<div class="IPBDescription">I didn't know what it was specifically called. hmm</div>I know there is about 634% chance this has already been mentioned, but I'm gonna go ahead and mention it once more.

Now, i thought of this just now, when i thought about how cool it would be to be able to shoot other people/aliens in the eyes to take out eye sight (I'm not a freak). This could have different effects too all areas of the human body/ alien body,

i.e. Marine legs mean speed decreases of UP TO 50% in relation to how much damage done;
Marine arms mean your aim is slightly wobbly to very wobbly;
Aliens legs same deal as marines;
Lerk wings means decreased flight times/ and or speed;
Skulks can only stick to walls for X amounts of seconds with damaged limbs;
Onos... are too tank. No effect, bar legs;
Shooting any class in the eyes means your screen becomes congested with blackness UP TO 50%;

Not really sure, just some basic ideas that would make people aim instead of just spamming. Would probably be a serious mofo to try and implement into the game; specially something like shooting people in the eyes. May sound like Aliens have alot more debuffs, but in the end, marines only need a few big ones like, wobbly aiming and its all over.

Just another idea. What do you rekon? More ideas on debuffs?

    This is actually one of the examples in the <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=105853" target="_blank">How 2 Search</a> thread. <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=103405&hl=broken+leg" target="_blank">Here</a> is one of the threads you were thinking of. And <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=105852" target="_blank">here</a> is one still on the front page.

    My general opinion on this is that being crippled in game is not fun.

    If you are 634% sure this has come up, who do you bother posting it really?

    I don't think this would be a good feature. Because then players would think the idea to win is to cripple your opponent or would make the game unfair, and therefore not fun.

    Even if they make it fun it's going to take one nice netcode to get hitboxes working accurate enough at NS speeds.
