It would be neat to be able to +USE bodies (friendly or enemy) so you could drag your friends to safety, while waiting for an engineer to arrive, or dragging away enemy bodies to prevent enemy engineers from reviving them.
The problem with that is that the ragdoll physics are client-side. If the ragdolls were set to server-side, then it would eat up all the bandwidth when the player count got above 12 or so. Plus, considering the gameplay at the moment, I would think that the work required to get this into the game would not be worth the actual enhancements delivered.
Just use Grenades, I've gotten rusher's bodies out of the middle of the street with three so I could trust my calculator in thier dead face and let them respawn and run for their damn lives. But I would like this... There was an Engineer that rushed out from behind cover, past four lvl3 MGs to heal me, then got killed trying to get back... I wish I could of got him out of there and called for a revive while I was in cover.
maybe "mount" the body's on your back pressing "use" ? making you a bit slower and unable to have accurate shooting "use" again will dropp where you aim
Yeah it's fun. As for dragging bodies, I understand the lag aspects, but if this could work it would be phenominal, and really add to the gameplay.
how about being able 2 pick up dead bodies and throw them at people , that would be cool. Then if u kill somone with a body it gives a little dead body being squashing somone kill icon in the top left. woooahh!
This game is fun and all, but I don't think Human Sheilds would be a good addition. But pulling allies out of fire to get them revived would be good.
somebody give this man a medal! (I like the idea too) Maybe the full ragdoll doesn't have to be server-side, just the general location? The same way live players are tracked?
how about the engie has a choice when there holding the calc. over the dead guys face..... they ponder over the decision whether to revive them ....... ........ or to.......... turn them into hl2 zombies !!! put one of those little turkeys on there head and he's off to cause havok !
Wow, you never help with anything do you? You suck at being a post count whore as much as you suck at being an Arty Whore. And Jambo, do you mean Headcrabs, not turkeys?
slinging dead mates over your shoulder would be sweet, maby give a 50% ressitance to enemy fire but unable to use your weapons while carrying someone, could get a bonus once a engie revives you kow for pulling the guy into safety...
