Marines being able to duck.

[username123]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Marines will be able to duck.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

The marines will be able to duck to reduce the FF of people shooting that are standing.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Will improve the assaulting strategies of the marines when they are in the caves with narrow paths, the marine at the front will duck and shoot while the others would be able to fire behind him without hitting the marine. if two marines are ducking in front of each other, they would be able to shoot at themselves.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Just like grilles, but if you click directly at the marine that is ducking, you will hit him.

It would open up new tactics that the marines could implement. Also, marines would be able to hide under tables, much like the smaller aliums.

+1 something should be done about the FF. Front guys can duck down but will get hit if they move. By crouching you avoid 60% of shots and they only do 25% as much damage or something.


If you look at games like CS:GO, most FF is from nades and such, even with bullets still able to hurt teamates. This means that even in large gunfights when you are shooting right next to teammates, rarely are you killing another guy.

These are supposed to be trained USMC, the best in the biz, I doubt they would all shoot each other so easily.

How about when you are walking instead of running you have a chance to not be hit by bullets?

Well along the lines of that.

Would be interesting to have 'walk' turn into a crouch that would allow marines to fire over each other. Would probably require a fair bit of coding and re-spriting though to make marines able to tell who's crouching at a glance, but it'd be a neat mechanic to have.

Denied, it would be difficult to accomplish without redoing nearly the entire system of how sprites appear, otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell they were ducking.
