Crouch Stance

Post by tiredbum » 04 Mar 2017, 15:20

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
You know what's the absolute worst? FF, I am so tired of it. I get that we are all boots, but sometimes it is impossible to avoid FF when someone is just pushing you into fire. Also, IC, you would think we have SOME way of not shooting each other in the back. Solution? CROUCHING!!!

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
the aliens would have to learn what humility is by losing a round or so every 100 games. I know this sounds salt, but it is a bit tiring watching a young runner run sanic speeds in a square around a squad and watching everyone gun themselves down.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Add a "movement" stance. Run, Walk, Crouch. While crouching you move INCREDIBLY SLOWLY, or you cant move at all, with the added benefit that your fellow muhreens can shoot over your head. Do you have to shoot someone? Iron bears? Traitors? MPs aiming at someone? then make it so the Auto firing stance always hit someone crouching....well that may need tinkering

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Again, unfamiliar with the coding so I cannot really say, but I would hope adding another stance and making it so bullets would miss them while in that stance might be simple.

This has been suggested before, and it was denied because it would be too much effort to do all of the sprites for it. And without sprites, it would be immensely difficult to tell when someone is crouching. Denied.
