
    And they wouldn't even need a new model for the chicken!

    It would be more fun if the comm could just turn people into chickens. And they would do mad-style melee damage like in CS chicken-mod. And they would squawk and turn into chicken McNuggets and give aliens health back for killing them.

    That, or, yeah, no No NO!.......

    Yet another joke of an idea turned into a worthless joke thread...

    If you couldn't tell, I was joking. I even had a little disclaimer at the bottom =P

    Problem about jokes in I&S - so much incredible stuff (and I don't mean that in the positive sense of the word) are being submitted earnestly that nobody can distinguish between them and the funny stuff.

    It would be so easy to add this... lol

    Tho it would prolly be abused. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How about if instead of being slapped, the marine gets court-martialed? Like the "jail" in the America's Army game...

    Then they quit/restart and the point is lost, alas. Same thing happens in AA IIRC.

    It would br funny though. Only have it when sv_cheats 1 that way it would be just another funny thing to do to have a command smack "player" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
