A humble ns fans "would it be cool" list

Scrap

1) Remind yourself of Quake 4 scene were you where transformed into one of the stroggs, you were helpless and couldnt move. Now wouldnt it be cool if aliens could knock down/paralize marine players. Imagine yourself in a frantic fight against some skulks when suddenly you are knocked down, the model would switch to ragdoll but the camera view would stick in first person.

2)If parasites would be real parasites, if gorges/new alien could plant a egg inside a light armored marine. Now if he himself dies( or a fellow hivemate) he could get out of the body. Again if you were in a fight suddenly 1 of your marine teammates would suddenly drop down and start twitching and a lifeform would emerge. You could spawn inside the marine player and view though his eyes and click a button when you wanted to burst out.

3) Ability to bite off limbs, either the comm could use nanobots to reconstruct a temporary replacement leg until the marine can get back to homebase to heal the tissues and reconstruct his hand/feet whatever. For aliens it would make them limp, maybe restrict them from flying(shoot a wing of a flyer) or sticking to walls(limbs missing) and if you find a alien who didnt see you and get the time you could maybe be able to shoot of certain parts of there bodies to disable upgrades and attacks, shooting in the eyes would blur the vision ect.

4) Dragging , i love the moments in the films where people drag there fellow teammates. Maybe it would be nice if you could pick up a teammate or drag him by floor, if his injured/missing limbs all the while being abel to shoot back at the alien menace.

5) Skulks(if ns2 will have them) sticking to marines, now imagine a marine is camping this time , now you could jump on his back and strike your claws through him. He could get you off himself so now you could either stick to him(he would die slowly) or bite his neck to kill him, when he has teammates coming to back him up they would be abel to shoot you down easly.

6) Fire , put a smaller lifeform on fire and he will burn like a torch not being abel to stop it himself, only healing/water could put him out. Also if come in contact put chambers/players on fire.

7)Bite his gun off/make it drop, well jump on a marine and steal his gun by holding it in your mouth and take it back to your hive for safe keeping or hide it. Whatever suits you.

yes i know im utopical here but i wanted to get it out of my system on how would i see ns2. mostly like a good ski-fy movie where there lots of dieng, leaving comrades behind, last fights crawling with your gun and killing off swarms of baddies , wakeing up in a hive, feeling helpless like in a horror movie,
putting my antiflame armor on.

Single player yes, multiplayer................errrr no.

CrazyFool

duduhead.


no really though i don't know if those things are possible but i've always thought about being able to restrict abilities at the loss of limbs

Darkns

Some of those ideas wouldn't fit in NS because of the no gore policy, and others, while neat ideas, wouldn't be that fun in-game.
While I like the 'hit to the eyes blurs vision' (like Perfect Dark), since aliens are always running head/first at the enemy, I'm not so sure that'd play out that well either. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Abra

Nah, don't like them.

Cold_NiTe

I wouldn't mind spawning in a marine. Especially since it would free up the hive to respawn someone else. The only issue is balance. If you can respawn really fast because your team is full of people who are a good shot with parasite, then it is no longer fair.

N_3

i like the dragging thing, would go well with a med building (that provides other health related upgrades). You could drag a marine to with one of these radius to revive the marine. Would perhaps be a late game tech to compensate 4-5 hive spawning if ns2 does that.

Wyattx3

Only thing id like to see in the game is a flame thrower that looks decent, maybe not possible with HL1 engine, never seen a good one, HL2 engine might have a better chance with some nice coding

maybe not the make marines drop it, but i would like to be able to pick up guns and move them away

glimmerman

I like that dragging guns awat idea. Gives marines less chance of retriving thier HMG's etc when they drop it.
