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

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Less cheese
Marines get a chance to fight back

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

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Change in variable in the code
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Hunter pounce is shit for its intended purpose.

Against robust marines in a group, you might as well be suiciding when you pounce directly on people since now your stunned and at the mercy of burst fire pulse rifle or a direct cuckshot.

Direct pounce stuns are only good in xeno pushes with other T2's and T3's, and against one marine.

In both cases, your fucked anyway, so giving a marine one extra second to contemplate his bad life choices isn't gunna help.

Hunters more than often actually get away from those situations, despite all the burst fire, somehow, i don't even know how, marines somehow hit their teammate or just don't react fast enough, but hunters 95% get away, esspecially once they are elite cucking

The extra second ensures the marine can get up in time and still fight back, the cooldown is over the moment the pounce stun completes, and when the Marine gets up, they get pounced AGAIN before they can even shoot their gun.

Thats because people aim on the hunter directly; this is BAD. It means that all bullets go through two people; the xeno and the marine lying down below.

The GOOD thing to do is to shoot one tile away from the Hunter; this ensures that most bullets hit the hunter. If your the only one shooting the Hunter, there is a chance they will live, but not even an Elite hunter can take two marines burst firing at a hunter at close range with this method.

I don't think it's the right time for this suggestion. Pounces may be changed. Denied.
