new alien life form thought

this is just a thought.

i think it would be really cool that their is some type of alien that is so small that would be able to infest marines and turn them into weird mutants that has a random generated infestation on it. every mutant should be different.

for example : a marines infected with the new type of alien turns into some fat green monster that starts to produce more of the creatures. then, when not needed anymore, he becomes a bomb or turns into infestation.

or, a marine turns into a mutant that keeps running on two legs and that can leap extremely far. it can still use its gun, while the other arm has become some weird spiked tentacle. parts of the armor are still on, half-covered in infestation

or, a marine turns into infestation with randomly generated defenses on it.( like clawed arms or acid throwing mouths.)

or, a marine becomes a very agile monster that kept very few armor. it can hide in vents and attack on surprises (like the skulk).

or, a marine becomes a very large mutant with tentacles coming out of its body and has multiple mouths.

and etc...etc...

every mutant has a specific amount of armor, of life and of energy, all based on the infector.

i don't really know anything about creating games, cause i'm just someone that enjoys playing games but has ideas that would like to be heard, but i know that something like this would take a very long time to do.

so what do you think?

    It sounds like an idea more fitting for a pure RTS game. How does one defend against such an infestation? Or are you talking about dead marines? It's been said before that using corpses for gameplay mechanics was out of the question, but I'm not sure if that took into account secondary effects from normal attacks where the marine needs to die from the infectious (spore) attack to have something like an offense chamber build in the place his body fell. Having it being a creature that builds from an infected marine isn't as practical, I think.

    the idea sounds aweomse tbh!
    it would be even better if there would be some kind of "combatmaps". the big questionmark from my side is about the ballance!if such an "infection" spreads too much within marineteam it might kill all of them whyle they should acomplish tasks around the map. so aliens would have a massive advantage by using this kind of biological warfare!what would the marines have to ballance that out? killernanorobots?!
